How could She sleep, her mind was already in fantasy of the day coming forth and sleep was no where to be found
Several hours later the day brightens up and so did the joy on her heart as she longed for the new satisfaction the day was about to bring
She took her bath before the usual time she normally does and searched for the most appealing dress, one she had bought specially for this occasion

The valet handed her the eyes of her still looking new Lexus RX 350, she smiled him as she took it from him "thanks" and got into her car

….
The conference room was already filled up as they waited for the president of the board to get to conference room
The meeting was the quarterly report meeting which was held on each quarter of the year, so everyone was already aware of the time and the date it was to hold
Which explains the full house gathered there today
Added to the quarterly report that was the normal schedule of the meeting, there were few important announcements the president of the boards would make, based on the corporation newsletter that was released a week prior to the meeting
"And I would like to introduce our new president of the California branch…." The president of the board was speaking
There was a bit of tension in the air but not among the board members that were present as they had been the ones to make the decision on the new president
"Our new President of the company California branch is none other than the young and intelligent Riveria north…" Mr Gerrard Omma, president of the board said out loud to the members in the conference room
As everyone were now applauding the now standing and smiling Riveria north as she waved all in attendance, turning slowly around the conference table to make sure she waved at everyone
Riveria north had practiced this a million times, but the joy she felt right now was just so overwhelming that she had to stop herself from dropping tears of joy
"Thank you so much Mr Omma…. Am deeply touched by this, giving me such an opportunity to move this organisation forward through the proper running of the California branch" Riveria north thanked the president of the board while still standing as she was flowing with joy
"You deserve this Riveria, your hard work, determination and constantly pushing for the posterity of the organisation is very well deserved…."
"And we hope you can use this new position to push even harder as we grow as a corporation and a family "
"Yes Mr Omma…. And to all present here today, I promise to use this my new position as the
President of the company California branch to uplift the firm to greater heights" Riveria said with authority
And all in attendance burst into a hand of applauds and one by one they congratulated Riveria north for her current achievement
Riveria smiled as she shaked hands and exchange greetings, giving compliments here and there and receiving much compliment too
Even those other of her colleagues who were in consideration for the same position she had just acquired came to congratulate her too
The First person that came to Riveria's mind to share this wonderful news was her best friend Loira, they have known eachother for decades and were now inseparable
Then the thought came in 'Robert…..awwwww' she felt a bit of disappointment, her being the one disappointed with herself than he with her
Robert was Riveria north boyfriend for a few months now, they have been together, but time was always against the tide of their relationship as Riveria was always busy with work
The quaterly report meeting was getting near finished and everyone was satisfied with how it went
The moment Riveria north was out of the meeting and going back to her old office
She dialed her best friend number, Loira as soon as she got into the office
"Hey Loira…… Guess what?" Riveria said enthusiastically to her friend
Hearing Riveria tone and the delight in it made Loira know that Riveria her friend must have had a good experience and was happy
"You got laid?….." Loira giggled in response to her friend enthusiastic mood
"Seriously?…. No I did not, you have such a dirty mind" Riveria teased
"Oh wow, you really should try and have an experience of it… But nevermind that, what is making my best friend all hyped up, tell me the good news I can't wait to hear it"
"I just got promoted to the President of the company California branch" Anna said smiling
"Woohoo…. You serious girl?"
"Yeah I am, it's a big day for me today, we could go for one of those your parties this evening?" Riveria wanted to have a celebration for the promotion
"Wow you never agree to come to the parties, always busy with your work.." Loira teased her best friend
"Would really love to go with you do we could celebrate this new promotion… And also try to get you laid" Loira jested as they both laughed
"But you know that my big project I told you about?…. It's tomorrow morning, so I probably shouldn't get a hangover just before it"
"Yeah I understand, go kill it girl!!"
" thanks bestie, but we could go celebrate probably tomorrow or next"
"Yeah sure" Riveria smiled through the phone in how lucky she was to have such an amazing friend
