The rest of the week had gone by a lot better. Tina didn’t have any more breakdowns at work, and Bette’s stress level was down. They had vowed to be intimate with each other more often than they had been. Whether they made love or shared a nice bath together, they wanted to maintain their connection as each other’s stress reliever.

Tina went back to work with a new passion and had begun her work on a new movie. She was executive producing a new film by Martin Scorsese, which would rake in millions in revenue. Tina was excited and Helena was pleased that having Tina on her team was going to bring her the success she had hoped for as an independent Peabody. Since Tina was personally asked by Scorsese himself, she was signed into an eight month shooting and editing process, leaving her to rely a lot on her assistant, Max.

“Max, can you please call Sandra about the scripts for round table sit down and I don’t care if she’s on vacation, she should have had these in my office two weeks ago. Also book a lunch with me and all the other producers, associate producers and their assistants, we need to go over what’s going to happen over these next few months. I know Mr. Scorsese very well and he runs a pretty tight ship.”

“No problem Tina, do you need anything else?”

“No thanks Max,” she said and he turned and left.

“I am glad to see the ruthless Tina Kennard has made her way into the building,” she heard as Helena sauntered into her office.

“Ruthless? I’m not ruthless; I just don’t take any shit. Martin Scorsese asked specifically for me, I am not gonna let him or you down.”

“Tina, you are going to launch me and this company into success. I am ever so grateful you decided to work for me, it is a great honor and pleasure.”

“Well thanks Helena, I appreciate it.”

“Tina,” she heard as Max popped his head in.

“Yes Max, what’s up?”

“I really hate to tell you this because I know you’re under a lot of stress already but the lead hair stylist for the Scorsese picture just quit.”
