She was tired after the flight and had decided to take a nap and freshen up. Silverado Belle was the hotel's name and in her hotel room had a it's beauty was simply spot on, the room had a mix of white and silver a deadly combo with a touch of red in very little places, because of the traffic on getting to the hotel, her room was given out, so she paid some extra money to get a from for a newly wed, at first paying the money wasn't the problem, the problem was the type of room she was given but now gazing upon the beauty of this room, her annoyance had vanished. She took off her clothes and put on her bubble pink robe from her suitcase, she entered the bathroom and the walls were a lovely white and blue combo and she noticed the light blue had trialed designs on the white. Slipping off her robe she entered the tub and had soak in the water, pouring the scented bubble soap all over her body and massaging the areas, she soon rinsed in off and grabbed a towel, she went to the sink and brushed her teeth and stepped out of the bathroom, putting on a pair of dark blue jeans and a sweater, she walked off to the dinning hall. She sat in an elegant hall and took a menu, she had never really been known for eating much and that got her a deal with a modeling agency along with her business, "umm, waiter" she said as quiet enough to avoid attention, the waiter appeared to her in a flash, he was an older man dressed in the hotel's them color silver, "ma'am, what will you have", "I'll have a roast chicken with a green salad and a glass of red wine" she said and her nodded and walked off, she took the liberty of checking for any mails, calls or texts, some where from her mother, some for her close friends and family and the rest were from business and her calendar popped up reminding her of her meeting in the morning by 8am, soon after the waiter arrived with her food and she ate in peace with the sound of a light orchestra background music, ' this was comforting ' she thought, after eating she said for the food and decided to take a stroll, the streets of Cameroon had been elegant but the rush of this afternoon had made her not notice, she visited an ice cream joint and ordered for a vanilla swirl in chocolate, she took her ice cream and ate it ate she walked, after a while she decided to go back to the hotel, a speeding car splashed dirty water as it passed by making her yell, "you imbecile, watch where your going" and the car stopped and she muttered, "fucking idiot", a man stepped out of he's car and walked up to her, he was taller than her by 3-4 inches (approximately) and he had a charisma that no one wouldn't notice, he wore and dark blue blazer and a white v shaped shirt revealing the chest muscles, he's hair was evenly jelled to fit he's outfit and face, on he's face he had pink lips and light green eyes which seemed to get darker as he came towards her and finally she noticed he had pale skin and he's right had was decorated with a gold watch and a pinky ring, "say that again", he said with a deep European husky voice, "I said watch were you're going and I muttered fucking idiot" she replied with a bold stare by now she had learned that weakness doesn't pay the bills, on hearing her words he's smirked, "didn't mama ever teach you to be friendly with strangers" he asked, "didn't daddy ever teach you the speed to use after rain storms" she asked with a smirk, "yeah he did" he answered, "mom did too, but she never said be a fool" they both looked at each other smirkingly but their eyes held hatred. She wasn't gonna stay there any longer with a stranger so she bounced off, leaving the man to himself.
Morning came rather late as Liz woke up early and went over her work, she hadn't been in the bath too long and was now doing her makeup, she logged through her bag to look for an outfit and had eventually picked a suit pants with a white blouse and a blazer giving compliments to the idiot she was the previous night as he was her inspiration for the outfit, she added a 3 inch heel and tired her hair into a burn, picked up her shades adding extra lipstick and off she went. The car had taken her to the company GONZALES INDUSTRIES was the name and hopefully she'd get the deal but if it was what she wanted it wouldn't take long to cancel it and just turn the business trip to a vacation.
She walked into the company and was directed to the meeting room, she was fully prepared nothing could stop her, "oh fuck" she muttered under her breathe Mr Gonzales was the idiot she met the previous night, "Good morning" he said and a giant smirk formed on he's face, thinking he'd be the kinda idiot that would mix business and personal lives the deal was lost but either way she decided to give her presentation, "Ranalde Company, presents the first ever merge of companies with an African empire" she started, the meeting room was completely silent as everyone in the room had a contribution, at the end if the meeting everyone had smiles on as the deal of partnership was made between both companies, Fredrickson Bombash had invited both Liz and Stacey Hazel (Lizzy's assistant) to a party he was throwing that even in celebration of the success. She was driven to the hotel and had taken a shower, the party was by 8pm and it was already 6:30 so she decided to take a nap and freshen up after. It clocked 7:20 and she had woke up in a mess of things, she hurriedly took another shower and then wore and off shoulder silhouette gown, which was OX blood and had a touch of white, she mentally thanked her assistant for the party outfit as it looked divine, she wore a 4.5 inch silver shoe which matched her watch and then she used a curling iron to give herself a perfect hair do, her make up was light and instead if lipstick she wore lip gloss, she was ready.
She arrived at the party 20 minutes late and when she walked in with her assistant all eyes were on them. From her makeup to her blue chiffon dress and her necklace and her watch she simply looked gorgeous and she commented her boss as well who thank her for the outfit. Elizabeth Ranalde and Stacey Hazel stole the show of the party with just their arrival. The party had gone well and the food was simply divine, Fred had called her out for a speech and after here Julius would give a speech (she still didn't like me) then they would cut the ribbon together, "Good evening everyone, it's been an honor and pleasure being here, today marks the date when the Ranaldes sign a deal with the Gonzales, and it was successful, we are both happy and excited for this project to come to life, we promise to be easy to work with and furthermore thank all of you for your support and joining us in our celebrations" she ended and earned a round of applauses, "There is really not much to say, but in addition this will be for the betterment of lives and we're excited to make a change in this world" he said. She held the scissors and he held her hands and whispered, "didn't think I'd see you again", "just cut the ribbon you idiot" she said and the cut the ribbon, "it's like idiot is my new nickname from you" he said, "yeah, it suites you best" she said with a smile.
"AND THIS IS THE START OF A BEAUTIFUL PARTNERSHIP" Fredrickson Bombash said to which the crowd clapped and cheered while Liz and Julius just start at themselves.
