“I thought you were working on a deal with GenTech so we won’t have to let people go?” I asked my dad in disbelief. He was just talking about it the other day and he seemed very optimistic that it would push through.. so what the heck happened?
“I was, but it didn’t work out.” He kept his answer short. His downcast gaze told me that he was hesitant to elaborate, but I pushed him with my incessant whys. And I pushed him some more until he finally caved in.
“It fell apart because the majority of shares in GenTech are owned by the Jules Wentworth.” He told me somberly, lifting his gaze to meet my own.
“Does he have anything against you?”
“No.”
“Then?” I pressed on.
“You know his daughter Kelly..”
I do? My brows meet at the middle as I struggle hard to remember. Try as I might, the name Kelly Wentworth just doesn’t ring a bell.
Seeing the blank look on my face, he carried on. “You might recall her as the girl who accidentally sneezed on your face during your freshman year in Redwind.” My father shared with a weary sigh. “You bullied her out of school.”
“Oh! Oh..” I say slowly, biting my lower lip as overwhelming guilt gripped me inside. My father’s silence told me everything. The deal fell apart because the Wentworth’s had a personal vendetta against me. So me and my red tag did this? I could feel the color draining from my face. I could see my shaking hands under the table. I could feel my mouth going dry. Shit. I was the reason why three hundred souls are going to lose their jobs. Holy fucking shit.
Pulled out of my reverie, I turned away from the lady’s newspaper – preferring to stare outside the window and at the passing scenery instead. I focus all my attention on the trees – channeling all my energies on taking in the color of their leaves. I remember Sonja telling me when I was a kid that whenever I feel agitated, I should take a deep breath and stare at trees. She says that green is a very relaxing color, and it would calm me down. I didn’t believe her then. Our estate in the Hollywood Hills was overflowing with plants – so was Redwind Academy’s grounds. If the color was really powerful enough to induce relaxation, then why didn’t it keep my notorious temper in check then? Why didn’t it stop me from handing out red tags and increasing the number of my unfortunate victims? For so long, I had remained a skeptic to Sonja advice. But looking out the window now, I couldn’t help but think that there might be a grain of truth to her words. For the first time, I really looked at the trees – I really took their color in. I allowed it to hypnotize me, and for the duration of the trip, it held my restlessness at bay.

Oh wow, I see some drama sneaking up on our couple, but I know you’ll keep them safe and happy! Thanks and PPS!
right, kate, director of my A… will learn the hard way that nobody flirt with Tina. Bette will tell her lol. Great post please don’t stay away too long Alch
Rut roh. Bette’s gonna start sitting on tree branches so she can live amidst green, and Kate Arden shows up. I’m relieved that you made a Kate a musician and not a filmmaker, but it still sounds like there is drama ahead.
After reading this chapter, I have enrolled myself in lamas classes. I feel that the breathing technique will help me get through the next few chapters. I’m starting to feel numbness, not sure where. Thanks for the post, once again, you rock!
Oh no Kate Arden. I hope that she stays away from Tina. So Bette is still freaking out from having to lay off workers. I can understand her dislike for that type of situation. I love this story and hope that Bette and Tina will stay together.
A request, please please let Bette N Tina be together forever. Ok now that request done..I absolutely love your stories. Bette have some major challenges coming her way..profesionaly & privately. Thanks for sharing, you are the best.
Uh oh trouble coming and Bette gonna kick some ass. Hope she will talk to Tina and help her with the problem. Please post soon, thanks!
Drama, drama, drama on the horizon! Sounds like Bette needs to speak with someone about her issues, and Kate coming on to Tina is gonna cause some issues…PPS:)
Oh never liked that name. Never did and never will. Poor Bette, she has got to talk to somebody about her situation. Its gonna drive her crazy.
God your such a bad tease!! I mean that in a good way of course…looks like lots of drama in the horizon for B&T..hmm..as always this was a joy to read thank you
Bette should maybe consider therapy… That’s a lot of guilt to carry. But her red-tagging didn’t make that guy jump to his death. Nor is she to blame for PGC’s financial straits. If she can’t tell a therapist, she should at least tell Tina. Now, this Kate Arden… I smell trouble. Thanks for the post, Alchemy.
Wow!!!!What an awesome update. I have been reading from the start & really love all the twists & turns that U are coming up with in this fic. U have me on the edge of my seat & I can’t wait to see what happens next..adding Kate to the story…nice touch..Bette will get so jealous & with her shutting Tina out with the finicial problems of the Potters business…Tina may need someone to talk to…just saying-But I hope Bette opens up to her. I also loved the Paris Hilton joke-it was the best one that I have ever heard. Classic. Keep up the awesome work..
