CHAPTER SIX

The following day Terri sat in on a meeting and listened to everyone talking. This was the second time she’d attended one of these summits and she was feeling a little better than she had the first time. Maybe it was the pep talk from her mother, or maybe it was simply that she was getting used to the idea of her new life. But either way, Terri was determined to have her say this time. She had an idea that she was sure was a good one and whatever it took, she would be heard.

Ten people sat around a conference table, with Cooper at one end and Terri at the other. She caught him looking at her more than once, but then he would turn that icy focus on one of the others and she could breathe again. Even in a business situation, Cooper stirred something inside her that wouldn’t be ignored. He was obviously the king of the room, with the men and women gathered around the table all jostling for his attention.

With all of the opinions being argued, voices raised to talk over each other, Terri tried to follow it all. But more important, she waited for her chance to speak up herself. This was her chance to get not only Cooper’s attention, but everyone else’s, as well. She’d looked through a lot of the specs on the Hayes hotels all over the world and she knew that expansion was in the works again.

While most of the members of the board were interested in going into new, untested markets, Cooper wanted more than one Hayes hotel in the major cities where they were already a force to be reckoned with. She could see both points of view, but her idea might bridge them. She hadn’t heard anyone else bring up what she was thinking, but for all she knew this idea had been discussed and dismissed in some earlier meeting. So she was taking a risk, but if she was going to make this her new life, then she had to step up and take a stand.

She tapped her fingers against the cover of the file on the Hayes London hotel. She’d gone over it, front to back. Terri knew it was a five-star—she’d expected nothing less—and that the hotel restaurant had two Michelin stars. She knew it was in the center of Hyde Park and that the rich and famous regularly stayed there. What she didn’t know was why Hayes Corporation needed another five-star hotel in the same city.

“I’m saying simply that moving the corporation into an area completely lacking in five-star accommodation puts us at the top of the mountain.” A gray-haired man in a black suit fixed his gaze on the woman in a cherry-red suit sitting opposite him.

This would be so much easier on her, Terri thought, if she could remember their names. But there were so many of them and she hadn’t been there very long.

“My point, that you seem
