Today is the day she has been waiting for. She was both excited but nervous, enthusiastic but worried at the same time. The future of the company depended on this deal she was going to pitch today. Araceli has been working on the deal for over 6months with a whole research base and backup file, she knows that the contract wasn't only important to the company but to Araceli too, this was most of her life's work, hence why she couldn't afford to mess it up.
She got up an hour before her alarm due to her restlessness, so she decided to take a run to clear her mind, A run and a good coffee will keep her straight,so she left the house at 6 27 am jogging up to her estate.
The sun had partially risen and the air was cool again her face but she could feel the slight chill of winter,she remembered how she would dread the winter,how she would cuddle up with Talon and just never want it to end. She shook her head comically trying to shake away the thoughts of her bastard ex. If she was going to win this thing, she needed to stay focused on her goal.
Time being its usual self flew by and by the time she alighted at the house it was already half-past seven, she got to her room and discarded her sweaty clothes as she headed for the shower. Not wasting any time, she opted for a red blazer and a black slim fitted jumpsuit with an oval opening on the front, putting on some black heels and light make-up, she left her room satisfied archiving the power look she was aiming for. She headed down the stairs towards the kitchen where Mrs Garcia was already having coffee and toast.
"Hey Darling, good morning," Mrs. Garcia said warming
"Morning mom," Rachel replied with a kiss on her head.
"The maids told me you went out early in the morning, where did you go"? Selena asked as she looked up at her daughter who had been so different since the accident that almost took her life.
"For a run," Rachel replied simply while making herself a toast.
"A run?” Mrs. Garcia asked shocked, “since when did you start going for runs' ' she added, skeptical and a bit worried. She has known her daughter all her life and all of a sudden she starts going for a run and suddenly has a weird thing for strawberries, it made her worried, maybe the bash to the head dealt a little more damage than the doctor thought.
"I just needed to clear my head mom,you know I am pitching Ar...my idea today and i need to make it good, the company needs this deal for the next level marketing trend,”.Rachel explained.She really needed to get her shit together, it was starting to get obvious that she was a different person,she wish she could talk with Araceli again, I mean it happened before,it could happen again...right??,God who was she kidding,she was alone in this, which meant she needed to be stronger for both of them now, that's the only choice she had.
When Rachel saw Mrs. Garcia nodded her head, she quickly went to her and give a kiss on her cheeks. This was the newly found affection that Araceli’s mum loves. So she was able to evade any other question and immediately went downstairs in search of Jeffery.
On reaching the front gate, jeffrey was already waiting for her, she got into the car and checked her phone for text or anything at all, slightly disappointed that she didn't receive any text from a certain someone. she was a bit restless now and she knows what that means, A morning with double coffee, she knows she sure as hell needed it.
"Uhm jeffrey, can we make a stop at starbucks so Ican get some coffee, ” Rachel asked taking a break from the file she was ready.
"Yes of course," he replied.
“Thank you, ” Rachel added and continued to read the file.
In a few minutes, they made a stop at starbuck and she ordered coffee with cream and little sugar. A good caffeine will keep her focused for the presentation.
She reached the office half past eight and went through her private elevator to her office straight away, Her secretary had already arranged the necessary files she needed for the presentation,the presentation wasn't holding till 11am so she had time to do other work, and she also promise Ace that if she got the deal she would take him for a movie night at the cinema to watch the movie he has been so excited about the new Lego movie.
There were alot of reasons she needed the deal,she has been so busy with work that she hardly had time to spend with Ace and that really made her feel bad. She distracted herself with things to do till it was 20minutes to 11 am, it was almost showtime.
On cue, her secretary also entered her office to remind her and wish her well, which she replied with a warm smile as she went ahead to help her carry the files to the glass-tainted conference room.
