" ....You’re the heartbeat in my song, with you, I know where I belong ...."
Early in the morning, Diamond’s voice rang throughout her room as she sang Shining Star happily while she changed.
It was the day of the marathon, and she was feeling jovial. She couldn’t help but show it with her body.
[Ding! Do you want to sign in?]
How could she not want to sign in?
[Ding! You have been rewarded with a rice-style recipe book.]
Diamond halted her movements when she heard that, a bit dumbfounded by this reward. However, considering the fact that she once got stew recipes, then getting this recipe book was perfect.
A smile suddenly blossomed on her face, thinking about how her future restaurant had almost everything covered before it got opened.
With her mother planning to open a restaurant, she would give her some of the recipes as well. Sharing the good things between families.
After bagging her reward for that day, Diamond hurriedly freshened herself. Once she was done, she packed her things, as well as the two briefcases, with the drones. She brought everything downstairs.
When she got there, her parents and Auntie Grace were already seated, waiting for her.
It was the weekend, so the three weren’t going to work. And with the foundation participating in the marathon event, it was even impossible for her parents to go anywhere.
Auntie Grace was still at her house and, according to her, she would be leaving in two days, which was perfect. She would have time to visit the farm and send her off with some local specialities.
While they were having breakfast, the four of them were chatting harmoniously about the marathon.
"What time is it starting?"
"Um. If things go accordingly, it should start around noon or around 1 pm."
"That’s a good time. At least spectators can find time to come and watch."
"That’s true, but it will be very hot!" Diamond couldn’t help but say aggrievedly.
The weather was blazing hot, which meant that there would be a lot of suffering later. Thank goodness her body was okay, but what about others?
She couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.
The family enjoyed their heartfelt breakfast. Once it was done, Diamond bid the others goodbye. She was leaving first, with the adults following later.
Diamond left the house driving the Aclerean. She understood the kind of chaos that car would cause once it was seen, but on the other hand; she felt that letting people get used to that car would help her a lot in the future.
Besides, her team of bodyguards were on standby, so she didn’t need to worry about any issues.
Admire and his team were already on alert and near the Cherry Court villa complex. So once the message came in, their cars shielded the Aclerean.
Through the traffic cameras, the traffic department and other related authorities were notified of this notorious car, and everyone was once again on alert.
Diamond drove her car straight to the foundation. Since she was attending on behalf of the foundation, she decided to drop by there first. Besides, she was supposed to meet with someone from Pace, who would bring her the sportswear she was supposed to wear that day.
Simultaneously, there were several things that she needed to chat with the managers at the foundation.
When she arrived, they had already been waiting for her.
Diamond didn’t linger for longer but took everyone to the conference room where they held a meeting, which lasted for an hour until she received a call that Tiana had arrived.
She didn’t think that the other would come personally; it took her aback pretty well.
Luckily everything had been discussed, so meeting with Tiana didn’t affect anything.
Tiana was brought to the conference room and honestly, it was her first time entering this building everyone had always been curious about.
It was already a mystery that a mysterious big shot arrived in their city and founded such a generous foundation. To think that the founder was so generous in using such a wonderful building for something that didn’t bring any profits, she couldn’t help but applaud the founder.
Even her family didn’t dare be reckless with such kind of money.
When she walked into the conference room, she spotted Diamond who was sitting relaxedly on the seat of honor with a familiar lady, who was literally the face of the foundation, Ms. Brown, since she was the public relations head.
Tiana wondered if the foundation’s staff was so lax to let their ambassador take such an honor. However, considering the fact that it wasn’t her business, she decided to keep her thoughts to herself.
Diamond was happy to see Tiana, so she welcomed the other enthusiastically. Ms. Brown didn’t stay for a long time once Tiana joined, which left the two by themselves.
Tiana had brought the sportswear, and they were pretty much a lot. She brought a lot of options for Diamond, and she was happy to take it all.
Why pick when she could choose everything?
However, for the day, Diamond knew that she would need to pick at least one. In the end, she still picked a pair of dark purple leggings with a matching sports bra that came with a loose tank top.
There was a pair of sneakers, a visor, and a pair of sunglasses as well. Tiana came prepared, and Diamond liked what she was seeing.
When Tiana saw that she loved everything, she was relieved. The two of them exchanged some words before Tiana excused herself.
She had other things to do, so she couldn’t be with Diamond all day.
Diamond sent Tiana off before meeting with her team.
With the clock ticking, it was time for everyone to move to the starting point of the marathon.
At this time, it was around 10 am. The team in charge of the marathon event project had left the foundation already to set up their stall. That way, by the time the marathon officially starts, the stall would be set and visitors could drop by for a visit.
