Ms. Williams

C. 4

I woke up bright and early Friday morning and called Mr. Row to pick us up to head to the venue. The location was a winery that a family friend of Rebekah's parents owned. It was absolutely stunning- and it most definitely fit the vibe that her friend had always dreamed of.

We spent the first few hours of the morning dancing around while getting our hair and make up done and talking through the evening and their honeymoon plans. After we were all ready for our dresses we got dressed for some photos and then Rebekah put on her wedding dress.

The ceremony was beautiful. It was elegant and classy, the men wore tan suits while the bridesmaids wore different shades of blush satin gowns. Rebekah's dress was beautiful, she looked so happy all day. I feel incredibly thankful that my best friend found a humble and kind man that loves her well. So far ⅔ of my closest friends had found men that treated them well, and knowing that they were happy was all I needed.
By the end of the reception Melissa and I were both exhausted and we still had a ton to do before we left early Sunday morning. We sent the bride and groom off for their flight to their extravagant honeymoon and loaded up in my driver's car to head back to my place to sleep.

The next day flew by in a blur. Before I knew it Melissa and I were up and boarding my fathers private jet at 4am ready to fly to Milan.

Melissa and I landed in Italy around 1:00.

We spent at least three hours of the flight discussing the identity of Greyson Jones.

The minute I told Melissa everything about our encounter at the office and how I came to the conclusion that it is best to forget it ever happened, she completely lost it.
She went on about how it is probably fate and how I would never be able to forget about it especially if I had to see him constantly. She made some remarks about how there would be no way we could be strictly business after the long night we shared that I had mistakenly told the girls, in complete confidence, with full disclosure, all about. I was really regretting that decision. I prayed the entire time she went on that she'd shut up. Melissa was definitely not seeing the HUGE issue here. My father would lose his mind if I not only compromised a business deal but the business deal with his CLOSE FRIEND.

After the reality of this uncomfortable situation sunk in, we both drank and went to sleep until an hour before landing.

Since the first meeting wasn't until the next morning considering we had landed on a Sunday afternoon, we decided to drop our bags off at the hotel and freshen up before heading to grab lunch and shop around for the day. One of the highlights of all the business travel was the access to exclusive fashion in other countries.

We found our way back to the hotel room around 6pm and ate dinner at the Hotels restaurant, which is another bonus for business- my job is to literally experience the hotel in its fullest capacity so that we know where upgrades are necessary. After our wonderful dinner, I spent the rest of the night prepping my final documents and presentations for the meetings tomorrow, crossing my fingers that Mr. Jones's team was easy to deal with.

I woke up the next morning at 6:30am and found the workout gym and ran on the treadmill for 45 minutes before hopping in the shower to get cleaned up and ready for the 3 meetings I have today. After I showered and did my hair and makeup I decided to wear one of the new suit coatsI got yesterday with a black tight business dress. I headed out letting Melissa sleep in since she wasn't required to be in the first two meetings.

I arrived at the Jones' Milan office at 9am sharp just in time to discuss last-minute details with Mr. Jones before our meetings we had scheduled for the day.
Lucky for me Mr. Jones approved of all my work and we got started with the first meeting with the construction teams.
We discussed the Hotels image and updates that are necessary along with budgeting, then we got lunch with some investors and shared all of our plans and images with them so that they felt good about where some of their money is going, then lastly I met up with Melissa and met the Hotels PR team that had been assigned to work with me to promote all the Hotel upgrades.

To say I was relieved to have made it the entire day without running into Greyson Jones was an understatement. Every corner I turned I prepared myself to bump into the man I had spent the night with, but lucky for me he never appeared.
