Peggy worked her way around the table and sat next to her daughter.
“Hello, Helena. So kind of you to join us … particularly this early in the morning.”
The statement was rifled with sarcasm. One certainly did not need a degree in human relations to recognize the conflicted relationship these two shared.
“Oh, mummy. You know how full of energy I am first thing in the morning.”
“Yes, now if only we could direct it properly.”
Helena glared at Peggy. She was wise enough to hold her tongue in check and avoid further repartee in front of an employee and potential new hire.
“Tina, when would you be available to start?” the senior Mrs. Peabody asked returning her attention to the matter at hand.
Helena gasped.
“Mummy, you haven’t even asked her any questions.” She leaned back in her chair and played with the oversized ring on her finger.
The senior Peabody turned to her daughter with a glint in her eyes and an unspoken threat in her posture.
“Nor do I intend to my dear. Tina’s resume speaks for itself. She is frankly over-qualified for the position. My greatest concern is that she may take a position elsewhere. As we discussed previously, IT is NOT your personal compatibility that concerns me regarding this position.”
Tina instantly knew that she had been the focus of a much more in-depth discussion between these two stalwart feminine figures.
Tina interjected, “Is Monday too soon?” hoping to avoid the unfolding of further family bickering.
“Ahh…ready to get to work. Even more reason to hire you on the spot. Monday sounds ideal. Jaime, will you escort Ms. Kennard to the office next to Helena’s and provide her with a brief tour of our office suite.”
“Of course, ma’am.” Jaime spoke promptly.
“Tina… Helena and I will fax you an offer outlining your proposed salary and benefits. Please review it and if you are in agreement sign it and fax it back this afternoon. I’m fairly certain you will find our offer to be both generous and fair. After a 90-day probationary period, we will be open to discussing an increase in wages provided we see results. If you have no further questions, we will see you at 9 a.m. sharp on Monday morning, Tina.”
Tina stood and reached across the table to shake hands with Peggy and her daughter. Helena clearly remained displeased but turned on the alpha charms as she clasped Tina’s hand in both of her own. The look in her eye suggested that she clearly was considering Tina to be her next project.
As Helena spoke, her fingers gently caressed the outside of the blonde’s hand in a deliberate fashion. “Tina, I’m thoroughly pleased to make your acquaintance and shall look forward to breaking you in… ahh… you know how you American’s say…showing you the ropes at The Peabody Foundation.”
Jaime coughed once more and quickly stood. She gestured Tina in the direction of the door, indicating that she would follow her.
As the door closed behind Tina she swore she could hear Helena shriek, “What the hell are you up to now, Mummy?”
“Why my dear Helena, why would I… of all people… be up to anything?”

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.
