Prologue
Another loss, another night where she could only watch as the crowd continued to turn on her and her career.
To say Bayley was sick of it would be an understatement. She was tired of trying her hardest and getting booed by the crowd, the lack of support backstage certainly didn't help much either.
I need to do something to get them back on my side Bayley thought resolutely, She had just walked through the curtain following her match as an idea struck her That's it! I'll just talk to Stephanie McMahon tomorrow and see if she can do anything about it. with that in mind Bayley continued to the locker room and prepared what she would say.

Stephanie McMahon was having an awful day. It all started when she got the news that both Dean Ambrose and the Miz would be out of action until further notice, and got worse when she was told that another storyline was being put in jeopardy by an uncooperative performer.
She was not happy, so when Bayley came barging into her office with her sickening smile and tried to hug her, she snapped. "I don't have time for you right now." Stephanie growled as Bayley took a couple alarmed steps away from her. "Sorry." Bayley said meekly as Stephanie continued to glare at her. "What do you want?" Stephanie asked in exasperation "And make it quick." She added angrily.
Bayley hastily nodded before responding, "I don't like how I'm being booked." She came right out and said it, she was tired of being overlooked in favour of Alexa and Sasha. "What do you want ***me*** to do about it?" The older woman asked coldly, clearly angry at Bayley's statement. "I don't know! Just do something different, so the crowd will stop booing me." Bayley said already regretting going to Stephanie about her problem.
"And what gives you the right to demand anything from me?" Stephanie snarled as she took a step towards Bayley, her finger outstretched in a pointing gesture. "I should have you fired for demanding ANYTHING from me!" Stephanie yelled.
Bayley quickly began to really rethink her decision. "Please don't!" Bayley yelled suddenly in fear at the thought of being fired from her dream job. "I'm sorry I brought it up!" She added walking to the office door.
"Get back here." Stephanie almost growled before a sick smile made it's way onto her face. "Give me one reason I shouldn't fire you on the spot?" She asked almost too calm as Bayley looked towards her desperately. "I'll do anything!" Bayley nearly screamed, her voice breaking as her eyes blurred with tears. "Anything?" Stephanie asked with a seductive lilt to her words. "Anything!" Bayley reaffirmed the desperation in her voice growing. "How about we make a deal? You do absolutely anything I ask you to and you stay employed, but if you disobey me at any point you'll be out the door before you can say the word 'hug'." Stephanie said a sadistic twinkle in her eye as she stared the crying hugger down. "Deal!" Bayley cried not even thinking as she dropped to her knees, her body shaking with sobs as tears dripped down her cheeks.
"I'm glad we could come to an agreement." Stephanie says before breaking out into almost maniacal laughter. Bayley could only sit on the floor and try and calm herself down as relief finally washed over her followed quickly by anger then fear what did I just agree to? she thought as she looked up at Stephanie McMahon. "With that out of the way, meet me in my office tomorrow." Stephanie said as she brushed by Bayley and exited the office.
"What just happened?" Bayley asked herself, questions and doubts flowing through her head as she sat in the darkness of Stephanie's now empty office.
