“Sweet Jesus, I’m so nervous.” Laila glanced toward Wen as they carried the last of the presentation boards to the conference room.

Wen shrugged. “He either likes it or he doesn’t.” Man, didn’t he sound grown up? His stomach was eating itself from the inside. Of course, lying awake all night thinking up things he wished he’d said to Peter didn’t help much.

Wen bumped open the door with his butt and carried the boards to the easels at the front of the room. They could have put the whole thing into digital, but he wanted the images of the painting and the people to remain constant while the ad itself changed.

Arnie and Mark already sat at the conference table checking their phones, and they looked up at Wen. Arnie said, “They’re going to be here in five minutes.”

“We’re ready.”

Arnie focused back at his screen and muttered, “I doubt if anything could be ready for these idiots.” Interestingly, Arnie hadn’t seen the ad. He said he wanted to be fresh so he could get the client’s point of view. Right. Arnie wanted distance and the ability to say he had nothing to do with any future failures.

Wen glanced at Mark Allworth, but the CEO stayed neutral-faced. He had seen the ad, pronounced it “interesting and creative,” and exited the conference room after telling Wen it was his baby to present. Talk about being left to hang in the breeze.

Brock adjusted the projector in the middle of the table, and Wen checked his laptop.

The intercom buzzed and the receptionist announced, “Mr. Henderson and his party are here.”

Mark stood. “I’ll get him.” He strode out of the big room, and Laila and the art director, Mickey, both glanced at Wen with saucer eyes.

Nobody spoke until Mark walked back in, saying over his shoulder to Henderson, “We appreciate this opportunity.”

Henderson came in with three of his people. One of the women, Sherry Morell, had been with him last time. Sherry looked somewhere between bored and irritated. Great way to start.

The peanut butter people all sat at the conference table in a line.

Mark smiled his best CEO smile. “I’m going to leave this in the hands of Wendell Darling, who’s marshaled his team to take some risks and give you a new look, Graham. At the least, I hope you’ll give him points for, uh, guts.”

Arnie gave a soft snort.

Henderson flashed a small frown, then returned his face to placidly interested.

Wen walked to the front of the room. Here goes and what the fuck. “Comfort Foods has taken the next step in peanut butter. Not the heavily processed, additive-laden, sugar-packed substance of the traditional large manufacturers, but also not the easily separated, clumpy, dry, over-processed mess of the health food store. Comfort is actually providing a nourishing, fun, real food at a reasonable price—just for a new generation.” He whipped the cover off the huge board with the photos of the Lost Boys and Tink.

Henderson’s eyes widened at the photomontage, but he didn’t say anything.

Wen took a deep breath and nodded at Brock, who turned on the projection system.
