The Summons
“Yes she called me but she didn’t say anything about you. As a matter of fact she said the reason the jet would be in Los Angeles was to transport Helena from New York. I fully expected that you two would be together this weekend. Are you meeting Helena in New York instead?
“I don’t know. Her email didn’t say anything about Helena being there. She said I would be meeting with her and Max Sweeney.”
“I know Max. He’s a good friend. Have you met him?”
“No I haven’t. He’s been involved in most of the merger talks between us but he hasn’t taken much of a leadership role. It’s always been Helena calling the shots.”
“So you haven’t heard from Helena?”
“Not yet. I assume she will contact me to let me know why the change of plans. Anyway Peggy asked me to contact Michael to make travel arrangements. Have you already made yours?”
“No not yet. I was just on the phone with Alice and Valerie to cancel brunch on Sunday. I’d planned to leave early in the morning so I could be in New York before dinner time. Would that work for you? If so I’ll call Michael to make the arrangements with the pilot. We can have him request a flight plan out of Santa Monica airport since it’s closer and less congested than LAX.”
“That sounds great Bette. I wouldn’t have thought to do that. Thank you.”
“Believe me Michael and I work out these flight plans all the time. Peggy’s pilots can generally accommodate our wishes. What about hotel. Do you have a preference?”
“No. I’m not that familiar with New York City. Where are you staying?”
“I own a loft in Tribeca. I’ll ask Michael to book a suite at the Tribeca Grand for you. It’s a quaint boutique hotel, quite beautiful and it’s close to my loft.”
“You have second home in New York?”
“Yes. I travel there quite often for business and pleasure. I love the Tribeca area so I decided to buy the property a few years ago; before that I would always stay at the Tribeca Grand. I think you’ll like it.”
“OK Tribeca Grand sounds good but I don’t know how long I will need to stay. Peggy only mentioned the meeting on Monday she didn’t say when I would be returning to Los Angeles. How long are you staying?”

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.
