“Oh count on it…” Bette said with mischievous green. Then a noise in the background distracted them and Tina had to hang up. It was emergency, some of the new technical operators had blow up the equipment…

“Shit…babe I got to go, this idiots would blow up the whole building if there’s no one around them…” Tina said

“Sure…no problem I have to finish some work myself. See you tonight, right?” Bette said hopping that they could spend some time together this evening.

“I’ll try…bye babe…love you” With that Tina hanged up and Bette went back to her work.

“So…James, right?” Patsy asked looking at the young man…

“Yes madam…” James answered politely

“Oufh…would you stop calling me Mrs. Kennard or madam? My name’s Patsy…” She said taking off her glasses.

“Ok Mrs. I mean…Patsy…”

“Can I ask you a question?” Patsy said curiously

“Well…um…ok…”

“How long you know Ms. Porter?”

“You mean Bette?”

“Yes…”

“It was long time ago. I was first year in college when I had to go to this art presentation. She was there as a lector, and she was only 25 years old! After the lecture I heard that she’s looking of assistant and I got the job!”

“So…she’s an excellent professional…I got that, but I want to know what she’s like as person?”

“Why don’t you ask her…?” James said frowning…

“Because she’s seeing my daughter and is awkward for me to ask questions like that…”

“She’s my boss…I can lose my job…”

“I need some little detail, nothing too personal. I just want to know what kind of person she’s…”

“She’s generous and kind…” James said without second thought…”She’s a loyal and good friend, always there for you…And she loves your daughter more than anything…I can see it in her eyes every time she look at her. She made a major step acknowledge her feelings and accepting Tina and the babies, you have no idea how happy she’s.” James said smiling…”Well, she has her tantrums but who doesn’t…So if you ask me is your daughter making the right choice, I would say yes!”

“Thank you James!” Patsy said with light smile placed back her glasses…”What would you say about that picture…?”

James looked at the painting but had no idea what was this in front of him…

“I like the colors…the red one is very powerful!” He said sounding very convincing.

“Really?” Patsy said looking closely…James sighs and shook his head…

“Fuck…I have no idea what the hell’s that…he must had been on drugs or high when he’s painting this one…”

Patsy start to laughs out loud witch toweled the ice…”Let’s get back, Bette’s probably wondering where we are…”

Soon they were back, and Bette was just getting out of the office…

“Oh hey, how was the tour?”

“Very…educational…” Patsy said with chuckle. Bette immediately glared at James making him squirms…

“Are you ready with your job?” Patsy asked ready to go…

“Sure lest go, I’ll drop you off at Tina’s…”Bette said with smile…

“Um…well, I was thinking that we could have a drink just two of us…” Patsy said unsure how Bette would react. She catch her off guard, Bette wasn’t prepare for request like that. “Ok…let me call Tina and we’re ready to go…”   

“No, leave her to her duties, soon she’ll miss them….Show me some good place around, I really want to see the city…”

Bette smiled and guides her to the entrance. She turned back and mouths “I love you” to James who winked at her…
