Eric had talked about Tina often to Bette, and she knew that he was absolutely smitten with her…
"That makes two of us…" Bette thought, resting her chin inside her palm.
"Ms. Porter?"
The unsure voice of Bette’s assistant, Marcus, interrupted her thoughts.
"Yes, Marcus. What is it?" Bette asked quickly, brushing a stray curl from her brow.
"The invitations…for the artist dinner…next Friday? They probably need to be sent out soon…tomorrow at the latest…" Marcus began, shuffling through Bette’s printed schedule of events.
Bette let out a puff of air. "You’re right…fine. I’ll have that list to you by the end of the day."
Marcus remained in the doorway, lingering uncomfortably.
"Is there anything else, Marcus?" Bette raised her eyebrows in question.
"No, no. It’s just…I’ve received several calls today, regarding the Malachi Stein exhibit scheduled for next month…" Marcus’ face was painted with genuine concern.
"Yes…and? Why didn’t you direct them to me?" Bette lowered her voice into a deadly calm tone.
"I didn’t want to alarm you…" Marcus quipped.
"Alarm me? Why on Earth would you alarm me, Marcus?" Bette’s intonation growing anxious.
"Because they’re threatening retalliation if you agree to exhibit the work…they’re claiming it’s a defamation to…"
Bette cut Marcus off abruptly.
"They? Who exactly is they, Marcus…? Listen, I don’t give a fuck who calls, you put them through directly to me…to me." Bette raised her hands in utter exasperation. "Jesus…I cannot fucking believe this is happening…fucking ignorant savages…"Bette’s words trailed off as her arms continued to express her frustration.
Bette could feel how uncomfortable Marcus was becoming. She tried to calm herself down before attempting to speak once again.
"I’m sorry Marcus…I’m certainly not intending to take this out on you. It just…infuriates me that some people in this world position themselves on this moral plateau, looking down on society, casting more hate and ignorance…" Bette could feel herself becoming enraged once again, and abadoned her tirade.
"Anyway, Marcus, I do apologize…Just please let me know if anything else happens." Bette exhaled deeply, releasing her stress in the breath.
"I will, Ms. Porter."
Marcus nodded dutifully and round the corner to his desk.
"This is just too fucking much…" Bette murmurred, tossing her head back to the ceiling.
Not two seconds later, Bette heard the voice of her assistant once again.
