It's 7 o'clock in the morning and Gabe is sitting in the lounge area of a 5-star hotel. He's been waiting for the client who contacted him the other day about a condo they saw on the postings on the internet. Why a 5-star hotel? Simply because this client is a celebrity who has finally decided to live in Manhattan.
Gabe doesn't personally know this girl nor has he seen her movies before but since they said that she's a celebrity, he made sure to bring his a-game.
"Good morning, Ms. Phelps," he rehearsed. "My name is AceCastles- no, no, no."
He sighed loudly and took a deep breath afterward. I can do this. This is just another deal that I need to make. Gabe told himself as an encouragement.
"Good morning, Ms. Phelps. My name is Gabe Wilson and I'm an agent from AceCastles. I will be the one to present to you some of our best condos in town."
From that minute, Gabe pretended as if he's having a conversation with his client. He continued practicing his lines and answering some frequently asked questions. Additionally, he used the portfolio that he has in order to show the best units that are available. Everything about the unit can be read in the portfolio and Gabe's most important role today will be the guide.
"Mr. Wilson?" A man in a black suit approached him in the lobby.
Gabe jolted upon hearing his name. He moved his gaze up to the man and a sudden feeling of nervousness sent chills down his spine.
He cleared his throat and stood up. Then he fixed his tie before offering his hand and introducing himself, "Yes, that's me. I'm Gabe Wilson from AceCastles."
"It's nice to meet you, sir." The guy shook his hand before pointing at the elevator with his hand, somehow prompting Gabe to follow him.
"Let me just get my things." Gabe turned around and took his bag as well as the portfolio. Then he walked ahead of the guy.
Both of them entered the elevator and it was the guy who pressed the 12th floor. Waiting for the elevator to reach the floor, both of them kept quiet.
Every once in a while, other people in the hotel also ride the elevator to go up to another floor. Reaching the 8th floor Gabe heard his phone chime.
So he took it out of his pocket and checked the notification. He then saw a message from his friend who set him up in this meeting with the celebrity.
From: Carla Babe
Hey, babe. How'd the meeting go? Did you close the deal? I really hope it goes well, I got ice cream for celebration tonight. See ya later, bye bye love you.
After reading that message, Gabe couldn't help but smile. Carla has been his friend since forever and she's always there for him for everything.
Especially when he decided to come out to his family as a gay. From the moment that they disowned him as their son, Carla was the one who took him in and sheltered him from the hate of the world.
He's as supportive as she is to him when it comes to her life and decisions. That is why their bond is so strong.
After another minute, he heard the elevator sound which made him turn up to the monitor.
"After you Mr. Wilson." The guy he was with earlier stood at the threshold of the elevator to keep the door opened for him.
Gabe only nodded his head. Then he slid his phone back into his pocket before exiting the elevator shaft and waiting for the guy to follow him.
"Thank you," Gabe said, in reference to the gesture that the man did.
"You're welcome," the latter replied. He was also the one who led them to the suite where the company's client is staying.
