Midnight
Bette shook her head even if Tina couldn’t see it. “I’d rather wait for you. Why did you have to go into the office on New Year’s Eve, anyway? Who does that?”
Tina laughed. “I had to, Bette. Something came up and I needed to make sure it got handled. The buck stops with me, and there was no one around that I trusted to fix it. Everyone else is on vacation.”
“Vacation! Imagine that.”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m on my way now. So what are you wearing?”
“The navy blue dress I got once we moved here.”
“Ooh, I like it. Is your hair up or down?”
“Up. I’m wearing the diamond earrings you gave me.”
“Mmhmm. Tell me more.”
Bette snickered. “I can’t believe you’re doing this in the back of a cab.”
“Why not? Traffic is horrible. I have to have something to entertain me.”
The doorbell rang. “T, I gotta go, the sitter is here.”
“Alright. I’ll call you once I’m on my way to the party.”
Bette frowned as she made her way to the front door. “Are you sure you want me to go without you? It’s not like Jonah is going to care if we’re a little late.”
“Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong. Punctuality is one of Jonah’s things. Trust me, he’ll appreciate you getting there on time, and I need to stay on his good side. Charm the pants off him ’til I can get there, okay? I won’t be too long. Love you, babe. Bye!”
Bette wasn’t convinced and was prepared to argue further, but Tina had hung up. Shaking her head, Bette opened the door and let Heather inside. She rattled off instructions, called Angie downstairs, and pointed out the numbers where Bette and Tina could be contacted. Bette ran back upstairs, grabbed her handbag and her coat, kissed Angie noisily on both cheeks and stepped out into the night. She hailed a cab and before she knew it she was riding up an elevator to Jonah’s penthouse.
She was welcomed inside by a stiff butler and was met immediately by Jonah and his wife. Bette made the appropriate apologies for Tina and said that she would be there shortly. Bette accepted a glass of champagne from a waiter and mingled with the company. She made a point of turning on her charm for Jonah and flattering him over the paintings he had hung throughout the penthouse.
