Helena remained strangely quiet… as the alpha was reassessing for her next approach. She kept staring intently at Tina as she spoke; as if she had returned to assessing the body beneath her clothes. It was unnerving. In order to shift her focus, Tina engaged Jaime in her monologue.
“As my resume demonstrates, I have been successfully climbing the corporate ladder; but quite frankly, I am ready for a change. When I saw the advertisement for The Peabody Foundation, I conducted a little research on the organization and felt as though I might be able to contribute. I also admired the social agenda for The Foundation and want the work I do to make a difference.”
When Tina made direct eye contact with Helena once more, she looked like the cat that has just swallowed the canary.
“Well, Ms. Kennard I must say I am very impressed. I am actually pleased to say that my mother was correct yet again. I had my doubts prior to meeting you but you seem highly poised, intelligent, and gracious as well…” she paused briefly.
Tina wanted to relax at the brunette’s kind remarks; although she sensed a need to remain guarded.
“… But I can’t help but wonder what you aren’t telling us. You appear to be over qualified for the position we are offering and I can’t help but be curious about your decision to join our Foundation.”
Before she could consider a reply, the door behind the table opened for a second time and the senior Mrs. Peabody entered the room with a flourish. As was her wont, the woman moved quickly from the entryway and within seconds was standing next to Tina’s chair.
“Hello, Ms. Tina Kennard I presume.”
Tina stood and clasped her hand.
“Yes, Mrs. Peggy Peabody, I presume? And please call me Tina.”
“Oh, I like you already. What need is there to be so formal? Life is already filled with too much drama. No need to create more.”
Peggy turned to Jaime, “Hello Jaime. Thank you for arranging this interview with Ms. Kennard.”
Jamie’s face lit up in a smile. It was clearly evident that she valued the praise from the senior Peabody.
“Mrs. Peabody it was my pleasure. Thank you for finding the time to join us.”

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.
