“You hoo. Bette, Helena over here girls.” walking toward them kissing each on the cheek.

“Phyllis” as she was greeted by both.

“Thank goodness you two are here. Bette do you remember RS Falcon?

“How could I forget. He is such an ass, why do you ask?

“Well that ass is here and guess who he wants to see.”

“No”

“Bette please. Listen I’m not asking you to sleep with him. Just meet with him that‘s all. Look he’s one of our biggest contributors. And I know he’s chauvinistic pig, but when it comes to finding good people to work with the school he’s really good at that. All I ask is for just ten minutes, that’s it. And if you wish to leave after that I won’t try to stop you. Please Bette, I’m begging here.”

Bette had to admit she did owe a lot to Phyllis and it really wasn’t to much to ask. But then again it could be she still had a soft spot for blonds especially a begging one. “Okay ten minutes, but I swear if that” … taking a moment to calm herself Bette looked at Phyllis and then Helena and smiled.

“Listen Bette if he does and we know he probably will. I will back you 100%. Just humor me this time. And that long weekend you want it’s yours.” Phyllis pleaded.

“Phyllis if Mr. Falcon wants to meet, then meet we shall.” a concerned look was on Phyllis face. “Don‘t look so worried Phyllis. I promise to be on my best behavior. And Phyllis”

“Yes”

“That long weekend needs to start this week.” hooking arms with Helena. “How would you like to meet R.S Falcon he’s one of our biggest contributors you know?”

“Really.” said Helena as she squeezed Bette arm a little tighter and moved a little closer.

“Ah thanks Bette, and by the way did I mention how great you two look.” only seeing their backs as they walked away. “Hey don’t mind me…” as she looked around the room. “Sylvia darling.” calling out as she made her way to greet another one of her guest.

As Bette and Helena walked through the crowd. They stopped in front of one the servers to retrieve a glass of wine.
