“This work belongs to me.” Tina protested, “And don’t look at me that way. You know fine rightly what I mean.”
“No.” Bette continued sweetly, “I have no recollection of a contract…”
“I never thought you would keep my work!”
“Your father will be disappointed. But we have all but exhausted every avenue with you. You do not want to accept my offer or the very hefty pay packet which comes with it. You do not need anyone’s help even though, this project could open countless doors for you.oh… I forgot to mention, didn’t I? My name is quite well known in financial circles… imagine the contacts you could have made. But you made your choice, let’s go and inform your father, shall we?”
Bette stood, resolute waiting for Tina to get up in turn.
“Absolutely.” Tina concurred, “I want to do it on my own terms.”
“So, you’d starve before you’d accept any offer of help.”
“Yes, especially if you are the one doing the offering.”
“Do I need to remind you that I am the one who asked for your help in the first place not the opposite?”
“And I… do not want to help you.”
Seeing that the blonde had no intention of getting up to follow her out of the room, Bette nodded a silent ‘very well’ and slowly headed for the door.
Instantly, Tina felt the weight of failure crush her on the spot. Her pride had got the better of her and had nullified the best chance she’d had to date to make a worthwhile name for herself.
Bette was also about to see disappear from the room the only chance she’d have to spend any time with the woman she was so madly in love with.
“If I say yes, to your offer, it will only be because you are threatening to give my work to someone else.
Bette halted her slow progression out of the room. She turned around, schooling her features to her best business like expression and took her seat back across from Tina.
“I will also no longer, “Tina continued, “Be the subject of any manipulations.”
“I have done no such thing.” Bette protested mildly.
Tina lifted her hand to halt any further discussion on the subject. Her humiliation had been real and still stung deep down but she had to admit at having learnt a lesson from Bette and her father’s so doing; one which had seen dramatic changes in her.

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
