“We’ll plan on it.”
“Excellent.” Bette then turned her attention to her friend Dylan Mooreland. They hugged and shared a friendly kiss on the lips before pulling apart and checking each other out.
“D. you are looking gorgeous as usual. I love the short hair.”
“And I love yours long Beauty. You look absolutely stunning.”
“Thank you D.”
Tina stood by as Bette greeted her friends with hugs and kisses until it was her turn.
“Hey Tina.”
“Hi Bette.”
Peggy watched as Bette and Tina greeted each other by holding hands and moving towards each other to share a kiss on the cheek. After the hello’s she called everyone’s attention. “Shall we sit?”
The group of six sat down at the round table. The waiter came to offer menus and take their drink orders. Peggy waited for everyone to put in their orders and get their drinks before she started to speak.
“I first wanted to thank Tina for coming here to New York on such short notice and being indulgent with me. I know my invitation was very vague but after our meeting this morning and what I am about to tell you I think it will explain everything. Bette you and I will talk privately after lunch so I ask you to indulge me just bit longer.”
“No problem. You’ve held me in suspense for the past several days. What’s a couple more hours?”
“Exactly. Now stop pouting so I can get on with what I have to say.”
“I’m not pouting. Please continue.” Peggy reaches over and pinches Bette’s cheeks affectionately.
“Thank you. As I was saying … since my husband’s death two years ago I have been working towards divesting much of the Peabody conglomerate as it really is too much for me to manage on my own. I had naturally expected that my daughter Helena would work alongside me and as our heir succeed me in the business but that is not to be. Helena and I have never seen eye to eye. Even as a child we always found ourselves at cross purposes. I thought I could shape and mold her into what I envisioned for her but I finally had to admit that it was a futile effort. She will never confine herself to my wishes and I can’t afford to have a loose cannon at the helm.

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.
