KDG Offices – Friday Afternoon: T-Minus 4 hours and 18 minutes To Show Time 

Thursday was hectic for Bette at the office and today was going to be no different. As she and Max were enjoying lunch in their office, Leonard came racing in to tell them both that his New York meeting was moved to Saturday morning because the pharmaceutical company had received a patent on their new Erectile Dysfunction pill and were ready to market it along with their High Cholesterol pill they had already contracted with KDG to create a Super Bowl ad for.

The company told Leonard that if he could pitch the ED pill campaign in addition to the HC pill campaign, they would sweeten the pot by signing a 3-year exclusivity deal for both products if they liked KDG’s ideas.

Needless to say, Thursday was a 14-hour day for Bette and Max as they tried to design a logo as well as a concept for a television commercial. Truth be told, this wasn’t one of Bette’s areas of expertise since she couldn’t give two shits about penis problems. It didn’t help that every idea she had was vetoed by Leonard and his penis.

Here it was, 3:12 p.m. the day of the show, and Bette was still no where close to finishing the pitch. She had already resigned herself to coming in on Saturday in order to finish the quarterly reports she left Wednesday night after Max hooked up the webcams. Leonard was already on his way to New York and would land around 6:30 local time, which was 18 minutes from now. He expected Bette to have a Power Point rough draft emailed to him by the time he checked into his hotel.

The busy brunette heard her phone buzzing underneath the mountain of papers and file folders spread across her desk. Kit was calling.

“Kit, I really can’t talk right now, I am so buried, and if I don’t spend every available moment working, I will not be able to make it to your first show tonight.” She fired out her statement in an instant.

“I’m sorry Baby Sis, I know you’re swamped. Just calling to check in on you, girl. And to let you know that Alice and Tayo are on their way to drop off a late lunch ‘cause I know you ain’t eatin’ buried under all that paperwork.” Kit said hurriedly.
