Arriving at the Grand Central Terminal a few hours later, it didn’t surprise me to find James waiting there for me. He, along with Sonja, were the only ones I trusted among those who worked under me. Together, we took the first taxi we could spot and told the driver to take us to the PGC’s headquarters – the famous MVP Towers, which had become quite a landmark in NYC. I was banking on the fact that a lot of tourists flock to that place – I would need their cover if I wanted to sneak inside my own building unnoticed by security. I couldn’t just waltz right in and take the executive elevator to the auditorium – that would be too risky. I needed to make a surprise appearance at the press conference, not that I wanted the attention, mind you. I needed to do so because alerting my father of my presence in the city before the announcement was made would be very detrimental to my plans. The moment he finds out I’m here, I knew he would send me back to Yale.
Just as I had hoped, a large group of tourists were converging by the entrance of the lobby when we arrived. A guide was heading the group, giving a short introduction about the history of the Porter Group of Companies and the businesses it ran – the major ones being the banks, the insurance companies, the oil refineries, and of course, the hotels. Leaving James to pay the fare, I hurry my way towards them and squeeze myself in the crowd of starry-eyed tourists. My plan was to slip away with James after the tour guide takes us up to the viewing deck at the topmost floor. The auditorium was a floor down from there.
Little did I know how fast my plan would go awry. No sooner had James appeared beside me when panic broke out and sent the world spinning out of its axis.
I didn’t see it when it happened.
But I heard it. I heard it so clearly it sent shivers rippling all over my body. I heard it.. the terrifying sound of metal crunching.. of shattering glass.. of people screaming. With wide eyes, I turned around and faced the street – my own morbid curiosity and naivety dictating my actions. I cursed myself for not being strong enough to resist it not a second later – when I saw with my naked eyes the distressing sight that met me there. The glass panels of the lobby gave me an unobstructed view of the chaos that was happening outside. Women were screaming, men were running all over the place. A teenager who had been enjoying a hot dog by a cart was now bent over by the curb, depositing the contents of his stomach unto the pavement.

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..
