«Hi, I’m Alice. That was my friend Bette, but she has someone in her life right now, but can I buy you a drink?»
Bette’s office at the CAC, two days after her trip to New York
Bette was going over some drawings when she heard a knock at the door. «Come in…»
The door opened and Franklin, her boss, stepped into her office. «Hi Franklin. I thought you had a reunion?»
«It’s been cancelled. How was New York ?»
«Not very exciting… The artist I wanted to see didn’t even show up for our meeting»
Franklin stood still, looking at Bette. «Are you all right ? You look tired, Bette»
«I’m fine, I just have a lot on my mind»
«Listen, I’m having dinner with my wife at Chez Robert tonight. Why don’t you join us ? Maybe it’ll do you good to go out. And there is a project I’d like to talk to you about and since I’m leaving tomorrow for a week, we could go over the basics tonight»
Bette needed to go out to dinner with her boss like a hole in the head, but she knew when to play it smart. «All right, thanks for the invitation. What time ?»
«We have a reservation for seven-thirty. I’ll see you then». He left and Bette threw her pen across the room. There was no use in trying to work, she couldn’t concentrate on anything else beside Tina. For the millionth times since she got back from New York, she thought about the blond woman. She had officially declared herself obsessed last night around midnight.
She walked to her window and pressed her forehead against the cool glass. «Where are you Tina ? Are you going through with the wedding or are you wondering about me ?». A single tear rolled down her cheek and she let herself slide to the floor. She put her head down and started sobbing, her feeling of loneliness too hard to bear…
At the restaurant
Bette arrived at Chez Robert at exactly seven-thirty. She was escorted to Franklin’s table which was way in the back. «Bette, good evening», Franklin said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Bette said hello to his wife who smiled warmly at her. «It’s so nice of you to join us Bette»
«Thanks, it was nice of Franklin to ask me». They ordered their drink and Bette was about to bring the subject of work when Franklin stood up. «Marilyn, look who’s here!», he said waving his hand at somebody. «Son, over here». Franklin turned to Bette. «Have you ever met my son, Joe?»
«Well, I’ve seen pictures of him in your office, but I’ve never had the pleasure», Bette replied. Joe came over and gave a big hug to his dad and a kiss to his mother. «Joe, I’d like you to meet Bette Porter. She works for me at the CAC».
«Nice to meet you Bette», he said, shaking her hand. «And where is your lovely wife-to-be ?», Franklin asked to his son.
«She went to the restroom, she’ll be here shortly»
«Why don’t the two of you join us ? Unless you want to be alone with your girlfriend…»
«No, dad, it’s fine, we would be happy to have dinner with yoy. Do you think we can have another table?»
Bette rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted was to sit with two lovebirds given her state of mind. She was about to tell Franklin she wasn’t feeling well when he spoke again. «Here she is…»
Bette looked up and found herself face to face with Tina. «Bette, I’d like you to meet my future daughter-in-law, Tina Kennard…»

OMG, what a great cliffhanger. Tina’s engaged to Franklin’s son. Poor Bette, maybe her and Tina can excuse themselves and go to the restroom after the meal. Who knows maybe Tina has been thinking about Bette as much as Bette has been thinking about her. I need another update quick.

Oh my freakin God! This isn’t good. Not good at all. Bette is in love with her boss’s son’s girlfriend. Oh boy! Can’t wait to see how this turns out. PPS!!
Woah. What a twist. Does this mean Bette will lose her job if she gets together with Tina? Hope Tina isn’t as cold to Bette as the last time.
OMG, I bet Bette never thought she would see Tina so soon. Now how does Bette keep her job while trying to woo Tina, I mean really she can’t stop thinking about the woman how can she go on without her. There is still enough time for another post tonight if you hurry.

Excellent. Now that was a great twist! Can’t wait to see how you solve this little dilemma.
Now this should be good drama with Bette getting involved with her bosses’ future daughter-in-law. Well at least she’ll stop his son from marrying the wrong woman.
Oh Hell, that is all Bette needs at this moment. She may as well resign the job right now because she will get Tina before its over and then she will be looking for a job. PPS
Holy shit, drama coming!
