Title: When Reality Strikes
I laugh when he just grunts at me and goes back to eating. Triple H leans over the table to extend his hand. " I'm Paul it's nice to meet you." I shake his hand and smile. "I'm Erica and sitting next to you is my friend Amber. We're very happy to be here." The rest of the guys introduce themselves and Amber and I sit there in awe for a few minutes watching them. After we're done eating Glenn offers to show us around. We gladly accept because I want to get away from Mark. Glenn takes us around backstage introducing us to different people then offers to take us to his locker room. As we step inside I notice another bag on the floor. " Please tell me you aren't sharing a room with that blockhead?"
Before Glenn can answer Mark walks in from the bathroom. Mark walks over to us and holds out his hand. "I'm sorry I don't think we've been introduced I'm the blockhead." I just laugh at him and go sit on the couch. " Sorry to disappoint you but if you thought I was going to be embarrassed then you have the wrong woman." Mark starts muttering under his breath and starts digging in his bag. The rest of us sit down and talk and only look up when Mark starts yelling. " Damn it I can't find my friggin appointment book and I have no idea where my plane ticket is." Before we can say anything to him he slams out of the room.
I look at Glenn and he is shaking his head. " I swear that man needs someone to follow him around. Every week he loses something or forgets where he has to be." I glance at Amber and shake my head no at her but obviously she doesn't listen. " Erica here is the best personal assistant you could ask for. Her boss treats her like crap. He almost didn't let her come this weekend. She would be perfect." Glenn looks at her then at me with this evil grin on his face. " Hmm that sounds like a great idea. You did put Mark in his place so Erica want me to go to talk to Vince for you?" I place my hand on his arm to stop him from getting up. " I didn't come here tonight trying to get myself for a job. I'm not that kind of woman. I would prefer if you didn't bring this up to anyone especially Mark."
Glenn shakes his head in agreement. " All right I won't say anything." Mark storms back into the room a few minutes later and I take that as our cue to leave. Before we leave Glenn makes us promise to come backstage later in the night. We agree and head out to find out seats. All through the pay-per- view Amber and I cheer our asses off. When Glenn comes out dressed as Kane we stand on our seats. Later on when Mark comes out for the main event I just sit in my seat refusing to cheer. Before we know it the night is over and both of our voices are hoarse. We rush backstage so we don't miss Glenn. When we find him he is talking with Vince.
As we walk over I have a bad feeling. " Here she is boss this is the girl I've been talking to you about." I narrow my eyes at Glenn and he tries to look all innocent. Vince holds out his hand. "It's very nice to meet you Mr. McMahon." He smiles at me. "Please call me Vince and what's your name?" Before I can answer a stagehand comes over to tell Vince they are starting to take everything down for the night. When he walks away Vince looks at me. " My name is Erica Anderson and this is my friend Amber Martin." Vince looks me over for a second.
" So how old are you Erica?" I laugh at his question. " I know I look young but I'm 25 sir." Vince laughs at my response. "Well I've heard from Glenn here that you handled the deadman pretty well. Mark is in desperate need of a personal assistant; he just doesn't know it yet. Would you be interested in the job? We could try you out on a trial basis. If it doesn't work out then you walk away with pretty much a paid vacation." I take a minute to think it over. My dream has always been to work for the WWE and I've always wanted to travel. On the down side I would have to deal with Mark. Vince must sense my hesitation. " Erica I can assure you your pay will be double what you make now." Damn he sure knows where to hit the hardest, in the wallet.
" If I were to accept this job I would need a few days to get my affairs in order." Vince tells me that's no problem. " How about I give you five days to get everything ready? Then I will send you a plane ticket to meet us in the town we are in and we can have a meeting to discuss everything that Mark will be doing that week so you can make sure everything goes smoothly." I tell him that's fine and shake his hand. He hands me a card and tells me to call the office tomorrow morning to give them all of my information. When he walks away I turn to Glenn and start hitting him in the chest. " I thought I told you I didn't want you saying anything. Do you have any idea how bad this is going to look? I show up for one night and all of a sudden I have a job?"
" Erica calm down. No one is going to say anything to you and if they do I will take care of it all right. Now go home and start getting ready. I will see you in five days. Trust me get as much rest as you can get because once you start with this company your always on the go. It was nice meeting you Amber." Glenn waves and walks down the hall. I turn to Amber and she starts freaking out. " I can't believe he got you a job that's so awesome. I'm so happy for you."
Five days later
As I pull up to the arena in my rental I take a minute to think back over the past few days. I told my boss I quit and he threw a fit but I didn't care. I had to promise Amber I would call as much as I could. It only took me about two days to get everything ready and I used the rest of the time freaking out about having to work with Mark. I pull my pass out of my bag. It had come in the envelope with the rest of my paperwork. I had already looked over Mark's itinerary and just needed to ask him and Vince a few questions.
I walk in past security and ask for directions to Vince's office. When I knock on the door Vince answers it himself. " Glad to see you got here ok." He turns back to talk to the person in the room. " Well your personal assistant is here. I think you two will get along famously." As I step into the room Mark stands up out of his chair and glares at me then at Vince. " Oh hell no. I want her gone and I want her gone now." Well things are off to a great start.
