Bette and Alice, surprised by Tina’s sudden burst: “What?!”

            “Um, there aren’t any pictures of us, together!”

            “Jesus, she’s right! You are supposed to be a family… Families have plenty of pictures together!” Alice confirmed. They totally needed to figure out how to fix that little hiccup.

            Fortunately Alice had the brilliant idea of contacting one of her friends, who was a very talented graphic designer. He helped them manipulating some pictures they quickly made together, in a photographic studio. Alice brought lots of different clothes, so they could change every time they had to take another picture. They managed to simulate some vacancies such as a visit to the coliseum whilst in Rome, or a weekend at Bahamas and so on; the background was green, that way the graphic designer could be able to replace it with a fake one.

            “Jesus Christ! I almost froze taking those pictures. Was it necessary to simulate a day at the beach? It’s December for God’s sake, we are not supposed to wear those tiny bikinis at this time of the year” Bette protested. All of them were finally making their way back to the house.

            “Oh come on, it’s over now. You can go back wearing your expensive jackets” Alice joked.

            “That was so funny!” Angelica added. “I’ve never had such a great time, in my entire life”

            “See, Bette? That’s the right spirit!” Alice said, patting the kid’s head.

After a long and busy day, Tina was enjoying the ride to the house and couldn’t help but chuckle; Alice was so different she couldn’t believe she was her boss’ best friend. Well, actually she couldn’t believe her boss could have a best friend at all.

The fatal day was getting closer; Peggy Peabody was going to arrive the next afternoon and the women were doing their best to try to get everything ready and perfect for her arrival. Bette and Alice were starting to think about some plans to make the business go on smoothly; hopefully Peggy was going to accept their proposal.

            “I suggest you not to talk about this with Tina, you know, she’s one of the employees and well, she may not be happy to help you making people to lose their jobs” Alice suggested.
