The night of the same day.
I returned back to the Corporate Assessment Gauntlet hotel feeling motivated.
Things didn't go as I had planned, but it was all my fault for not preparing and practicing for the pitch more adequately, as well as making proper research and taking into account a bunch of other things.
This didn't bring me down emotionally. I chastised myself, and would prepare more adequately for the next meeting.
Negotiations hadn't broken between Blackstar and Pineapple, we had adjourned it to a later date, as they needed time to consider our offer and take into account a lot of other stuff.
I was fine with this, I would have enough time to focus on other important things, like the third challenge.
'I wonder what it has to offer, the official said the challenge would begin tomorrow, and I currently don't have any information of the details of the challenge, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see,' I thought to myself.
