Chapter Seventeen

A WEEK LATER, Drake was on the phone when Annie walked through the front room. As she passed through she heard him say, “Come down next week. We can scope it out together, but I'm telling you it can work.”

Annie was sipping her coffee when he came into the kitchen, his face lit up like he was excited about something.

“Something amazing just happened,” he said. “My buddy in Seattle just called me. He's a VP at Hylink, in charge of customer care all over the world. And they're looking for a location for their new call center. Someplace cheap where there are lots of folks needing work.”

“Like here?” she asked, feeling excited.

“Yes. Like here.” He rubbed his hands together. There was a glint in his eyes she hadn't seen before.

“And they could train people to do this work easily?”

“Yes. All they do is manage the support functions and route their field engineers to where they're needed. Anyone could do it.”

“What's Hylink?”

“They make chips. Custom programmable chips.”

She smiled, shrugging. “Okay. Well, that sounds good. I guess.”

He chuckled. “Bella never understands any of it either. Says it's all mumbo jumbo. I'll just say this. They make products that help run a lot of things.”

“Do you know what this could mean for us here?”

“I do, as a matter of fact. You must have put something in my food at Riversong because I'm starting to feel the bug. The minute Ben called I thought it was meant to be or something. He's going to come out next week and take a look, but I know he'll think River Valley is perfect.”

“I cannot wait for you to tell Mike. He's going to be beside himself.”
