The elevator slowed and chimed softly before coming to a complete stop. As its doors opened, Tina was given a glance at the administrative offices for The Peabody Foundation. Lavish could not even begin to describe the opulence she spied. Art objects from around the globe adorned various pieces of furniture. Chairs were covered in the finest leather in an array of matching colors and the nouveau recessed lighting appeared to mimic natural sunlight. The walls were cleverly painted to suggest a nonexistent visual depth; the effect being enhanced by the strategic placement of large framed mirrors inlaid with swirled lines of ornamental gold. Where present, bouquets of fresh flowers added a dramatic color contrast.
A short distance from the elevators sat a receptionist desk. To the left of the desk near a short hallway appeared an entryway. Tina assumed it led employees toward a suite of offices. She was unable to see office personnel but could hear distant voices and the operation of telephones, photocopiers, and printers.
The middle-aged gray-haired woman occupying a chair behind the desk waved her over. As Tina approached she inquired, “Welcome to The Peabody Foundation. Are you present for an interview?” her voice accented heavily with a British dialect.
“Yes. My name is Tina Kennard. I have an appointment to meet with Jaime from Human Resources.”
“Very good, ma’am. My name is Kendra. I am the central receptionist for The Peabody Foundation and am pleased to make your acquaintance. I believe Jaime is awaiting your arrival in the boardroom through those doors.”
She pointed to the right of the desk and for the first time Tina’s eyes fell on a set of mammoth doors; each measuring at least sixteen feet high and six feet wide. As she walked toward the doors she noticed that they were intricately carved. Although she wished to study the carvings in more detail, she did not wish to appear late for her appointed interview.
Tina gently pulled the right door open. It must have weighed several hundred pounds but somehow it glided easily across the lush noise-stifling carpet. She glanced inside and saw a very young blonde woman glancing over several pieces of paper.
“Hello, my name is Tina Kennard. Are you Jaime?”

Tina’s thoughts are just cracking me up and the description of her appearance is beyond homely. The dark base color about summed it up. Great chapter, East! I’m as excited about her first day of work as she is, although for different reasons. Love Helena.
So much fun! This story is a real treat. Bette must have been on the balcony, eh? Maybe, there will be an event that Bette, Tina, Helena and Peggy will attend together? And Bette will suss out Tina behind her plain and homely appearance??
So she’s thinking of moving Helena to the top of that list, I think it would also be a good ideal. But just maybe Peggy should be #1. Love this post. Can’t wait for more!
Great fun East. I think Helena was pretty subdued in this initial alpha meeting. Now I need to reread from the begining to pick up all the hints as to who is mystery alpha lurking in the back ground waiting for Tina to fall into her arms. You are so naughty with this delightful story
Damn! I love this story!
OH MY GOD! Thanks for making me laugh, can glamerous Tina come back soon? I envisaged Tina as a walking ball of electricity, I was sure she was going to get a shocks everytime she touched something. Ok, I’m one of these folk who never judges a book by its cover, your just don’t know what you will unearth. Now, I think Helena is sure going to be blown away when she gets to know Tina. Thanks for this chapter.
Helena is so forthsoming typical alpha but breaking you in…was a ploy to flirt incessively.Because anyone only says that when theyre hoping to spark a reaction.And she used the facade of being British to hide behind saying we having a different way of showing someone the ropes.Nice though how it was done :)…So who was this Brunette on the balcony was this Bette or Helena or someone else cant wait for me i have simplying been chuckling throughout this chapter so thanks good job nobody was hope they might think im crazy
OMG, I love this….can you please promise that you’ll do all in your power to complete this story..however long it takes?? Tks and PPS
can’t imagine how helena will react when she finds out this ‘librarian’ drives a passion-red corvette lol thanks for the regular updates, east! life got in the way yesterday so i was unable to reread the chapter in search for your precious clue ;)
I begining to get a mental image of Tina’s “dress down” and my only comparison at this time is “Ugly Betty”. So it appears that Tina already know of Alpha-Helena Peabody? i’m with Helena on this one “what you aren’t telling us….Miss Kennard?
Great chapter. Helena will be in for one great surprise when Tina eventually shows just who she is or if Helena investigates and finds out for herself. Can hardly wait. Great chapter. Post when you can.
