•••••••••••••••

Greco Studios' biggest client wanted to relaunch their website, and of course Hailey was the one leading the team because after all, she was Hailey Greco, the owner and founder of Greco Studios. It wasn't that she didn't pay attention to her smaller clients, in fact, she loved them because they were the ones keeping her company going, but she always felt that the bigger clients were more demanding, so she liked to stay as the leading designer with them.

Pierce Industries was a tech company that Hailey never even imagined working with, yet she always dreamed of it. It was one of the biggest tech companies and they were also international, with the Headquarters in London.

She thought of it as a miracle when the company contacted her. Being a tech company, you would think they had their own graphic designers on board, but nonetheless she was so excited to have been working with them for months now.

But although Greco Studios was very successful, Hailey was a very private person and would always keep to herself. Not many knew who was the person behind the design company, and it was always the talk around media. Only the clients knew who she was and it was also an advantage that everyone else called her by her middle name, Alex.

Not only is Hailey a successful designer with her own company that took her hard work to build, she also likes to invest in what she believes in, having her be a shareholder in a boutique hotel and an apartment complex, and be co-owner of a restaurant. But what Hailey is happy about, is being able to give to others and helping her loved ones.

Hailey had been a hard worker all her life. Being raised by a not so privileged family, she learned how to be grateful for life. Now she was able to enjoy the finer things in life because of her hard work, but she couldn't have done it without her family. She was very close to her parents, but life decide to take them away in a car crash. Now it was just her and her older sister, Casey, whom she looked up to and admired. Her sister always gave her everything and became a second mother to Hailey when their parents passed away. Hailey was only sixteen. Now, Hailey liked showing her gratitude towards her sister.

The meeting with Pierce Industries was making me nervous. It was only to talk about their vision of the website relaunch, but it was said that a representative from headquarters was going to attend and it was a bit intimidating. I had never worked with headquarters before, I was only used to the people from the Austin area, so it was new to me.

Only my assistant and I were attending the meeting, so I was getting everything ready to head to Pierce Industries. As I reached for my notepad, my phone started ringing.

"I'll answer it." Said Monica, my assistant.

I continued gathering all the necessary items for the meeting, when Monica interrupted me.

"Alex, it's Jessica, she wants to know where she is going to enter through?" Monica asked.

"Ah yes, tell her I'll be there in a bit. I'll show her the way." I said to Monica.
