Chapter 2-Testing New Waters
(See Chap. 1 for disclaimer)
Two days after her last match she trained in the morning then meditated a good part of the afternoon before getting ready to meet up with Eric Bischoff. Showing & doing her hair she dressed in black jeans & purple satin top. Throwing on her leather boots & jacket she tossed on her sunglasses heading out.
She pulled into the hotel parking lot just before 6pm. Parking she walked into the lobby heading right for the elevator. She was kind a surprised the front desk didn't try to stop her as she stepped on. Stepping off on the 15th floor she made her way down to the room & knocked. Waited a moment with no answer before she knocked again. After a moment it finally opened and an older woman peeked out.
"um…can I help you?"
"Aye I'm here to see Mr. Bischoff."
"Hmmm he didn't state he requested company"
Jade's eyes tried not to widen behind the sunglasses. "DO I look like that kind of lady?"
"Oh…um….sorry. One moment." The lady shut the door as Jade began tapping her foot in annoyance. Finally the door reopened & the lady side stepped to let her in.
"I am so sorry Ms. Lindsey, I forgot you were coming today."
Jade walked in, looked around then removed her glasses. She heard Eric come from his room.
"Well Jade, good to see you again."
"As I am sure, let me just see what you have to offer."
"Still not one for small talk I see." Walking towards her to get the case sitting on the table near her he stops almost doing a double take. "Didn't you have brown eyes before?"
"Aye special contacts courtesy of Ian's stunt." Eric looked a bit puzzled. "The stuff he sprayed me with nearly blinded me. Luckily the damage to my vision wasn't permanent but sadly my eyes get a little light sensitive at times."
"Oh sorry, I didn't know."
"Aye right…anyways let me see what ya got. I'm sure you're a busy man Mr. Bischoff."
"Right….right." He finally takes his focus off her eyes. Grabbing the case, he pulls out a folder handing it to her. Opening it she begins looking it over. It was basically everything she thought it would be.
"May I take this with me to look it over in more detail?"
"Of course take a few days & then call me to let me know your decision. We can then work on details of finalizing the contract."
"Good, talk to you then." She turns to head out. "Oh & you better watch who your secretary thinks is a call girl next time Eric." She walks out heading back to her car to head home to read things over.
