    The Summons

    Peggy having had the foresight to have Max shadow Helena on the Shaolin deal would make the transition seamless, especially since he was already working with Tina Kennard. As for the theatre company project she would hand that off to Dylan to work directly with Winnie Mann.

    She didn’t know Tina Kennard or Winnie Mann beyond their reputation in their respective fields but she trusted that she’d made good business decisions by naming them to head these two projects on behalf of the companies she was acquiring. She’d planned to meet with the two teams separately and then have them all together for lunch so they could get to know each other. She wanted Bette to join them because not only was she family but she would also play an integral part in the future of the Peabody Corporation.

    Peggy arranged for the group to have lunch in the Peabody Dining Hall. The chef was renowned and the cuisine rivaled that of many five star restaurants in New York City. Having lunch there also gave them privacy so they could speak freely and it afforded them the confidentiality and discretion from the wait staff.

    Bette walked into the dining area and the maître d escorted her to the table where the others were already seated. Peggy was the first to greet her with a tight embrace and a kiss on both cheeks.

    “Bette darling. I am so happy to see you. I’ve missed you.”

    “I’ve missed you too Peggy. You look wonderful.”

    “And you are more beautiful every time I see you. I think you know everyone with the exception of Winnie Mann.”

     “Winnie. Bette Porter it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

    “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well Bette.” Bette shakes hands with Winnie. She then greets Max, Dylan and Tina.

    “Hey Max it’s been too long. How are you?” She hugs her buddy and he kisses her cheek.

    “I’m doing great Bette. I can’t wait to get out to the west coast to hang out with you guys for a while. Tina tells me that you are featuring her best friend’s art at your gallery in a couple of weeks.”

    “Yes we are. I’m very excited about Valerie’s work. You should come to the opening and bring Tom.”

    1. 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!

    2. 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

    3. 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 ;)
