“What are you doing, Bette?” I came down to the display hall and saw her fuming at Leonard, the gallery director.
Billy immediately jumped behind me. “I’m just an accountant.”
“Ah! I can’t believe this.” She threw her hands in the air in mock astonishment. “This painting does not fit the scene you’re trying to build, it damages the balance and the pace of the series. It belongs to the collection in his later creation.”
“But miss, it’s the most important piece in the artist’s career. And our whole show kinda evolves around this one.” Leonard had his face reddened. He was a proud Berkeley graduate, who had never been questioned by a twenty-something young woman about his ability to pull together a show.
“This doesn’t give you the right to put it here. You clearly don’t understand how to use a display hall. When did you graduate again?”
“2004.” He said proudly. 13 years earlier than she.
“Hmmm, never thought of go back school and learn something new, did you?” Bette continued to bombard the man. She rummaged some paper from the desk nearby and sketched on it. “Do you see how you just put a stiff stance right between his continual development in the 90s? People are not going to look at the paintings on either sides first. You use the space on the east wall. It’s understandable when people tour in the place clockwise.”
“But your arrangement diminishes the importance of this work. It deserves a drastic contrast.” Leonard’s voice was barely audible.
Bette glared him as if he was retarded. “And now you’re saying you can’t manage lightings? Gosh do I have to do the plumbing too?”
Leonard looked like he was about to have a heart-attack.
“And I want his Me Gustas Tu. It’s a shame you’re gonna overlook that collection.” She stated her demand.
I quickly came in between them. “Ok, ok, we get it. We’ll do it your way. Please?” I sort of begged her to not cause such a scene.
She glanced at me, but then she dismissed the director with a signature twist of wrist. “Fine, I want to make some change in the contract anyway.”
“Let’s talk upstairs.” I turned around to the spiral stairs before she said more.
It was obvious she didn’t like to be told where to go or what to do. Yet she still followed. As soon as she stepped into my office, the space seemed small all of a sudden. And the air was oppressive, dense, pressuring. My heart was jumping so loudly that I could hear the echoes in my body. Maybe this was a stupid idea, being with her in a exclusive room like this, just added to my agony.

Alright, folks, you see the tension, and Tina’s still at Bette’s place. You can guess where I’m heading to from now on.
Wait till you see the next chapter!
And I’ve always promised to fix things.
Thank you for reading, and please I welcome your comments.
Peace
Have a nice trip and thank you for the update.
Thank you, I was indeed very lucky with my visa application.
RT,
God bless you on your visa application.
I’m glad to read your new chapter. I understand Bette’s feelings but Tina truly loved her and still loves her. So I hope that B will be able to accept Tina again.
Did Tina committed suicide? I hope that B will discover this so that she will know that Tina suffered too.
Will be waiting for your next chap :)

Thank you very much. The application went well. I’m waiting for the result and I’m certain that it was successful.
Your guess is very accurate. But it has not been divulged in the story yet. I’m going to discuss on it in later chapters and you’ll find out how I manage it.
Hope you like the next chapter. :)
Oh boy, there is for sure a lot of tension and anger.
The road for happiness will be long and with a few bumps.
Sounds like Bette is jeaulous, thats good, she can’t have expected that Tina remained single.
Good luck with getting your visa.
Yes, anger and tension. It’s gonna be pretty disastrous when it gets released all at once.
The road is not easy, otherwise, happiness is just cheap. I intend to let them have a few bumps down the road. And when they finally realize how much they love each other after all, it’s all gonna be worthy.
Thank you. You are very kind. I was lucky with my visa application.
Please continue to read my stories, and review.
Bette and Tina need to talk and work thing out, sad to see them like this
It’s sad. And unfortunately, I probably made it sadder in the next chapter.
But they’ll work it out. Have some faith! :)
I didn’t read your story in a while, but I’m glad to finally find the time to do it because I like it a lot ! My god … Bette can be such a b….
Anyway, post soon ;-)
Bette can be a little bit clueless. I know, because that’s who she is.
But she also has suffered much. It’s been eating her. Her life is a mess.
Thank you for catching up with my story and reviewing. I hope you’ll like the next chapter.
Im completely on Bette side in this. ..and just out of curiosity is this Yolanda the same as the one in therapy session on the show, Candice ex?
It is Yolanda Watkins. But I’m not including Candice in this chapter.
Don’t worry about her. She’s a teeny tiny little character in the story, and she’s not even going to have a line. :P
Bette seems like the loneliest person in the world, looks like walking dead from your description AND has some illness hanging over her, lol. Tina, on the other hand, has it quite good – she has her friends, Bette’s friends, Bette’s family, her douchebag father is still in her life, she has a kid AND, as we found out from the last page, she even had a girlfriend all this time (lol, not that heartbroken after all). She really messed up Bette’s life big time.
Hmmm, I see your point. But Tina’s story and suffering have not been exposed entirely, and I believe that it’s not as good as you think right now.
Both of the parts suffered. And they will have to work extra hard to mend their broken hearts, and find a new way to get along.
I will continue with exploring the truth, and fixing things up for them.
Thank you for commenting and please read more.
I hope Bette and Tina can have another honest conversation. No one can blame Bette for her anger, but she still doesn’t know exaclty what happened and how Tina never really betrayed her. After all, she never did anything to harm her or acted with ill intentions once she got to know her. Amazing story, I’ll be looking forward to the next post!
Thank you very much for the support.
Bette, poor Bette, she just couldn’t move on. She is stubborn, and that stubbornness is causing her trouble, her suffering. It’s a mistake on her part. And she is going to make more mistakes.
But eventually, eventually, Bette could always get around. Just hope that when she does, it wouldn’t be too late for them to start anew.
I wish you can continue to enjoy my story. :)
