“I need you to prepare, Ash. I need you to prepare like you’ve never prepared before. No more mistakes, it’s time to take that title off of her once and for all . Trish’s big bargaining chip is that WWE Championship. If you can take that off of her… it’s going to make my life easier.”
Stephanie still has Ashley in the conference room they’re alone together.
Ashley Graham looks Stephanie in the eyes, “I’m going to do to her, exactly what I did to Paige when she was under your nerves. I’m going to smash Trish. It’s not a matter of ‘If’ I win anymore. At Fastlane, I’m ending it! I’m going to be the champion you never allowed me to be. In a lot of ways, you held me back. At Fastlane get yourself another manager to manage your office. Im done doing the dirty work!” Ashley responds coldly.
Stephanie is quite stunned by Ashley’s response.
Ashley Graham stands up.
“Now if you’ll please excuse me, I’m done being cooped up here in this damn office. I got a match to win!”
Suddenly Paige walks into the conference room.
Behind Paige is Stephanie’s same assistant who’s clearly given up on stopping people from barging into the conference room.
“Well hello there!” Paige mischievously announces.
Ashley and Stephanie catch each other’s gaze. It looks like a dialogue going on as they communicate silently between each other. Sure they’re off to a rough start but they’ve been around each other long enough to speak silently to each other with just a look. Shockingly, they come to an agreement. A simple nod from Stephanie to Ashley is all that was needed. With that, the exchange is over. Ashley walks past Paige and she leaves the room.
“You bunch must be xmen because I’m pretty sure that was telekinesis the way you two communicate!” Paige jokes.
Just before Ashley walks out; Stephanie makes one more request, “Ashley! Your fired as an office manager. Your last job though is get rid of my assistant. I want her out as soon as I’m done with Paige.”
Ashley nods in agreement.
She exits the room, leaving the two arch rivals alone in the conference room.
“What can I do for you Paige?” Stephanie finally announces. “You don’t have an appointment with me Paige but I’m going to make an exception for you.”
“Blimey, I must have caught you on a good day then! Let me tell you what I had on my mind….”
