stood and clapped.
    “That was fantastic. Best I’ve heard all night. Or ever. And the way you spoke, it was like you were talking right to the TV audience. Brilliant.”
    Jake stood there stunned. Did that mean he had the job? “Wow, thank you.”
    “We’ll be contacting you in the next few days.” The director held out his hand and Jake shook it.
    After shaking everyone’s hands one more time, Jake and Erin were ushered out the door before it shut behind them.
    Jake turned to Erin. “What just happened?”
    Erin laughed, her eyes dancing. “I think you got the part. That was amazing.”
    “Thanks. Are you sure?” Jake stood there, still stunned by what had just happened. Usually his auditions were just a few polite words and promises that they’d call him back. They never did. He had no idea how much he would even get paid. He probably should have asked.
    “Seriously, it was fantastic. I can’t wait to see how you do with the commercials for me. You’ll be perfect.” Erin took Jake by the arm and pulled him toward the elevator.
    “So you still want me for the job?” Jake laughed. “That would really make my day.”
    Erin stopped and stared into Jake’s eyes. “The director wasn’t kidding when he said what he did. You made us believe that it was the best soda ever.”
    “Thanks. I guess it helps when you know the slogan by heart.” He laughed. He wanted to tell her that she was the reason he’d been able to do so well, but there was no way he’d admit that right now. Not when he’d be working for her the next day.

Chapter 5

    Erin woke the next morning to her phone ringing. She rubbed her eyes and reached for it, knocking papers to the ground in the process. It was Carissa.
    “Hi. Why are you up so early?” Erin glanced at her clock and groaned. She still had another half an hour before she needed to wake up. She could have used the sleep after staying up late finalizing the script for the advertisement. That day was more of a run through, but she wanted it perfect.
    “You didn’t call yesterday, so I barely slept. Why didn’t you tell me this Jake guy was perfect?”
    Erin rolled her eyes. “Because I was annoyed with him.”
    “He didn’t seem too annoying at the restaurant.” Carissa’s voice sounded a lot like her ‘I’m going to play matchmaker’ voice.
    “No, he was nice then. And after work when I went to his audition with him.” Erin added the last part in just so she could hear Carissa’s squeal. She put her phone on speaker so she could get dressed. Since she was up, she might as well get to the studio early.
    “You went out with him last night? How was it? Did you kiss?”
    “I just met the guy. Besides, we were busy the whole time. It was more of a business thing.”
    “Right. Well, if you two have anymore ‘business dates,’ you better tell me as soon as you get home. I want details.”
    “Got it. Now, I really need to get to work. I’ll talk to you tonight.” Erin slipped on her shoes.
    “You’d better.”
    Erin put her phone in her purse, then headed out to the kitchen.
    “Sorry, Coco. I don’t have time to eat breakfast with you.” Erin dished out Coco’s food before throwing some bread into the toaster.
    Coco meowed and watched everything Erin was doing before turning to her food. Erin picked her up and scratched under her chin before setting her down and grabbing her bags. She hurried downstairs and flagged a cab, then pulled the paper out of her purse so she could give the right address to the cab driver.
    Usually they filmed the commercials in a studio that was close to her office building, but since they were going all out with this account, she’d found a higher end studio to work with. She just hoped it was worth the extra cost.
    They pulled up to a building near where Jake had auditioned the night before. Erin paid the driver, and climbed out. She stared in awe at the large glass building in front of her. They’d pulled out all the stops when
