“Ah, yes, and I also wanted to extend my congratulations to you all there at Alphaville. The number one song in the nation is quite an amazing feat. You must be very proud of Third Wheel Crush.”
“Thank you, Joyce. We are very pleased with their success thus far.” Tina stated.
“We’re hoping that maybe this time next year, Alphaville can proudly say that the label’s own R&B sensation, Kit Porter is topping the charts with a few singles of her own.” Aaron proclaimed.
Joyce chuckled at his pathetic attempt to flatter while being presumptuous at the same time. “Very ambitious of you A.K. But let’s not put the cart before the horse, or it’s likely to get trampled.” As a formidable opponent both in and out of the courtroom, Joyce could easily recognize when she had the upper hand. Right now, she knew her clients had something Aaron wanted, and that was a clear indication of the power they wielded in these negotiations.
As the tense seconds ticked away, Joyce waited for the label’s executives to make the next utterance. Bette felt like she was studying verbal judo under the direction of Sensei Wischnia. She had to hand it to the woman, she was impressive in her element.
Tina quickly hit the mute button on the phone and looked up at Aaron. “Are you gonna let me handle this?” She asked, just above a whisper, but stern enough to get Aaron to back off. Returning to the call, Tina initiated the real reasons behind the conference. “Joyce, I’m assuming you received my offer?”
Smiling triumphantly that she did not have to relent to the momentary silence, Joyce responded in kind. “I did.”
“Your thoughts?” Tina coaxed.
“Non-existent.”
“May I ask why?” Tina was playing along despite knowing exactly what Joyce was doing.
“You may.”
Silence. Joyce winked at Bette from across the table.
This bitch is good, Bette thought as she smiled at the attorney. She couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for Tina, but their morning discussion had prepared her for the kind of face off that was more for show in front of Tina’s boss than anything else.
“Why are your thoughts non-existent, Joyce.” A fake sigh leaving Tina’s chest to feign exasperation for Aaron’s sake. Her hairless boss was becoming noticeably red-faced, impatient with the way the conversation was progressing. Dana looked over and noticed Aaron’s leg shaking as if he was an addict in need of his next fix.

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.
Awwwww poor chicken… Sorry about your bad …. 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! :-(
