bottle of scotch thanking him for the lilies, along with a suggestion to meet again in an attempt to get off on a better foot. If he responds positively, make your pitch with passion, determination, and professionalism. And if he still doesn’t waver, we will find another marketing firm to move forward with your plans.”
    Jessica is surprised and responds, “Okay, but I don’t know anything about scotch…”
    Nate says, “I’ll go get it right now and bring back the invoice from the liquor store in half an hour.”
    Jessica smiles and gives in. “Okay, make it happen. I want him to receive it today.”
    Already on his way out, Nate says, “No worries, I’ll take care of everything.”
    Jessica sits at her desk and begins going through her e-mails. She’s in the middle of responding to one of her clients when she is disturbed by Nate walking into her office with the invoice. Jessica just glances at it at first, then stares in disbelief. “Jesus Christ, Nate! Really? Sean drinks scotch that costs nearly eight hundred dollars a bottle? Shit, that’s more than reasonable people pay for child support. I better get some mileage with this gift, or I’ll dock it from your annual salary!”
    Nate smiles at her idle threats and replies, “And if he agrees to represent Beauty Boutique Clothing, you’ll double my annual bonus right?”

    Sean receives the delivery with Jessica’s note. After opening the package, he yells for Evelyn to come into his office immediately. As she walks through the door, he says accusingly, “I thought we made a deal?”
    Evelyn gives him a blank look. “What are you talking about?”
    “Don’t play coy with me. Look at what Jessica Silva just had delivered,” he says, showing her the bottle of scotch.
    Evelyn laughs. “Are you suggesting I told her about your scotch preference?”
    He smirks. “How else would she have known?”
    “Well, I don’t know, but I promise I never spoke to her about the type of scotch you like. When she left after your meeting, she asked about your snack and drink preferences. I told her about the gifts you received, and I mentioned you only drink very expensive scotch, but I never mentioned the specific kind.”
    “Why would you tell her all of that?” Sean demands.
    “Because she indicated she just wanted to thank you for your time. I have not spoken to her since our bet. Sean, maybe she is smarter than you’ve given her credit for, or maybe she got the information from Bonnie. Either way, I didn’t say a word to her except what I’ve already told you.”
    Sean considers for a moment, “Then will you please call Ms. Silva and see if you can arrange a meeting between us, say, three weeks from today if she is available? If not, just schedule a meeting whenever we are both available.”
    Evelyn smiles. “She outclassed you this time.”
    He glares at her and points to the door. “Out! And don’t forget to arrange the meeting!”
    Evelyn shrugs and heads to the doorway. She is halfway out when Sean sighs and says, “Yes, okay, she outclassed me on this one. Perhaps I have misjudged her.”
    Evelyn represses a smile, nods once, and makes the telephone call to Beauty Boutique Clothing. She is transferred to Nate and tells him she would like to schedule an appointment for Mr. Green with Ms. Silva three weeks from today at 10:00 a.m.
    Nate reviews Jessica’s calendar and says, “She isn’t available that day. Tentatively, a week later would work. I could put the appointment on her calendar, but Ms. Silva would have to confirm her availability with either you or Mr. Green next week.”
    Evelyn smiles and says, “That would be fine, but from Mr. Green’s perspective, it’s a firm appointment unless he hears otherwise.”
    “Thank you. Can I be of any further assistance to you, Evelyn?”
    “No, but please tell Jessica for me that the scotch was an exquisite move on her part.”
    She hears Nate chuckle over the line. “Thank you for your time,”
