Chapter Ten

Summer unpacked decorative yard signs and daydreamed about dinner tonight with Chance. Was she crazy to want to pursue this relationship? She’d be insane not to. He was a fabulous guy who treated her right, made her laugh, kissed like a champion, and was handsome and successful to boot. Most people would say she was crazy not to run into his arms, yet she still wanted to be successful on her own. She laughed at herself. As if Chance was proposing or something.

Her cell phone rang. She pulled it out and studied the unfamiliar number. She didn’t usually get telemarketers. “Hello,” she said tersely.

“Miss Anderson?”

“Yes.” Should she just hang up or let the person get their spiel out? They probably didn’t want to be working as a telemarketer so she always tried to be nice.

“This is Marissa Yates with KJ’s Fun Zone.”

Summer about dropped the phone. She knew exactly who Marissa Yates was: CEO of her father’s biggest competition. Summer had a lot of respect for the company and the woman running it. She’d debated emailing them her résumé, but they were a lot larger than the companies she’d approached so far and she’d had little luck with the other companies. Everyone either said they couldn’t afford her, they didn’t design their own toys, or they already had a designer on staff.

“Um, yes?” She had no clue how to respond.

“It’s my understanding that Magical Dream Toys did not keep you on as a designer after the buyout.”

“No, they did not.” Was she just calling to rub it in? Sheesh.

“Have you already committed to another toy company?”

“No.” Summer paced the shop, not sure where this conversation was going, but her hopes were rising by the second.

“Would you be interested in working with me?”

“Yes,” Summer squeaked out, her throat dry and her heart pumping.

“I’m glad to hear that.” Marissa gave a warm laugh. “You probably know that we’re located in Hudson, Ohio. I don’t expect you to relocate; I understand you can design from anywhere, and we can make that work.”

“Thanks,” Summer breathed out. Holy cow, this really was a dream come true.

“Could you fly in next week and fill out the paperwork, share your designs with us, and get to know my team? From there we can figure out how often we’d need you to come in and set up a schedule with production.”

“Sure.” Summer glanced around the home décor store almost in shock. She’d just been offered the perfect job.

“Where are you located currently?”

“Crested Butte, Colorado.”

“Can you text your email and location to me at this number and we’ll set up the flights and hotels? Would Monday through Wednesday of next week work with your schedule?”

“Yes.” Summer realized she’d given pretty much one-word answers throughout this conversation. Luckily Marissa didn’t seem put off by it. Toy designers could be a socially reclusive lot, but Summer was excited to meet this woman in person and show her she did have some conversational skills. “Thank you for this opportunity,” she said.

“We’re excited,” Marissa said.
