I avoided her piercing eyes and went to grab the contract, and watched her sit on the sofa. “I have to say that it’s not exactly a fair purchase. The Peabody foundation dropped out too suddenly so the studio is now in a desperate condition. Our offer to Shaolin is really… under…priced.” I dived in the business conversation right away, and when I looked up to see if she was listening, I crushed into the brownest, most beautiful pools of liquid. She was just staring at me like that. The angry clouds in her eyes somehow cleared up, and the irritation dispersed.
It was only for two seconds, but felt like an eternity. She darted her eyes away, and searched for something in her handbag. When she found it, she put it on the coffee table.
I wasn’t sure if it was my cue to sit next to her, or take the paper. As I stood there, she gave me a look telling me that she was waiting.
I took it as a challenge, went around the coffee table and sat on the sofa, just several inches beside her. She leaned into the furniture while I read through the contract. I didn’t really focus on the piece in my hand, because my senses were amplified. The heat radiating from her body, the familiar smell of perfume and cigarette, the rhythmic breathing… her presence enveloped me. I had to fight the urge to embrace her.
I swallowed. “So, uh… you dropped another twenty thousand in re-delegating the personnels. You know the studio is going to take quite a hit on this deal.”
She took her glasses out of the handbag and stuck them on her nose bridge. And she started some calculation on a sketch. I dared to lean a little closer to see her manipulating the equations so quickly like I had never seen. Then after the long page of demonstration, she proved that her result was absolutely in the proper range for minimum cost and relative maximum profit.
“Yes, I see it’s perfectly reasonable. But it’s just they presented a budget that we can agree on. Now you are still bargaining on these, it’s a bit inhumane, don’t you think?”
“It’s business. It’s supposed to be brutal. That’s how you paint the big picture.” She said calmly and fished out a pack of cigarette.

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. :)
