Following This... The past few weeks had been rough to say the least for Laura De'Icco. The news and realizations she had come into fruition in her mind were plaguing her each minute of every day. For the better part of a year she had dedicated herself as well as sacrificed her career as a wrestler to one man and something of a movement he believed in, as well as convinced her into doing as well...Cross Genevese...And the Familia Regime.
But at this very moment? That was already beginning to shift itself into the realm of the things of the past. No more. No more would she stand by and push her dreams and aspirations to the back burner for him. NO more would she sacrifice for HIM. No more would she take orders, requests or even opinions from him...Nor his "Familia". She now was officially on her own in her mind, and very determined to make her mark in the professional wrestling business, whether it be managing still or wrestling? That was still to be determined as of this moment. But there was some last "mission" she sought to accomplish BEFORE her official resignation as Familia manager. And today was the day FOR that mission to be carried out.
After a call contacting Miss Summers concerning the contract for the upcoming APW World Title shot at the "Karma & Effect" showcase, both lovely women make their way to the office of Richard Hugh, both draped in their usual business attire as they indulge in casual conversation along the way. Once they arrive at the door of the Co-General Managers office, Laura stops and pauses, turning to Sapphire and speaks...[glow=red,2,300] Well Miss Summers, here we are. Let's get this thing taken care of as soon as possible before anything steps in our way. So you ready?[/glow]

Sapphire smiled as she spoke to Mrs. De'Icco. This was indeed turning out to be a very good day.
Yes I'm ready Mrs. De'Icco. This will be the perfect thing to cap off my signing of Mr. Cross as my first client here at APW.

Laura merely smiles at Sapphire. She was a refreshing person to be around despite her current mindstate. Remind her so much of herself some 8 months ago. She merely smiled at the young woman as she proceeded to knock on the door of the Co-GM's office.
[glow=red,2,300]Let's just hope we get no resistant about the whole thing from Mr. Hugh. I know for a fact Mr. Steele would try to block this thing if we went to him so...I think this is our best shot. Well...Here goes...[/glow]
With that, the faint sound of Mr. Hugh's voice can be heard from the other side of the door, prompting Laura to push it ajar as she allows for Miss Summers to enter first, following close behind, immediately making eye contact with Mr. Hugh behind his desk...
[glow=red,2,300]Mr. Hugh? We have some very important business to discuss concerning your current APW World Champion and his first defense coming up at the Karma & Effect Pay Per View. IF you have the time to discuss of course?[/glow]

I notice the two women enter my office. Two of the managers here in APW and too very good ones from what I have heard. I motion my hand towards the two empty seats in front of my desk as I speak.
Of course Ms. Summers, Ms. De'Icco. It's always good to see our management making themselves known and being useful to their clients. Have a seat ladies. Now what can I do for you two on this day?

Sapphire smiles brightly at Mr. Hugh as she starts to speak.
Well Mr. Hugh we are here about the upcoming Karma & Effect pay-per-view. Seems a bit of business has come up that required both Mrs. De'Icco and myself. If this were to go through the way we hope, I would think that it should do wonders for oh say, selling out the house as it were. Considering the magnitude of the business at hand.

Selling out you say? Ladies you have my undivided attention. Please tell me more. I'm very interested in what you two have in mind.
I lean back in my seat as I fold my hands in front of me, waiting to hear this potentially great idea concerning the coming pay per view.

After a quick glance in Sapphire's direction, Laura turns to Mr. Hugh with a stern look upon her face. Then...
[glow=red,2,300]Mr. Hugh, I'm sure you understand the need for top quality entertainment as far as the top talent here in APW is concerned. I'm sure the buy rates as well as the caliber of matches presented on our grandest stages is one of yours and Mr. Steele's concerns here as well. That is why Miss Summers and myself are here. To ensure that the coming World Title defense of one Mr. Vegas is everything that it should be when considering the caliber athlete he is.[/glow]

Sapphire nodding her head in agreement with Laura speaks up as Mrs. De'Icco finishes speaking.
I agree with everything Mrs. De'Icco just said, and would only like to add that we believe for this title defense to be as successful as possible that, it is our firm belief that his opponent should be of the same caliber as Mr. Vegas himself is.

I see where this is headed and I am already ahead of you ladies. Mr. Steele and myself have been attempting to determine who would be best suited as well as deserving of that opportunity. Alas we have come to no conclusion as of yet. Nothing definitive yet anyway. But I take it you two ladies have someone in mind? Ms. Summers doesn't have any "official" clients as of yet though does she?

[glow=red,2,300]No actually she doesn't Mr. Hugh but...This act alone may ensure her of one very worthy of the opportunity you just spoke of sir. Mr. Jason Cross.[/glow]

Now the two ladies had my attention most definitely. I've heard of the storied rivalry between these two men over the past year and it's explosiveness at times. I can already see where this is headed, yet I choose to allow for them to present it themselves as I nod my head slightly to them.
I see. Go on.

Sapphire looks to Mrs. De'Icco first and receiving a polite nod speaks up to answer Mr. Hugh
It's true as you stated Mr. Hugh that I don't have any official clients, but I assure you that I'm here now with Mr. Cross's full blessing to pursue this for him. Setting that aside though imagine how well a match of this magnitude would be received by the fans. Those loyal to APW surely know of the storied rivalry between these two men, and I'm sure were they to catch wind that these two would once again meet in the ring, with something as prestigious as the APW world title on the line. Well I imagine the tickets to the show alone would be sold out in record time, as everyone would want to see what could easily be the most defining moment in this rivalry, it's final act.

I'm impressed ladies. Very impressed. I actually thought of this particular match up myself but thought it may become too violent in the weeks leading to the culmination of such a signing. But hearing your words concerning your respective "clients"? I don't see how I can't go with this decision. I agree. This would be THE greatest chance for a show stealing performance surrounding the APW World Title. I do believe this could be one of the biggest matches in APW's short history.

Laura smiles brightly. Not the usual smile people were accustomed to seeing from her...No...Something more devious eminates from her facial features as she realizes the first part of her acts of vengeance against Cross Genevese had been signed, sealed and delivered.
[glow=red,2,300]Excelllent Mr. Hugh. If possible, I'd like to have that document official by the end of the work day? Ms. Summers and myself would like to begin preparing our clients for the showcase later this month as soon as possible of course. [/glow]

Very well Miss De'Icco. That I can assure you will be done by the end of this working day. No worries. It is good to have such a thing out of the way this early. Now the remaining showcase will fall into place effortlessly I hope. I'd like to thank you both for your contribution to this particular subject ladies. It has been very helpful to Mr. Steele and myself. Now, is there anything else in particular I can help you ladies out with today? Or are we done here for the most part?

Sapphire still smiling stands up at that point.
No I believe that is all I had to discuss with you at this point Mr. Hugh. Mrs. De'Icco, Mr. Hugh thank-you for your time, I do hope all such business negotiations go as well in the future.
After shaking hands with Mr. Hugh Sapphire turns to leave but stops momentarily and speaks to Mrs. De'Icco
Oh and Mrs. De'Icco I wish you good luck in your endeavor as well.
Sapphire couldn't help but smile as she left the office of Mr. Hugh, this news would make the meeting with Jason Cross later tonight go even better than she had hoped.

I turn my head and nod to a departing Miss Summers for a few seconds before turning back to Miss De'Icco with a smile as well as a look of confusion on my face.
I'm sorry Miss De'Icco, is there something else you need today?

Laura sits up in her chair for a few seconds, her eyes downcasted toward the floor in front of her. She then speaks as she raises her head slowly making eye contact with Mr. Hugh...
[glow=red,2,300]Yes Mr. Hugh, you can help me. At least I hope so. If not I'd be forced to find a way to get it done myself. I am in need of the opportunity to "teach someone a lesson" if you will. Someone I have recently had a few problems with. And the only way I can see for me to legally do it without ending up in some holding cell is to step into the ring with them. Seeing as how they are part of the active roster here. Can you possibly help me with that problem Mr. Hugh?[/glow]

Well Miss De'Icco, I'm sorry to hear of these problems you've been having. Though I don't know what those problems are or who they are with, you have certainly proven your worth since coming here to APW months ago. Both with managing the Familia and with the business conducted here today. What exactly do you need?

She lets out a long sigh as she replies...Staring dead center into Mr. Hugh's eyes...
[glow=red,2,300]Destiny...Knight...Me...Her...Karma & Effect. 20 minutes. Iron Rose match up. I'm sure Sarah won't mind the copyright infringement. [/glow]
