Bette was outraged, why everyone at the CAC had kept it from her. Such crucial information, the appointment of a new temporary Marketing Manager, and she was only told today that the post had been filled…
She couldn’t believe Franklin had hired a Marketing Manager without her consent. The thoughts of the new recruit spiralling through her mind as her tempered breathing gave a clue to how worked up about the subject she really was.
“She is likely unqualified, uninspired and is probably his fucking niece”, muttered Bette…
She was now moments away from laying eyes on this woman…, this Tina Kennard…
The knock on the door brought Bette out of her caustic thoughts.
"Enter", she yelled grumpily.
"Oh, I’m sorry Bette,” said James cautiously, "I just brought your coffee in before your meeting!"
Bette sighed, “James…, how many times do I have to say this?” She ran her fingers through the thick curls, attempts to calm her rising anger not seeming to be working, in fact…, the opposite, every passing moment since entering the office since this morning the blood running through her veins had risen a notch on the thermometer, she was now at boiling point, and boiling point was not a good place for Bette Porter to be at…
James faltered in front of the desk, moving from one foot to the other, his nervous agitation getting the better of him, he knew all about the temper of his boss, he knew that the boiling point he was seeing right now would come down to a simmer, and he also knew that he was one of the lucky ones, the look that Bette gave him whenever that boiling bark came flying at him would always be followed by a look, and more often that not words to accompany the look, that said it was not pointed at him, he was her sounding board, he was the one she relied upon at work, he was her eyes and ears, they needed one another in this shark pit of a Centre.
"James…, please, you don’t have to apologise every time you come into my office, its OK…, I’m just still wound up after that fucking asshole Franklin hired the new recruit without consulting me!"

So far so good Jo… let’s see how it develops. PPS ;)
Yes, PPS! The old alpha Bette makes for great reading.
Wow! And So The Lady Slayer Gets Slayed ! Ha! Jo is Back! Yay! I want more. Keep going J :) Loving your beautiful and heartful stories. You slay me everytime! :) PPVS Thank you!
Tina slays the Slayer, yummy!! Like superdaddy said, welcome back and bring it on!
Yup, she’s back ! The Golden Goddess of Fanfiction is in da place ! Wecome back, Jo ! So glad to be able to read you again and to see that you’re truly back in “business”… I already love the direction you seem to be taking with this story ( I love the Bette and James “relationship” and I truy enjoyed the way your have cleverly introduced Tina. Besides, I looooove the fact that the way you describe Bette makes her seem like she’s a rockstar… A living legend… Because she is ! ). In fact, I know you’ll never disappoint us, this is going to be another “L” of a ride and I’m ever so thankful you’ve decided to share this new story with us. I can’t wait to read more. Please keep impressing and overwhelming us, Jo…
Pleasure to see that you’re back in full force, your early writing was already stylish. And any story starting with “Tina was the unassuming bombshell” is a keeper. Please keep going, I love it already.
Oh yes, this is fun. Please continue.Thanks
good? bad? indifferent?….i’d go with great. i know that wasn’t one of the options, but that’s how it is. it’s great. so PPS
wow…u r really back….
Hell u must be a mindreader…lol…it’s just u’ve used 2 words that have been frequently on my lips this past week…namely ‘caustic’ (where i come from we r known for our caustic mouths & 2day at work we called ourselves the ‘Caustic Gang’ because there’s a few of us from the same place) and that delicious word ‘fuckwits’ which I use unreservedly….ok now your story? of course, it will be marvellously addictive!!!! I await the next post as I write this. Thank you.
How could you think I wouldn’t be excited mate?? It’s all coming back to me now…ooo I can’t wait for the rest. So great to have you back, the site is definitely not the same without you…but remember that Remember When!! LOL…you know I’m not letting that one go :o)) This was a great beginning!
Anything with Bette and Tina is always good. So looking forward where…or more of how you are taking this journey.
Hello Jo, Thank you so much, once again for return to this site. Your wise and wonderful words have been missed. As for this beginning of the begininng, I was blown over as the indomitable Bette Porter was undone for the first time glance of one Miss Tina Kenndard. The set-up was perfect as Bette was prepared to wipe the floor with this new and untested manager. Then you turned the tables on her as she found herself instantly attacted to the vision before her. now it will be interesting to see Tina’s thought process on encounting the one and only Bette Porter. Please continue this story soon. I can’t wait to see how you progress. Will Tina be totally unaffected by Bette or will she hide it well? Only you know so please stop torturing me and post soon. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
I like ..this…I am intrigued. How will they EVER be in a work atmosphere with all the passion they have. I look forward to reading more. No bad or indifference here this is great!
well that was great. I wonder if Tina considers herself straight or bi? hmmm. this could be very interesting. please post soon.
uh…helloooooo…this is great and you must continue! I’m hooked already and can’t wait to see where this one goes with our girls. please continue!!! :)
Seems like the Slayer has to fit the town: Weho, Sunnyvale. Seems the slayer is about to be slain. Carry on, Jo.
WOH !!! Back from your glode trotting and hobnobbing with the stars !! another great start mate and its wonderful to see your amazing style back in force. get well soon pal – hugs A x
I SAY BRING IT ON!!!
wow! this better continue! :-)
You really do know how to write a scene!! Every word just pulls the reader in…begging for more…overwhelming the reader! Hmmmm sounds like the Fan Fic Slayer is back!! :)
The L word fan fiction site, also known as The fanfic world… A notorious place. And its notoriety was for many things, but its most notorious and best (and certainly hottest) commodity wasn’t a place, it was a person. Someone referred to as ‘The Reader Slayer’. To this day the origins of the name are unknown, its unknown who came up with this name…, but what was known was that the person lived up to the name and reputation to very highest standards… The name to strangers was often misinterpreted, was this entity a slayer of the brutal kind, never…, but the word itself caused minds to wonder; “slayer: someone who causes the death of a person or animal…”, “to slay: 1) to kill by violence; 2) TO STRONGLY IMPRESS OR OVERWHELM”. The latter…, every single time… For every fan who crossed the online path of the Reader Slayer they knew that they would experience a reading to remember… Jobadge never disappointed!!!
Hey Jo!! Gosh it is such a treat to read your stuff again! Glad that you’re back home and keeping us on the edge of our seats. I love this one…tension..everything! Keep it up Mate and hope all is well!
It’s good to see you back. And the start of this story seem to get interesting.pps
Love this so far. Can’t wait until the next one. Being the slayer doesn’t sound all that fun anymore.
Hahaha… looks like Seahurst had the same idea… Sorry about “borrowing” your words, but I thought you deserved that little… analogy! Welcome back, Jo, and sorry about the game. I didn’t watch the match, but was so disappointed to hear the results. Glad to have you back though…
As rhey all said, please keep this going! Great stuff, as always!
So Glad to see you Back!!!! Great start!!! Can not wait to read more. Thanks PPS
This is interesting and fun!
