THE L WING
CHAPTER 317
Narration of President Bette Kennard Porter
“What time are you seeing Alice ?” Tina asks me as we walk down to the west wing together. I shrug “Just after Senior Staff – I can think of things I would rather be doing instead”
“It’s the right thing to do “
“I know that – its just going to be weird to lose both of them. “
“Its not as if you are firing both of them –Shane has never officially been back – technically she is still on the sick – and Alice hasn’t been on the ball for months “
“Yeah – I know that Tina – its just not going to be fun “
“You could have left it to CJ but you are doing this yourself –that says a lot about you “
“Yeah – that I am crazy “ I reply
We reach the door to James office and she grins at me
“You can have cookies once its done “
“I will need more than cookies – I might need candy and jelly beans “
“You can have some but no spoiling your appetite – anyway – you know where I am “
“I am supposed to be a big girl now “
“Your secret is safe with me “
Tina kisses me on the cheek “Its going to be okay” she whispers.
“Good luck on your first day back as well “
“I will be fine – I am sure that my inbox is over flowing. I will start scaling my schedule back – I can do that without a Chief of Staff “
“You should talk to Kit informally about what she would see as the best things to concentrate your energies on “
“Its going to take some getting used to – don’t worry Bette – I will be fine. See you for lunch at 1o’clock okay ?”
“Yes”
Tina squeezes my hand before she heads off to her office and I sigh and head into the Oval.
++
The Senior Staff meeting is blessedly brief – CJ has done well to coral the staff into not weighing the meeting down with trivia and in fighting with me as the umpire. So we do talk about important stuff more than we ever did before and for that I am very grateful. Finally everyone shuffles out and Alice is left sitting with her huge overstuffed A4 notebook on her lap. I get up and sit facing Alice.

Wow,interesting news.I`m glad that Alice is lucky.Thank you for the update.Amazing story.PPS
Very nice turn of events – didn´t see that one coming.
DRama Mama. You always have a great twist.
Wow Alice kept a secret! Loved it
OMG! I never expected this. How could you end like this? I wanted to see Bette’s face when she heard Alice’s news.
First Lady Tina is going to fry that mistletoe when she hears Alice’s news. Can’t wait for that explosion. Poor Shane has worn out her welcome after 317 episodes. Wow, I can’t believe that I almost didn’t read this story when you first posted. Boy, was I wrong.Please continue to post, Miss Ally. Cheerio, Mr. Rocky.
Oh shit!.Lucy and Alice are back toget…And after, they will….Get married!!…Wtf?… ….But sure is not the same if she’s not in the White House.. ..thanks Ally for the post.
Well, well, well, never saw that one coming and it will be a great surprise to Tina as well as the rest of the family. Damn, you really do remain the Queen of Drama AllyE. Really do think Alice is right about Shane, this coming from CJ might be better than from Bette and I also understand why Bette wants to do this herself. Scatterbrain is right, let CJ do it. Can hardly wait for another chapter to see what happens next. Wonderful update. Thanks.
Amazing update! I wonder what the First Lady´s reaction is gonna be like after hearing some news! :)
Wow that was something I didn’t expect. Great update. thank you.
317th chapter?! WOW. This White House tale seems to have a lot of mileage left. Btw, nice surprises from Alice. Hope all is well with you, ally. Thanks! =)
Wow Ally! Always have a trick or two for a good surprise eh?! ;-) I thought Alice will not take it that easy! But who am I to think that?! :-p lol… So looking forward to what happen next :-) thanks Ally for the update and have a great weekend!! :-)
