From Afar
With that Jackie proceeds to move into her talk where she highlights the little encounters and the role that networking has played in her life whether it was being introduced to her husband or the great opportunities she has received throughout her career. She talks about the personal rewards that these encounter give and how given the chance how you can become the person who introduces these threads.
Tina is fascinated with this woman. As Jackie talked about her background, sharing all aspects of her life, Tina felt a bonding with Jackie. What an awesome woman, Bette must have met her at Yale. I bet they really are good friends from the past and Bette just had never mentioned her. I wonder what this new foundation is about. I bet she is a wonderful person to work with. It sounds like she is such a positive influence.
Alice on the other hand hears a much different talk. Who is this woman? I still cant believe the husband thing I bet they are divorced. I mean she hasnt talked about any kids has she? What is that foundation and what does Bette have to do with it? I mean I bet it was Bette who let her know about the opportunity. After all Bette surely could talk anyone into moving from NYC to LA. God who wouldnt want to move from NYC to LA is this lady cracked?
As the talk comes to a conclusion Jackie receives a loud, appreciative applause. Smiling a genuine smile of relief that the talk is done Jackie makes her way down off the podium as the President steps up and invites everyone to lunch being served across the way. Gathering up her notes and placing them in her bag, Jackie is approached by many women wanting to introduce themselves. Finally with all the hands shook and introductions made, Jackie made her way to lunch. She and Grace had made previous arrangements that Grace would save Jackie a seat so they could eat lunch together and catch up on old times. Scanning the room, Jackie sees Grace waving to her from across the room.

So good…
I like how you wrote the difference in view of the meeting by Alice and Tina. I’ve always thought Tina knew Bette more than Alice, but looks like Alice may know another side of Bette that Tina may not or don’t want to know of.
I agree with angelak, I hope Tina does not get upset at Bette for ‘controlling’ the situation.
Can’t wait to see how you play this out.
Thanks for this chapter….and will it be wistful thinking that I’ll get to read another after my work day?
Love this story…Thanks!
I like the two different point’s of view in this chapter, Alice’s suspsion is funny and realistic, as well as Tina’s enthusiasm. Great storytelling.
May I say, it is a wonderful web you are weaving.
I hope Tina doesn’t see it as a trap by Bette’s web
Hehe… Tina has no idea!!! She falls right into the trap!!! I love it!
Tina has bitten the bait, i like.

you have to give Bette credit — she knows Tina and what would bring her joy — loving this story — thanks
Thanks for the Jackie and Grace characters….genuine people….caring and helping with no hidden agendas….right there with (and for) Tina…GREAT! It’s all about the people who grace your life! Poor Alice….will she ever get it???
I am so intrigued by this plot…I so hope that Tina doesn’t find out that Bette is behind this since she’ll probably misconstrue it as a form of controlling behavior. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
