“Why yes I am.” Jaime smiled in Tina’s direction and stood, extending her hand in order to greet her.
Jamie was a slender, petite woman in her late twenties. She was professionally attired in a conservative black dress with a colorful patterned silk scarf. Her short hair was cut to accent her high cheekbones and fell gracefully down the sides of her face.
Tina moved in her direction and clasped her hand. As Tina met Jaime’s eyes she could have sworn she saw a look of surprise. The young woman glanced away quickly to hide her thoughts from Tina’s perusal. ‘Oh, I would give a hundred dollars to know what you are thinking’ Tina mused. She assumed it was in some way related to her doughty appearance.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Indeed. Please have a seat, Ms. Kennard. I’ll let Mrs. Peabody know that you are present. She is most anxious to interview you. Apparently she was exceedingly impressed by your credentials.”
“Thank you. I shall look forward to making her acquaintance.” Tina patted herself on the back for her smooth reply.
Jaime pushed a couple of buttons on a nearby telephone. She asked Kendra to notify Mrs. Peabody of Ms. Kennard’s arrival.
“So, what interests you in working for The Peabody Foundation, Ms. Kennard?”
“Oh, please call me Tina. I have wanted to become more involved in community art projects as well as service organizations for several years. It’s hard to make the transition though from one’s current lifestyle and career; I needed to find both the proper position and courage to move in a new direction.”
Jaime nodded politely. She continued to glimpse at Tina’s appearance with questioning looks in her eyes.
“When I saw the ad posted in the Times, I knew this was a potential opportunity. My childhood interest in creative development has been channeled into a full-time career in the film industry for the past several years. I confess that I have grown frustrated with the red tape involved in large scale productions. I am seeking a more ‘hands-on’ approach.”
“Ahh, I see. Well you will be well matched at The Peabody Foundation. Ms. Peabody’s daughter definitely uses a ‘hands-on’ approach in the Development department.” Jaime sighed and smiled, maintaining a guarded distance from her remarks. Tina felt a chill run up her spine and wondered whether they were talking about the same type of approach.

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.
