“I’m trying to appease an artist so she’ll sign with us, what the hell do you think I’m doing, Tina?”
“You do know that’s my job, right? I allowed you to sit in on this call to observe, not to usurp my authority by staging a full fledged mutiny!”
“I’m well aware of your position and its job description, Kennard, but my authority as General Manager is to ensure appropriate business decisions are made to advance the best interest of the label. In this economic climate, it would be corporate suicide to let an established household act like Porter be romanced by a competitor.”
“That’s such horseshit, Aaron, and you know it! You’ve been more concerned about what’s in the best interest of your raging boner as opposed to this label. How many General Managers of major record labels do you know who are spending their lunch hours slipping dollar bills into the g-string of some damaged young girl who claims she’s working her way through college?”
“What I do on my own time has nothing to do with you, my job, or the label! Tread lightly, Kennard, because I’m trying to help you out here.”
“Are you? Thanks, Aaron, but I think I can do without your help. I have for the last three years.”
“You better hope they aren’t in talks with another label.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“No, Tina. But don’t fuck this up.”
“For you or for the label?”

Once they heard the sound of another Alphaville-signed band return as the hold music, the bodies huddled around the table visibly relaxed. They could tell that the phone call was starting to intensify on the other end of the line.
“Wow. You think Tina is letting Mr. Bluetooth have a piece of her mind or what?” Alice asked aloud.
“I think it’s a pretty safe bet.” Joyce snorted. “Man, I’d love to be a fly on that wall right about now.”
“Me too.” Alice agreed.
“Hey, Little Porter,” Carmen addressed Bette. “Tina does know that we are making a counteroffer, right?”
“Yes. I think she’s just playing the part for this guy. But he better knock his shit off or I’ll knock it off for him.” Bette muttered, feeling overprotective of her sexy girlfriend.

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.
Hey, Mel! I’m a bad person because I haven’t left a comment in ages; forgive me? Sorry to hear about your Monday, but please, don’t punch it in the face! On to the story, I’ll just say one word: AWKWARD!!! Do try to post as soon as possible. Please and thank you!

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! :-(
