Chapter Forty-One

“Give me a couple days darling.” Peggy says standing to her feet. “I’ll fly out to Manhattan to meet Mr. Larry Freemont to make my offer.”

“Is there anything I can do, Peggy?”

“You just wait patiently. I’ll let you if anything happens to show up.”

“Peggy you have no idea how much you have brighten my day.”

“Bette, darling. You have no idea how brighten you’ve made my day.”

I proceed my way to my car after just leaving through the door.

I hop inside and just sit there.

I stay seated for minutes now without any movement until I realize the sweat begin to roll down my cheek from the trapped heat inside the car. My mind is just so blown that I feel nothing but overwhelming joy.

…

Tina’s POV

“You have no idea how much this proposition means to me..”

“This is your decision Ms.Kennard.”

“Please. Call me, Tina.”

“This is your decision Tina but just know you are still welcomed back in New York, your work is so magnificent that it blows our whole company’s minds. You’ve managed to create and get producers and directors from around the country that we haven’t been able to even get. But if you want, you can stay here and work until your moving day, that’s if you are still moving. But whatever you choose the position is yours.”

“How long do I have to decide my final decision?”

“You can have a week. I’ll be looking forward to your call.”

“Thank you so much De Niro, this means such a great deal to me. I’ll be sure to give you my final decision when next Monday rolls around.”

I stand to my feet and hold my hand.
He then rises from his chair and smiles while taking my hand in his and shaking it.

“We’ll be talking soon.” He says as I watch him walk away.

I sit myself back down to take in the opportunity I was just even. My mind feels with questions. So many yet to be answered.

But at this moment I’m filled with excitement.

I pull out my phone and dial Bette’s number.

I wait through the rings until I hear her voice.

-“Hey, T.”

-“Bette, you’re never going to believe this.”
