I cut my engine off and I saw her already standing outside the building. I was already floating on cloud nine. Adelaide and I were better than ever and business was fantastic. I had just closed in on a 60 million dollar deal with Alesso, an Italian businessman, and now I was set to strike a new deal with a guy from Dubai who wanted to open one of his chains here in LA.
