As Bette was going through her thoughts with Oscar, he becomes excited and enthused but before he let his enthusiasm get the better of him he had one question for Bette. Why Bette, whats in it for you?
Bette smiled at this question. She actually had expected it earlier and was surprised he had let her finish her thoughts before he asked. Oscar I believe the CAC is one of the few institutions in the LA area which is in the unique position to gain just as much from collaboration with the Center as the Center will. This collaboration will grab major headline space as a feel good endeavor. Corporations today are looking for that feel good next to their names. The CAC will benefit just as much in the way of donations and corporate sponsorship of a different nature from such collaboration. It makes sense for both organizations.
At that Bette pauses to gauge Oscars reaction. This was an explanation that she would need to sell to her board if Oscar was convinced and in reality she was trying it out on Oscar to see if it floated. Bette could actually see the wheels turning as Oscar considered the idea. She knew the very moment that he agreed by the look on his face. Feeling good that it was a doable thing. Bette waited for Oscar to formulate his opinions. He would be crucial to the execution of this project.
Well I have to tell you Bette youve really surprised me today. I think we know each other well enough to say that when I heard you were coming today I didnt really think there was much merit to your basic idea but now hearing it from you in more detail I am really intrigued. What will you need from the Center to move forward and what staffing will you want to interact with?
Bette had to repress a smile at this last question. It was Oscars stealth attempt to see the validity of Bettes endeavor here. Oscar I would like to work with whomever you see fit. It doesnt have to be someone of any weight as far as reputation. I was planning on having James from the CAC be the point person with his feet on the ground making the day in day out decisions and I was planning on personally contacting and schmoozing the corporate leaders in the area. I already have set up appointments over the next two weeks with the citys top ten corporate leaders. All I need is your commitment and ideas for the vision and the approval of my board at the CAC. I really dont think the board will be a problem, I wanted to have you on board before I went to them. Would you like to join me at the board meeting? She offers now to Oscar.
This offer surprised Oscar again, Bette I would be honored. Let me get with a few of my staff and bounce around the table some ideas. Whens the board meeting? Oscar now asks as he is has now apparently jumped into this project opportunity with both feet.
Next Wednesday evening. Bette replies simply.
Great we have our staff meeting tomorrow and I will bring this up as part of the agenda and kick it around that will give me time to get a volunteer to work with you. I will try to have my ideas down on paper and emailed to you by . I dont know would Friday evening give you enough time for Wednesday? Oscar now if processing the logistics of the timing.
Yep, that would be good. Bette says as she starts to get up. Moving towards Oscar, Bette extends her hand to shake. Oscar takes her hand. Thanks for seeing me today Oscar, I hope we can make this happen. It would be not only good for both of us but fun too. Oscar looks at Bettes hand he is shaking and back up to Bette.
You know I have been told that youve changed. I didnt believe it but if what you are saying today is on the up and up, Im so happy for you Bette. You will be much happier. Stopping there Oscar didnt want to say too much.
Not knowing how to reply Bette just said Thanks I think. Turning she left Oscars office and walked down the hall towards Tinas. Popping her head into the door, Tina just looked swamped. As she looked up Bette could read the No I cant before she ever asked.
Well, Tina you look swamped well just take a rain check on that coffee Bette says as she sees Tina agree. With that Bette just walks out of the Center.

Great job…..since we didn’t get too much of Bette and Tina tonight, do we get a bonus chapter today? Pretty please?
Ooh the plan is put to furhter action. Really nice. Am I the first to comment? I hope so. Getting up at before the crack of dawn probably helps. More please.
Nice building chapter…Bette moves forward, forging an unexpected path. I’m also feeling a bit cheated on my BnTness – but this is more from last night’s episode than from your story; the fic just makes a good supplement. Well done.

Good to see that the plan is starting to come together although Tina is still the master of her on destiny and that Bette is modifying some of her bad behaviours thus growing as a person.
