*3 Months Later*

"Fuck!" Tina yelled angrily, "fuck, fuck fuck! BETTE!"

Bette scampered out of her office and directly to Tina’s desk.

"We are supposed to meet a quota this month and we’re nowhere near it. Why is that?" Tina growled angrily.

"Ms. Kennard, I warned you ahead of time of the possible losses," Bette said gently, "I told you from the start that lowering the material more than agreed would be devastating. 50 cotton and 50 polyester is way to obvious."

"You think I don’t know that!" Tina said, "taking this risk was supposed help hit my goal!"

"This loss makes it impossible ma’am," Bette said.

Tina slapped her hands on the desk, "I have to report these numbers at the shareholders meeting and if they do, my dad will take me out of the presidency and put in that prick Daniel Schecter! I can’t allow that to happen so use that big brain of yours and fix this!"

Bette flinched as Tina’s voice got louder. Helena ran in at the moment, "Tina, calm down."

"Don’t fucking tell me to calm down Helena, it’s hard enough hiding these numbers from Gomez and Jenny, but I can’t hide them for long," Tina snapped.

"You won’t find a solution if you’re too pissed off to think and you’re scaring the shit out of the only person who can save our asses," Helena spat back.

Tina took in a shuddering breath then glanced at Bette, "I’m sorry."

"It’s okay Ms. Kennard," Bette said.

"No it’s not, this crisis is not your fault and I’m sorry for letting it out on you," Tina said.

"Good, now that that’s settled I have a plan that can not only save the business but make you hit the quota for this month and next before the shareholders meeting," Helena said.

Tina brightened up, "sit down and speak."

Helena sat in the chair beside Bette and Bette said, "sorry Ms. Peabody but I can’t think of any plan that does what you’ve described unless it was illegal."

Tina looked shocked, "is it illegal?"

"A little bit," Helena said, "but it’s worth the risk."

"Helena, this company has been standing strong for 75 years without any illegal activity," Tina said, "don’t you think we’ve done enough with masking the numbers?"
