“My water gun wasn’t working right.”
“Tina you tried six different water guns.”
“Well they were all broken. Yours was the only one that worked and you wouldn’t even let me try it.”
“I had a winner. I wasn’t about to give it up. Besides I let you keep all the prizes.”
“Yeah you did. That was sweet of you.”
“I was hoping it would help to forget your bad morning.”
“It did.”
“So you want to tell me what happened? Did you get some backlash from your staff about the changes?”
“No everyone is on board. They all agreed it was a long time coming and are willing to do what’s needed. I have meetings scheduled with them later in the week to iron out some details but overall the reception was good.”
“So what was it that upset you? You put on a good face but it was obvious that you were upset about something when I walked into your office.”
“I was. Eric came to see me this morning at the office. He left just before you arrived.”
“Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry into your personal business Tina.”
“No it’s fine. He actually came by to talk about business but it sort of escalated out of control. Our board of directors and the executive team decided to keep the Peabody Studios law firm to represent the merged company; which means that Eric’s firm lost one of their biggest accounts. We made the decision solely on the merit of each company and they came up short. He came by this morning to invite me to their company’s Fourth of July picnic but it was all a guise to get me in front of the partners.
He led them to believe that he could use our friendship and personal relationship to influence my business decision. When I flatly refused to even entertain the idea it got personal. He’d crossed a line and I just couldn’t see myself being with him anymore. I always thought that we would remain friends even if we didn’t have a romantic involvement but I didn’t like the side of him that came out this morning. He was being petty and manipulative. I not only stood my ground on the decision to no longer use his firm, I broke up with him. Needless to say he didn’t take it very well. I thought maybe we both needed time to cool off but the more I think about it the less I want to work it out. It’s over for me. I just don’t want to see him anymore.” “I’m sorry you had to go through that Tina but maybe it’s for the best that you saw this side of him before you got too deeply involved.” “I would never have gotten deeply involved Bette. Eric wasn’t it for me. I told you what happened in our relationship. I should have ended it when I told him I didn’t want to marry him. I don’t even know why I stayed with him for so long. I care about him but I could never fall in love with him. There was no future for us. Maybe Valerie was right.”

At last!! Look forward to the Dinner – please don’t be cruel to us Tibetters!
Great update!
Hey BAT, Sorry for not commenting all the time, sometimes I’m just catching you as I can at work and I have to return. I liked that Valerie gave Tina what for in the last chapter and laid out the reality of what Tina’s been doing to all of them. Life is always interesting when the perceptions come from different sources. What Tina thought was so different from the reality of what she was truly doing and then she had the gall to get down on everybody else for what she had actually caused.
It was a blessing that she was able to set Eric straight on their relationship as well. Again, two different perceptions of the same relationship. He really didn’t pay attention to his conversations with Tina as his ego got in the way. So happy that she blasted him good!
Also happy that she’s getting to know Bette better and even though they are in different places in their lives in what they want, becoming friends is a good place to start if Tina ever decides that Bette is the woman for her. I’m glad that you wrote it in that way as sometimes when we meet important people and it doesn’t work out, it may be that it’s just the wrong time for them.
So enjoying the story and the pace you are sharing it with us. Kudos to you! Thank you!
Thank you for another great chapter ! Keep going..
Pps
I am really happy that you solved the dilemma of Eric. Good for Tina relegating duties to others. She’s stripping herself of emotional and physical clutter. Streamlining her life to hone in on the more important aspects of her life. She needs to feed those parts of her life that bring her joy, peace and satisfaction. nAdopt more of a Zen philosophy.
this is what I’ve been waiting for Tina broke up the boring ass Eric. :D
I’m so glad that she really begins to sort out the important things in his life, and he was one that can go in the bin.
It was a wonderful afternoon together. loved it!
I hope they’re getting closer to each other!
