My Reality (20)
Shane’s doctorate’s degrees paid off. The company was more financially stable than it had ever been and Richard couldn’t be more pleased.
Shane had created an amazing system with all the secretaries. They weren’t just secretaries anymore and they actually lived up to their full potential. Of course her girlfriend, Carmen, was her assistant, and Alice took her boss’ old job pretty well considering she didn’t know the business as well as Helena did.
As for Helena, she begged for her job back which of course Richard refused. As a shareholder she did have a right for a job so she took up Carmen’s old post as a receptionist.
Jenny was still the publicist but now Carmen helped with her secretarial stuff since Dana had taken over the perverted Gomez’s job.
"Shane, I think our next lease will be a cause for celebration," Richard said happily, "we’ll announce our newfound independence."
"That means we gotta make this lease good," Shane said, "we have to go all out with this fashion show."
"I agree," Richard said sitting down across from Shane, "we have to hit the worldwide news."
"The question is how?" Shane said pensively.
"That’s what I came to talk to you about," Richard said, "remember last month when I found Tina on the streets drunk and almost dead."
Shane nodded solemnly, she did hate Tina for what she did to Bette but she didn’t want her dead. Evidently the blonde had gone so deep into drugs and alcohol she had blown her entire life savings and ended out living on the streets. Shane knew she lived with Jenny for a short period of time and that Helena had offered her apartment to Tina, but Tina had refused. She had found out two months ago that Richard found her in alleyway overdosed and nearly dead.
"She’s been in rehab ever since," Richard said, "she gave me an amazing idea yesterday."
"Her ideas got this company nearly bankrupt," Shane said with a scoff.
"Not this one," Richard said, "look I disowned her for three months and she nearly died. They had to pump her stomach Shane, I’m lucky she’s alive. I gave her a second chance and I’m hoping you will too."
"You want me to go along with her idea?" Shane said.
"I want you to allow her to be the project manager," Richard said.
Shane pursed her lips.
"Look you’ll be her boss, completely, you can fire her at anytime," Richard said, "and if it’s successful she’ll be satisfied with working in the mailroom, she’s not asking for anything more."
Shane sighed deeply, "fine, I’ll allow it for you."
"Great!" Richard exclaimed, "now the next order of business."
"There’s another order of business?" Shane chuckled.
"Who gets the presidency after EcoFashion after it reaches independence," Richard said.
"You of course," Shane said.
"I’m an old man Shane, I can’t just get out of retirement," Richard said, "I was hoping you would keep your spot."
"Me?" Shane said, "oh I appreciate it but I’ll be happy with the Vice Presidency post since Alice is going into journalism. I think the presidency should stay in the family, how about Daniel?"
"He took up the presidency of a company he owns stock in in Japan," Richard said, "he’s quite happy there. Besides I want someone who’s truly qualified for this job."
"Well," Shane said, "there’s only one person who can do this job even better than me."
Richard sat back a bit, "Bette."
Shane nodded.
"After what my daughter did to her she deserves this presidency and much more," Richard said, "unfortunately no one knows where she is."
"I do," Shane said.
"You think you can convince her to take the job?" Richard said.
Shane smiled, "I can."

Thanks, that does answer my questions. I have seen stuff like that happen to people and it is tragic and heartbreaking. Glad her father helped her and I believe she has learned her lesson from that very degrading experience. Boy will she be surprised when she sees Bette, hell, they all will be completely floored. Thanks.
I think Tina has learned her lesson long before, to late but before she fell so deep. And by the way, she treated both Bette and Shane with respect from the beginning. She made her mistakes driven by Helena, and her feelings for Bette came out to be real. So she had enough shit to deal with. Time for a littel luck and happyness again. Hope you upgrade soon. Thank you for this chapter.
Please,they has suffered enough,fix this.Thank you for the update.PPS
Tina’s not a bad person. Even in the beginning when she went along with Helena’s bullshit, she did it because she LIKED and eventually LOVED Bette. She just didn’t admit to herself or anyone else. I hope the “judgement and punishment” are done.
Kind of a heavy punishment if you ask me. I mean Tina didn’t break Bette’s heart. She loved Bette but never got the chance to show because of all the judgment. Shane is no different from the people who called her ugly and she tried and succeeded in fitting in. Tina, although started off with bad intentions, never carried them out. The way I see it Bette should’ve spoken to Tina and gotten the truth but she chose to believe Helena’s letter, therefore they shouldn’t be together. We, the audience, know Tina’s heart and it sucks to see her being dragged through the mud and Bette made to look like the martyr over a misunderstanding. I’m against their union here. I hope Tina makes through rehab and finds a nice person to settle down with and move on. On that note, I’ll stop reading from here. Thanks!!!
The trouble with Tina before, she had no “Back bones”..Yes she loved Bette. But was she brave enough to say it? ..Did she fight for Bette when Helena made that letter?…No…sad to say she allowed it…Hope with all the crap she’d been through ..She learned her “Lesson”.. ..Think before you listen. thanks for this Tibetter24.
Thats good and hope Bette come back soon and cant wait to see Bette and Tina see each other again. Please post more, more, thanks!
and finally bette will come back to l.a to which I’m grateful i can’t believe tina was on the streets that to me seemed to scream out to me it seemed complete and utter madness but i suppose love makes us all crazy in the end lol.
:) uh… Loved this, can’t wait for bettes’ return, hope bette gets back with tina, tina’s been through a lot. & uh… i Should’nt have complained bout how short the last ch was, i just love this story so much and was kinda sad it had to end where it did. But it’s ok though, u can make it any length u want, as long as u keep posting :) awesome chp. P.p.s
I also think that Tina’s punishment was OVERBOARD. Why, becuse at the core she had truly a good heart. Like foreighner63 said, she treated both Bette and Shane with respect from the beginning. Helena was the true villian and really did not pay or suffer for what she had done. I hope that Dana can get both Shane and Bette to see how they made a mistake in mis judging Tina’s love. Tina has already paid the bigger price for yealing to pier preasure and going along with Helena. She DID hit Helena and fight Dembo for what they said about Bette. She was willing to take the punishment for her transgressions and not take the easy way out like Helena did begging for her job back. Although she almost died, she didn’t lean on her daddy or his money to cushion her fall and deserves to be happy with Bette. She also due some appologies. PPS
Great update. thank you.
Oops wasn’t done there lol. Anyways, sometimes the person who does the worst end of the crime ends up getting the better end of the punishment .. Sometimes even no punishment at all. Its sad but I think Tina has suffered long enough .. she needs Bette to kiss it all better lol. Love this story as always. Keep it up girl ! :]
I love when I let chapters build up so I can read more than one at once lol. Amazing updates, can’t wait for more. My heart breaks for Tina and though I have to agree, it sucks how it seems that she’s the only one who’s getting punished and rather harshly .. at the same time, that’s just the unfairness of life. Sometimes people who do the worst end of the crime
