“The power of the princess, Dana? Is that some sort of lesbianic code for something?”
“Shut up! I’m just sayin’, Bette will no doubt be expecting you to be the first one of you guys to make some grand declaration of love.”
Before Tina could respond, her office door flew open only to shut and lock immediately as Aaron rushed in. Staring at him in disbelief, Dana was physically pulled to sit back down in her seat as he took the seat right beside her once he let her arm go.
Both women looked at him with brows contorted in surprise and confusion.
“What are you waiting for, Kennard? Pick up the line.”
——-
Bette grinned like an idiot as soon as she heard the familiar voice picking up the line.
“Joyce, Tina Kennard, how are you?”
“Wonderful, my dear. Just wonderful.”
“Good to hear. Joyce, before we get started, you should know Aaron Kornbluth, Alphaville’s General Manager is also sitting here with me, as is Dana Fairbanks, our label’s Public Relations Administrator.”
“Hey Joyce, how’s it hangin’?” Aaron greeted.
“Bigger, better, and longer than yours I’m sure.” Joyce responded with a sardonic laugh.
“Hi Joyce!” Dana called out, leaning toward the speakerphone in the middle of Tina’s desk.
“Ms. Fairbanks, always a pleasure to hear your lovely voice.” Joyce said with sincerity and a smile. Even from across town, the attorney knew the PR rep was blushing. “On my end, I have here with me the gorgeous and talented Kit Porter, say hello, darlin.’” Joyce coaxed Kit with a wink and a smile.
“He-hello there.” Kit said as she leaned a bit over the table and spoke into the phone.
“And in no particular order, we have the equally talented Stouts here. Shane McCutcheon, Alice Pieszecki, Angus Partridge, Carmen de la Pica Morales, and Tayo…just Tayo?” Joyce asked the bass player in a low whisper. Tayo nodded her head. “And Tayo, the bass player. We also have in our presence, the band’s very able-bodied manager, the stunning, Ms. Bette Porter.”
“Good morning, everyone.” Bette greeted with a smile that could be heard through the phone making Tina beam.
“Good morning.” The three Alphaville employees said at the same time. Aaron caught Tina’s eye, and mouthed ‘manager?’ His silent query and questioning gaze prompted a slight shoulder shrug and head tilt from his best A&R rep.

Would “oops” be the right word?
Ouch.Poor Tina,Aaron will get nuts.Great update as always,thank you.PPS
Oh Boy, that was not not the drama I was expecting. How could Bette let that happen, she is usually a constant professional. I hope she has a job for Tina because she just lost her’s, if the band does not sign with Aron. And yes your story truly does entertain me, and I hope that your Tuesday will be better than your Monday. Waiting for the next chapter.PPS-ASAP!!!
Oh my, what a horrendous faux pas. Tina can and should disavow any knowledge of what the hell Bette said and never admit any involvement with Bette in any way whatsoever. They can always say that Bette must have been talking with someone in the room with her. Aaron can not prove anything. Hope she gets away with it. Thanks for the post.

Oh wow, that was so good.
That was the biggest whoops I’ve ever read OMG you had me dying. If we shared the winnings then you’d still have to work and there won’t be FF. Which would defeat the purpose, so I’ll take the FF. Money can’t buy the talent for writing that you have (and the other amazing writers on this site). Or maybe it can in CA thanks for the awesome update.

Looks like Tina is headed in the same direction… Aaron is about to unleash a full scale Spanish inquisition and it ain’t going to be any more pleasant for Tina as it was for the.poor unsuspecting critters back then… Amazing chapter as usual, hoping that bad days aren’t what makes you post quicker as I would hate to wish more of those for you! and b/day dates and anniversaries aren’t cliché! :-(
