Before Tina knew it Monday was upon her. She hadn’t heard much from Gillian all weekend so she knew she must be having a good time. She knew that if she wasn’t Gillian would be calling begging to come home.

"Good Morning Ciel." Tina said as she walked past her assistant.

"Good Morning Tina. There were several messages for you. I put them on your desk." Ciel said.

"Thank you. Oh will you get me the phone number of a florist please." Tina said.

"Yes." Ciel said flipping through her rolodex. Tina walked in and sat down. She went through her messages deeming none of them important enough to call back right at the moment.

"Here is the number you wanted. Can I get you some coffee or tea?" She asked.

"Tea would be great." Tina said. Ciel walked out of the room. Tina looked at the number and picked up the phone.

"Tina there is a Bette Porter on line one." Ciel said over the intercom.

"Thank you I’ll take it." Tina said. She picked up the hand set.

"Hello." Tina said with a smile.

"It’s Bette." She said.

"Hello Bette." Tina said.

"I wanted to call and thank you for the flowers." Bette said.

"You’re welcome. Do you like them?" Tina said.

"I do very much." Bette said.

"I’m glad you do." Tina said.

"We’re still on for tonight aren’t we?" Bette asked. She was used to being chased.

"Absolutely. I can’t wait to see the knew pieces." Tina said.

"I am sure you will like them. They can be a bit provocative." Bette said.

"Tina the Partners are here." Ciel said in the doorway.

"Bette I hate to cut you off but I have a meeting that I can’t get out of or I would." Tina said.

"I understand completely. Their are some potential buyers I should be attending to. I’ll see you tonight then." Bette said.

"See you then. Bye." Tina said. She hated more than anything to get off the phone with Bette. She couldn’t put her finger on it but their was something about Bette that made Tina react in ways she had never before.
