happen overnight, because we’re already a sports marketer.
With the Titans and the Predators, we could work with the agents
and players for those teams,” Carter said.
    “Good,” Gavin said as he wrote on the ‘pro’
side.
    “From what I’ve seen in the country music
world, they’re one big family. Working with the musicians would
more than likely open up several opportunities for community
involvement, giving the company great exposure among the residents
there. We’d be helping the economy by adding job opportunities,
which would be a plus in all of the cities we’re exploring,” Faith
added.
    “Excellent,” Gavin said, adding another item
to the ‘pro’ side.
    “How come she got excellent
and I just got a ‘ good ’?” Carter asked kiddingly. They all laughed.
    “Well Carter, I don’t have any favorites -
”
    “Oh, that’s not true, you do
have a favorite.” Carter put him on the spot. ‘How are you going to get out of this one,’ he thought.
    “If I had to choose one or the other, I think
you know which one I’d choose. Sorry Carter, nothing against you.
Faith is just prettier,” he smiled as he looked back at them,
winking at Faith. They all laughed again, but this time Faith
started to turn a little rosy underneath her light brown skin.
Gavin noticed and thought she might be coming around, which would
be sooner than he’d expected.
    “Anything else?” Gavin said, continuing with
their discussion.
    “If our goal is to break into all areas of
entertainment, Nashville may not be the place for us. Their film
industry is very small. The music industry is limited to country
and Christian music, with a little jazz. We may want to consider a
location that will offer us access to all facets of the industry.
Nashville is not centrally located for us to do that. We’d probably
be travelling more often than not to get to our film industry
clients, and our clients connected to other genres of music,” said
Faith.
    “I’ll break this up then in the ‘con’
section. Not centrally located, small film industry, limited music
genres,” Gavin said as he wrote. “Okay, anymore?”
    They shook their heads no. Gavin looked back
at the white board, and said, “Alright. I’ll have Agnes type these
up and we’ll add them to our files. Good job you two. Since we’ve
managed to complete our discussions early, we won’t have to meet
this afternoon. Carter, that should give you a chance to get
started on your assignment.” He looked at Carter, who nodded in
agreement.
    “Great. Have a good afternoon.” He walked
over to his seat and began to unplug his laptop. Faith reached over
and turned off the monitor, unplugged it and returned the remote to
its storing place.
    Carter looked at Faith and said, “Hey, since
we’re done early, would you like to go grab some lunch?”
    “I brought my lunch today, but could use some
fresh air, so sure. I’ll eat what I brought tomorrow,” she said as
she continued to pack up.
    “Okay. I’ll swing by and pick you up in about
ten minutes.” Carter glanced at Gavin and smiled as he walked out
of the room. Gavin didn’t smile back, and wasn’t happy. He didn’t
know what Carter was up to, but he was going to get to the bottom
of it. First, he had to talk to Adrian.
     
    Gavin walked down the hall and into Adrian’s
office. As he passed and looked at Agnes, he pointed towards the
door. Agnes nodded her head, as if to say that Adrian is in. He
knocked and walked in at the same time.
    “Adrian.”
    Adrian turned and said, “Gavin. How did the
meeting go this morning?”
    “Faith is more than capable to do this job.
Like I told Carter, you’ve outdone yourself.”
    Adrian smiled and looked down in his lap, “I
was hoping that would happen.”
    “What do you mean? Tell me about her
background,” Gavin said as he sat down.
    Adrian was glad he was asking. Their plan
might be working. “Faith is so good at what she does because she
was in charge of public
