Chapter 7

Anna woke early with a nervous feeling in her stomach. She and Elyse were set to drive down that morning to present the event concept to Martin Enterprises.

Over the last several weeks, she barely had contact with Alistair and instead had been working on events Gala & More had already been contracted to manage. The wine launch would be the first event that she had conceived of and designed herself. She had driven Frances and Olivia insane with the details, but she was ready.

Alistair had told her in a conference call that he was going to assemble his sales and marketing teams to give their stamp of approval. There would be at least six people attending her pitch.

She met Elyse at the office and the assembled the needed samples and materials for the presentation.

Getting into the small hired car, Anna said “I hope this goes well. So much is riding on getting this project and the investment.”

Elyse said, “You have done a brilliant job. Each time I’ve heard the presentation, I was sold. Remember positive thoughts.”

During the drive, they discussed other projects and reminded each to relax.

They parked behind the building, allowing them to carry in the samples and materials. Anna had emailed the presentation the day before so Alistair’s assistant could set up the conference room. Katie had bound and copied a dozen color proposals to hand out.

In the parking area, Elyse reached out and touched her elbow. “You’ve got this. Your presentation is engaging and the concept is brilliant.”

Anna hugged her. “I appreciate all of your help and guidance.” In the last few weeks, she had become close to Elyse and Katie. The company was beginning to come together.

She opened the boot and took out the cart they had purchased for events. Elyse helped her load all the boxes and materials.

Anna was familiar with Martin Enterprises and led Elyse to the conference room, after saying hello to the receptionist.

Alistair’s assistant, Ryan, was getting the room ready and helped them unpack the boxes. Anna advanced the first digital slide and thanked Ryan for uploading it. Elyse placed the proposals in front of the chairs for each person that would be seated at the table.

The other samples and materials were set up on a side table and included a place setting, linens, flowers, lights and the fabric that would cover the pathway.

Pacing in front of the podium, Anna took a deep breath and waited for the attendees to come in. Mentally reviewing the concept in her head, she reminded herself to slow down and remember to get a read on her audience. Elyse stood off to the side and would help answer questions and distribute samples.

Alistair was the first to arrive and greeted both her and Elyse before speaking with Ryan.

The sales and marketing executives came in and Alistair introduced everyone before taking a seat at the end of the long table.

Anna tried not to focus on Alistair, but her gaze kept returning to him. Since their erotic encounter at the public garden, the tension between them was palpable.
