Change in Harmony (A Silver Script Novel Book 4) Read Free Page B

overdressed for work, but he wanted to make a good impression on the clients. Today he had a few meetings with different clients that he was hoping to win over.
    The air was crisp as he made his way to the subway. The longer commute was the one downside to his new place, but that also gave him time to do a little work before he got in. He glanced over the shoe campaign, happy with what he’d come up with. They’d revamped their summer collection, and he hoped he’d get the account. Erin had several already, so he just had to prove that he could do a better job with this one.
    Images of Erin played across his mind. Nate had hoped to persuade her to date him, but she never caved. And then Jake came along and swept her away. Nate shook his head. That ship had sailed, and it did no good to wish it had been different. He’d tried to date other girls, but they just didn’t compare.
    And then Allison came along.
    Nate shook his head. Why did he just allow his mind to go there? He tried to forget about what had happened at the diner, but those eyes, and that smile . . . ugh. Stop it.
    Silver Script Ad Agency still had their Valentine’s Day decorations up when Nate arrived at work. He winked at the receptionist and punched the button on the elevator. Two women rushed in before the doors could close, and Nate smiled at them. He’d seen them around, but didn’t know their names.
    Erin, Cassidy, and Debra were already at work when he set his bag down in his office. Whatever project they were working on had them in early and out late at night. Of course, if he got this account, he’d have the same schedule.
    Nate poked his head into Debra’s office. “Hey, I just wanted you to look over these before the meeting today.”
    Debra took the papers from him and looked through the sample. “I like it. Great job.”
    “Thanks.” He took back the offered folder. “Once this gets approved, I’ll have time to start another project as well.”
    Erin rolled her eyes, but didn’t say anything. Debra turned to her computer and pulled up the list of current projects.
    “There are a few on here I’ll send your way soon. For now, just concentrate on this one.” Debra smiled up at Nate. “How’s the new place?”
    Nate leaned against the counter. “It’s nice. Smaller than my other one, but it’s in great shape with no leaking pipes.”
    Debra laughed. “That’s a bonus.”
    “Definitely. I better get going. I’ll be watching for those assignments.” He smiled at Erin and left the office. Hopefully, he didn’t get the leftovers after Erin picked the ones she wanted. She was beautiful and did a great job with all of her clients, but just once he wanted to get the better project.
    The conference room was empty when Nate walked in. He set out the papers for each person and made sure the projector was set up just right. Along the sides of the screen, he set up the larger posters that his assistant had put together so they could keep the ads in mind while they looked at the flowcharts. It was something he constantly reminded Erin to do, but she insisted she had her own way of doing things.
    As the room began filling, Nate made sure to stand near the door and welcome each person, complimenting them in one way or another. That way, everyone was smiling by the time they sat at the table.
    Debra slipped in at the last moment and smiled at him from the back of the room. Nate picked up the remote for the projector and took a drink of his water.
    “Welcome to Silver Script Ad Agency. I hope everything is to your liking. As you know, we’re here to discuss the new campaign for the summer lineup.” Nate flipped to the first slide. It showed groups of children playing at the park. “We want to make sure that everyone not only enjoys the look of the shoe, but that they see how much fun they can have while wearing them. Especially because most kids these days are stuck on their electronics and forget—”
    Nate caught the signal from
