It was Monday morning, the actual day of the meeting at the CAC. Bette walked in promptly at 8:00 so she would have an hour to clear her mind before the sit down she was dreading.

Hey James. Today is Monday right?

Hi Bette. Yeah it is. They both let out a small laugh. He handed her her morning coffee which she always needed before getting any work done. She went into her office and sat at her desk starring into space for 50 minutes. At 8:55 she made her way over to the conference room. She adjusted her suit jacket and pushed open the door. She took her seat next to Franklin and waited for the others to come in. She noticed there were 2 extra seats.

I didnt know we were having company Franklin. Whos joining us? Bette asked.

Peggy Peabodys daughter, who is vying to become the president of the CAC, and some intern.

Bettes heart dropped at the mention of Helena. Helena Peabody is on our board? Who the ***** allowed this? We cant just let people walk the ***** in here!

At that exact moment a young woman entered. Her eyes widened at Bettes words and her body froze. She felt unwelcome in the new world she was stepping into. Bette noticed her standing there and the girls expression quickly made Bette realize the words that just came out of her mouth. She stood up and went over to the nervous girl.

With an extended hand she said, Hi Im Bette Porter, head of the CAC. I hope you didnt think I was talking about you. Its another person who will be joining us that Im not too happy about.

Color came back to the girls face and she smiled. Well thats a relief. Im Tiffany. Its an honor to meet you Ms. Porter. I really admire youre work. Thank you for letting me have this opportunity to intern here.

Its my pleasure Tiffany. It was then that Bette noticed she was still holding this womans hand. She looked into her eyes and felt a jolt of electricity run loose throughout her system. This girl was absolutely beautiful. She had brown hair with caramel highlights that reflected Bettes skin tone. Her eyes were a piercing green hidden by a pair of glasses that made her look like the ***** librarian guys, and girls in this case, fantasize about. Her legs were long and lean in black stretch pants that accentuated her every curve. Her blouse had two buttons undone which made Bette want to see more. Bette found herself very much attracted to this younger beauty and knew she had to back off. She let go of her hand and broke eye contact.
