“Of course” Dana nodded, happy that Jenny was going to be doing the commercial for them.

Tina and Helena waited for William’s arrival and were surprised when Adele showed up with him.

“William” Tina said then turned to his companion “Adele we weren’t expecting you.”

“Well William and I have planned most of this project together” Adele was going to continue when Helena cut her off.

“What do you mean ‘you planned’?”  Helena looked at them for an explanation.

“Well, since Jenny is no longer in the picture, Adele and I have” William was cut off by Tina.

“It’s still Jenny’s story, it’s her screenplay and you have no right to change any part of that story.”  Tina glared at them.  “Is that what this meeting is about?”

“Is this some kind of power play for you two weasels?”  Helena joined her.

“I’ll have you know that Jenny gave up the rights to her story when she sold it to the studio” Adele would’ve continued had Helena not interrupted her.

“And I own the studio” Helena reminded her.

“Need I remind you that I agreed to fund the next three films for your studio, if they are directed by Miss Channing” William pointed out.

“What if I told you that there are other investors interested in funding for our studio?”  Tina watched their smiles fade.  “Oh yes, and this investor will be backing all of our projects.”

“She’s bluffing” Adele whispered to William who merely raised a hand to calm her down.

“Who might this investor be?”  William carefully asked.

“They prefer to remain anonymous” Tina told them then looked at Helena, “I don’t know about you but I think this meeting is over.”

Helena nodded her head and got from her seat then cast one last look at the stunned duo.  They exited the restaurant with wide grins knowing how important this victorious round would be for them.  If Bette’s calculations were correct this would set everything off.  It would force the others to take drastic measures which would cause them to make mistakes. 

Tina couldn’t wait to get home and share the news with Bette.  When she arrived, there was a car she didn’t recognize in their driveway.  She walked into the house through the kitchen and heard the sound of a woman giggling.  Her heart beat quickened when she saw Kelly sitting on their dining table with Bette crouched down by the table picking up glass.
