“No.” Bette replied gathering the papers which still lay on the low table into a neat bundle.
“I don’t need your pity.” The blonde’s tone was uncompromising. “Today was tough but I’m sure I will make it.”
“I have no doubt… especially if you work for me.”
“I do not need your help.” Tina enunciated once again.
“Of course, you will have to make one or two changes.”
Tina eyes narrowed. Changes. She glared at Bette menancingly.
“Don’t look so offended,” Bette leafed through the ream of papers in her hands. “You will never find work, if every time your employer offers constructive criticism, you go off on one.”
“You are not my employer!”
“I have a few questions to ask you about your modifications and of course, you have not factored in enough room for the study.
“Why the need for a study when you have an office in the city.” Tina asked dryly.
Bette lifted her eyes to fix the unyielding blonde across from her.
“I intend to work a lot more from home and I will use my apartment in the city as a pied-à-terre on occasions. Another thing, you have not made plans for the swimming pool.”
Tina rolled her eyes. That woman was just being ridiculous. She did not want to work for Bette but she couldn’t help it and found herself defending her project again.
“You never mentioned a swimming pool.”
“Well… now I want one.” Bette decidedly replied. “An indoor swimming pool.”
“There is not enough room.”
“There is. In the basement. A spa area. Jacuzzi, fresco, columns, marble, massage room…”
Tina let the brunette ramble on for a few minutes but soon got a hold of herself when she felt her own thoughts divert towards the enchanting picture that Bette was painting.
“There is no need to discuss it anymore, I won’t accept your offer.” Tina interrupted unflappable.
“Fine.” Bette relented, slamming the file in her hand shut before stuffing it back inside her briefcase. “I hope, however, that you are ok with the fact that someone else will use your plans because, I like what you have done. It was exactly what I was looking for.”
“No way!” Tina exclaimed furiously.
Bette looked at her with a little smile and shrugged her shoulders. Her demeanour meant what it meant. She had no other choice.

Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn! Should make for some interesting dynamics as their “professional” relationship develops.
This story is getting really good. I love their obstinateness. Won’t take long for Cupid’s arrows to hit the mark. Well done per usual.
Great chapter! PPS
Famous last words, just professional
Eight pages leaving your readers, as usual, just wanting more!
Great writing of our two characters in this intriguing storyline.
Another chapter of these two being ‘professional’ soon please Kins. It is so good to have you back.
One of the best stories I’ve read on here lately. I enjoy the drawn out, push/pull relationship, hopefully leading to a climax (pun intended). Who needs to rush into a relationship, anyways! Keep up the good work!
Shit, my first comment got lost!
I totally agree with Freshe 13!
This was an interesting chapter. It was good to learn more about Bette background.
I admit but not exactly what I expected this chapter regarding.
but I’m still a big fan of this story and look forward to the next chapter.
Tsk Tsk Tsk somehow I believe Tina will be eating those strictly professional rules pretty soon….gosh this is good
Yet another great chapter, good on you! You have written these characters very well and that’s not an easy task. I would be pissed too if I was Tina, her father and Bette did go behind her back and I feel like Bette should at some point apologize for that. Pls post soon and feel free to post more than 8 pages!;)
Kins my dear friend you never fail to impress.
Eight pages of another great chapter..
Tina not wanting to agree with anything Bette offers her.
Backing down in her own way by putting their relationship on a professional footing.To me Bette
always seems to have the upper hand but in a subtle way.
Still no closer to knowing what Bette does as a profession.
Kins you always leave us wanting more.
Looking forward eagerly to your next chapter.PPS….C.xx
Tina believe you will not get
keep his promise, and work
only professional, not for BETTE
PORTER.
I love that story.
5 stars.
Oh what I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall with them during this step off of a “professional” relationship. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Looking forward to the “strictly professional ” relationship!
Great job Kins! I love this story!!! Keep it coming please!
What happens next? Next chapter please… Bette arrogance can be quite amusing but I hope it melts away. The sarcasm in her can be quite hurtful to someone who genuinely likes her…Hope Tina feels less cheated after a while. It’s awful to feel like a fool. First eric(Eric is such a bastard) and now Bette not being fully honest from the start. It’s hard to trust people after a while. Can’t wait to read how Tina shapes up in this story
continue please
Almost 2 whole months since this post Kins.
Have mercy on us all and please post the next chapter of this great story.
So want to see Tinna and the relationship evolve.
Love it
