”Eric I’ve already explained to you and the partners that this is a business decision. Your law firm doesn’t have the resources to meet the needs of our expanded company. Taylor and Bradford Law are much better suited and they already have an established account with Peabody Studios.”
“I know that Tina but they are putting pressure on me. They think I might have some influence because of our personal relationship.”
“Why would they think that?”
“I sort of told them that I would talk to you. Please come to the picnic and talk to them as a personal favor to me please Tina?”
“Absolutely not Eric. I can’t believe that you would even ask. I’ve always made it very clear to you and everyone else that Shaolin’s business with your law firm would never be influenced by my friendship with you. Nothing has changed Eric. The decision not to keep your firm on retainer was not a unilateral one on my part. We did an independent assessment of several law firms and T&B Law came up on top.”
“Tina our law firm is struggling. We were counting on taking on the expanded company. We can’t afford to lose such a large account as Shaolin-Peabody. I really need your help here babe. It could hurt my chances to get partner next year.”
“Eric this discussion is over. I will not attend the picnic. I will not have any further discussions or negotiations with any member of your law firm on this matter. If we have an opportunity to bring on another firm or additional lawyers in the future yours will certainly be considered but for now the decision is final.”
”So you are turning your back on me?”
“Eric I am not turning my back on you. I am sorry that this puts you in an awkward position but that is of your own making. I’ve never given you the slightest indication that I would ever let our friendship influence a business decision. I don’t know why you would infer to the law partners that it would.”
“I know you always said that Tina but I didn’t think that you actually meant it.”
“Why would I say it if I didn’t mean it?”
“I just figured you said it for other people’s benefit but this is just between you and me. No one has to know we even had this conversation. You can just come to the picnic and listen to what the partners have to say and then make up your mind.”

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!
