“What Helena and Jodie did was truly unacceptable. Don’t worry Bette will take care of Ms. Lerner, we’ll make sure that she’ll get what she deserves by participating in this disturbing act but as for Ms. Helena Peabody it’s only her mother, Mrs. Peabody’s decision if she should stay in the firm or not” Frank said

“Bette you don’t have to worry about Helena, I’ll take care of her and rest assured that she will not disturb you or Tina anymore and please accept my apology for what my daughter did to you and Tina”

“Peggy you don’t have to apologize, it wasn’t you fault”

“She’s my daughter and I feel somehow responsible for what she did”

“Just knowing that she won’t be wreaking havoc anymore in our lives would be good enough”

“Then I’ll make sure to put her in her right place”

Chapter 35

“You’ve got some explanations to do Tee…”

Bette and Tina just had their dinner in a posh restaurant with Peggy and were now lounging by the brunette’s pool. The meeting that they had earlier in the afternoon at the office was something unexpected. Before talking to the big bosses, Bette and Tina had decided to leave the firm and start their careers elsewhere. That same morning, the blonde received an email from Dean Rivers, Tina’s college classmate and who’s currently working at the US Attorney’s office telling her that his boss Ross Mulcahy was interested in her joining his team and she was advised to call his office to schedule for an interview asap.

Bette on the other hand was thinking about taking a vacation for the mean time while still weighing her options. Over the years, she had received several lucrative offers from major law firms two of which based in Los Angeles, 1 in Chicago and another 1 in New York. She was also thinking of starting her law firm but the chances were minimal as of the moment and if she was going to take one of those offers from the major law firms, location would play a big factor in making her decision. Her relationship with Tina was getting really good, she was now thinking of taking it to a more serious level, and so having a long distance relationship was out of the equation.
