Katanna...Darling...Dear

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

Stepping through the hallways of the executive floor of the APW Tower, Robin finally found herself back standing in front of the door of Miss Katanna Jade. Interesting name her parents had chosen for her yes? Though only speaking with the young woman briefly through a phone conversation, Robin had gotten the impression that she should at least extend a hand in regard to her thus far outstanding treatment here in Toronto. Although still a bit frustrated over being stood up by her first point of contact here, she composed herself, placing a few knocks on the door of the young Co-CEO, awaiting a response confirming her willingness to allow her entry.

[Katanna Jade]

Busy as usual with paper work for APW Katanna once more welcomes the chance for a break from the day to day operations of a major wrestling promotion. Placing the papers safely away inside her desk for the moment she then speaks up.

Please come in the door is open.

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

Opening the door, Robin immediately put on her best smile, her eyes looking over the contents of the room before making eye contact with the young, very young woman sitting behind the desk, buried behind paperwork almost. Raising an eyebrow, she closed the door behind her as she replied, making her way to the desk, hand extended.

"Miss Jade?"

Wow she was a young CEO if she'd ever seen one. Wonder how that happened.

"Robin R. Moretti. We spoke a few days ago, when you arranged for my temporary stay here in the APW Towers. I merely wanted to stop by to chat for a second. If you have one that is?"

[Katanna Jade]

Of course Mrs. Moretti I have enough time for a chat. How is everything accommodation wise satisfactory I hope, and will we be seeing from your wonderful sibling anytime in the near future? I have all the necessary papers draw up for when the time comes to help speed up the signing process.

So this was the young lady who had contacted her. Katanna wondered just how much she knew at this point. Was this just a social call or was she looking for something more?

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

A small hand shake as the young CEO stood from her seat, immediately after they both took their respective seats, Robin already wondering just how much Miss Jade was aware of concerning the coming operations so to speak. Making herself comfortable while removing the sunglasses from her face she finally replied with an even brighter smile on her face.

"Oh, everything is wonderful to say the least. A visually spectacular scenery you all have created here as well. I applaud Ms Corban and yourself for such an outstanding job."

"And, as far as my brother is concerned, he's informed me that he expects to arrive within the week. Two at the latest."

Almost on cue, the idea that she had so readily asked of her brother's whereabouts brought about a bit of curiosity.

"I take it, you've spoken to him recently then? Hopefully he hasn't been spewing information off to just any random person. I taught him well better than that."

She prayed he hadn't. He wouldn't. Or at least she hoped he wouldn't. Information such as their plans were to be kept as discreet as possible.

[Katanna Jade]

Oh we have talked recently, but the business discussions have been kept light, mostly just concerning having things ready for his arrival here. Other than that I don't believe he has yet spoken to anyone else in the company. Very good to hear that you like the accommodations here, you are of course welcome to stay as long as necessary to complete the coming business, everything will be taken care of during your stay just as it has been so far.

Interesting it seemed Mrs. Moretti may not even know about her Katanna's own current situation involving her sibling, it did make her curious as to how she would respond to such a thing but, that could wait until later at a more appropriate time.

I can't wait for your brothers arrival though it should be quite the event something that will truly let people know APW is defiantly back and here to stay for a long time.

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

"Yes. I suppose so."

She stopped speaking for a moment, staring into the young woman's eyes as she leaned back in her office chair. Something was afoot as far as Robin was concerned, and she had every intention of finding out what. Nothing would jeopardize their plans. Not if she had anything to say about it anyway.

Sitting herself up to a more comfortable position, on the very edge of the chair, she folded her hands in her lap as she decided the blunt approach may be appropriate given the circumstances and chance for loss with the coming plans.

"I'll be blunt here Ms. Jade. Given the severity of whats soon to begin here in APW, and as you said yourself, it should at least assist in putting APW back on the map so to speak...I'm sure you understand that things must be handled with a certain seriousness and business should always be put ahead of any other...Emotion or...Desire any of us may have..."

"You are a CEO after all. You have to understand what I'm getting at? I just don't wish for any distractions is all. But, you seem like a relatively intelligent woman. You wouldn't cause for any distractions or problems would you Ms. Jade?"

[Katanna Jade]

Oh I assure you everything is well thought out there will be no unecessary distractions along the way, and to ensure things go more smoothly I'll be looking after your brothers dealings here personally so as to minimize any potentail conflicts that may happen if both CEOs were to be doing so, It should also ensure no information is accidentally let out by a miscommunication at any point.

Oh now this was interesting indeed it semed the lovely Mrs. Moretti had not been informed of the current situation involving Katanna and her brother. She wondered just what she would think of such things with her business first attitude, oh so tempting to let it slip just to find out, but not just yet it may cause for unecessary friction at this point.

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

"Hm. I surely hope so."

Wait...Handling his business personally she said? Smiling brightly, and tilting her head to the side daintily she went on.

"Ms. Corban doesn't even know of my brother's signing on to APW's roster, does she?"

[Katanna Jade]

Oh not at this moment she doesn't she has been rather busy with several signings of her own, but she will be informed at our next meeting of such a high profile siging of course....

Katanna had been about to continue talking when her office phone rang. Checking the number she picked it up.

So sorry Mrs. Moretti I'll ask them to call back shorty so we can continue our conversation. Now turning her attention to the phone call. Hello I was hoping to here from you. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of talking business with a lovely young woman. A Mrs. Moretti I'm sure you'll meet her on your arrival, yes I'll call as soon as we're done, talk to you soon my love and look forward to once more seeing you in person.

Katanna then hung up the phone and turned her full attention Back to Mrs. Moretti, the smile on her face even brighter than before.

As I said Ms. Corban shall be informed of your brothers sigining very shortly. I have been keeping things quiet at his request so as not to have anyone cause a stir about his arrival seeing as how some of the individuals here may find his arrival cause for a commotion of sorts.

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

Robin's eyes slowly floated towards the phone now back inside of it's base. She wondered whom the caller on the other end was. Part of her thought she may already know, and if she was in fact correct, he'd have plenty of explaining to do once they spoke again. She thought of removing her own phone from her purse, and making the call right here and now in front of Ms. Jade. But perhaps that may cause friction that was not needed right now. But it didn't' mean she wouldn't do such a thing at a later date.

"I see. I guess you're both pretty busy as of late then hm?"

She put major emphasis on the word busy of course, nodding her head as she replied once again.

"Well as long as business is being taken care of in a manner that's suitable for whats ahead for APW, I won't complain. Yet that is. No disrespect, but I get the feeling that may not be the case. I guess we'll see but..."

"Just to let you know, I will be keeping a close eye on things around the place. Not to step on any toes or anything but, when I invest time and effort into something, I make it a point to keep as close an eye on it as possible. The saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself. Hopefully we can get along Ms. Jade, as I can see that both of us are the strong minded and strong willed types. Wouldn't want for anything inappropriate to happen between us and someone be left out of the equation later on now would we?"

Yes. That would be you Ms. Jade. Tread carefully. This is Robin's world. You're just paying rent here.

[Katanna Jade]

Oh how quaint Katanna thought to herself. Mrs. Moretti playing tough so to speak and thinking she would have anything to do with keeping her out of the dealings in her own company. No Katanna hadn't missed that veiled little threat but she could let it slide for now but only because she knew of a much more appropriate way to show Robin who the alpha female was around here, at a later date.

Don't worry, the business is being run very professionally and all is going somethingly just as it has and will continue to do so, and with two such individuals as ourselves focused on the coming business at hand I'm sure all will proceed smoothly with no one being left out of the loop dear. Speaking of which we may wish to come up with a plan for dealing with one rather large individual these two have bumped heads before and it could cause problems now if not dealt with right.

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

Change of subject. Something she herself was on the verge of doing very very shortly. Okay, Ms. Jade may have been young in years, but it seemed she was at least prepared mentally for what was ahead. At least remotely. Thinking over her final words, she actually and surprisingly agreed with her words on the subject.

"Hmmmm. You're actually, right about that Ms. Jade. You're right."

"That could prove to be a slight problem. If he is of course up for playing hero again that is. I've heard of past dealings and, if I were him, I'd steer far way from certain people if you know what I mean. Why entangle yourself in such things again only to receive the same punishment as before?"

"No, No I don't believe he will. I could be wrong. Not a common thing I assure you, but it's possible I could be. I'm curious though, if that is the case with this potentially big problem, any ideas on what could be done to neutralize it?"

[/i]

[Katanna Jade]

Well at the moment he has been making some noise about getting his title back and I've actually been considering letting it happen this time so as to keep him occupied while business is taken care of, and if he does become a problem he almost habitually tries to deal with these things alone which of course places him at an immedieate disadvantage. You could be right about him not being a problem though in the past his actions have been motivated because of personal involvement of family members such as his wife, seeing as how she now wrestles in Chicago, I see no reason for him to step into things unless personally confronted first, so avoiding his involvement may be as simple as avoiding him. All the same we should be ready to have him dealt with by force if necessary, perhaps even targetting friends he may have here to curtail any involvment on his part if it comes to that.

katanna waited to see how Mrs. Moretti would react to the last part of her statement. She was sure there would be violence involved in these dealing before things were done and needed to see how she stood there.

[† Robin R. Moretti †]

Yes. Violence. The ugly side of things she knew all to well of. Though she herself would rather not, she saw the need for such things on occasion.

"I agree with that statement Ms. Jade. For his sake, I hope it doesn't come to that again. Would be nice if things went smoothly from here on out to be quite honest with you. My tolerance for violent encounters is nearly non-existent, so I'll of course do all I can to avoid having to get involved with things of that nature."

"And I'd rather my brother not be involved either if possible. Could cause for unwanted injuries, and/or time away from doing what he's so good at doing. I guess I should speak with the others about this too. To see where their thoughts on it are. Since...We all have to be on the same page for this to work. All...Of us.

"But, I do believe I have overstayed my welcome Ms. Jade. Many, many phone calls to be made so I think I'll be on my way for now. Though I do want to thank you for the hospitality once again. It is appreciated and won't be forgotten I promise."

Standing from her seat, she placed the sunglasses back upon her face as she extended her hand to the young CEO again.

"I'm sure you'll be in touch?"

[Katanna Jade]

Katanna took the offered hand shaking it and smiling as she spoke.

Oh of course I'm sure there is still much that we'll need to discuss in the future about the coming business, so untill then good dau and I hope your stay here goes well.

Katanna did think the young ladies veiews on the possibilty of violence in the coming business were rather cute if not some what naieve, I mean didn't she know what sort of people she was dealing with here. Ah well should be a rather eye opening experience for Mrs. Moretti before things were over. She watched the young woman leave her office before once more picking up the phone and dialing a familiar number and speaking once she heard it picked up on the other end.

Yes she just left a rather interesting young woman she is, but lets not talk business right now why don't you tell me how much you've missed me instead.
