The Summons
We had a very frank discussion about her future and she’s made her choice. For the time being she’ll remain in London however she will have no association nor is she employed by the Peabody Corporation. She’s divested herself from doing any business on our behalf. I have made provisions for her financially. I’ve transferred ownership of the Peabody estate so she has a home. She’s been provided for generously and will do fine on her own if she remains judicious in her lifestyle choices.
“Peggy may speak freely?”
“Of course Dylan. It goes without saying that this conversation is in the strictest confidence and I trust everyone here to adhere to your ethical obligations. You may speak freely as I want to know what’s on everyone’s minds.”
“Thank you Peggy. First I want to say I’m sorry for your troubles.”
“Thank you Dylan. You know better than most what it’s been like.”
“That’s why I need to say this. You know Helena and I have a history. I’m concerned of what she is capable of left to her own devices.”
“I’m well aware and I agree Dylan. Believe me I tried. Up until three days ago I was literally threatening her to come with me to the United States to work on the two acquisitions with Tina and Winnie. She was begrudging me the entire time. I just don’t have the fortitude to continue fighting her. I’m concerned as well but I’ve taken every precaution.”
Peggy being the consummate professional would never break down in a business setting but Bette, Dylan and Max could tell that she was barely holding it together, even Tina and Winnie could sense the emotional turmoil that she was experiencing even though this was the first time meeting her.
“I made my decision but I left the door open. It’s up to her now. I need to look to the future. You’ve all been invited here today because I trust you to be the future of the Peabody Corporation. Moving forward the Peabody Corporation will be a U.S. based company headquartered here in New York City with a branch location in Los Angeles. We will focus our interests in three areas: Art, Culture, and Social Justice. We will promote, support, and fund endeavors that share our philosophy.

With Bette spending so much time inNY and Tina in LA. Romance is going to be slow going. Thanks
Thanks, BAT as I’m enjoying this story. Will be interesting to see if and how you bring our couple together. It’ll be an interesting journey to see how Helena handles her new found freedom and if she feels threatened by Bette and seeks revenge. I can’t see Bette and Tina getting that close when they are on opposite coasts but if anyone can bring them together, you can. I like your chose of characters that you’ve brought together as I always liked Max. Its nice that Dylan and Winnie have better personalities in this one.
Thanks again, looking forward to more chapters!
Like wkm said with Bette in NY and Tina in L.A.they will not have much time to get the romantic candle burning..But with Bette being in New York most of her time and Dylan assisting in the acquisition of Winnie’s theater I wonder if anything will happen there with the tease of the friendly flirting between Dylan and Bette…Perhaps Winnie even?…Interesting to see where all of this goes nonetheless ..And of course there is always Helena waiting in the wings to try to stir something up
This was an interesting chapter, and all turned out for the future.
I’m like the rest of us: for now I do not see how Bette and Tina together. but I hope you solve it ;)
Awesome, the story is getting more and more interesting. I like Peggy, she is leading the show. Thank you for posting… Pps
Wow, Peggy is a kingmaker. Who wouldn’t want a powerful friend like that? A person that really values friendship and loyalty.
I really enjoyed this chapter.
I do not believe in involvement
Bette with Dylan or Winnie.
Waiting new chapter.
