Chapter 2

As Stephanie asks John to take a seat across from her desk, she calls her secretary.

"Liddy, can you ask Shane to come to my office?"

The secretary obliges and Stephanie returns her attention back to John.

"The reason I wanted to talk to you is because we'll need your help in finding a new diva to play the role of your personal valet." Stephanie informs him.

John, who was slumping in his chair before, now sits up, intrigued by the news.

"I know you had asked if Victoria could fill that role, but she's already established her own character. We need to spice things up a bit. I feel bringing in a new face will do just that." John listens closely as Stephanie continues to explain what they would like to have him do.

John's interest in Victoria goes beyond just business. Both have been together as a couple for months now and she has been pressuring him to get her involved with his character's storyline for some time. Although hesitant, John approached Stephanie weeks ago about the possibility of working with Victoria in a new angle. BUT, the thought of working with someone new intrigues John as well.

After Stephanie finishes explaining what lies ahead in the future, Stephanie's secretary pages her over the speaker phone.

"Ms. McMahon, I have Shane here to see you."

"Great. Send him in."

Stephanie and John both get up from their seats as Stephanie shakes John's hand and shows him to the door.

"Thank you so much John for working with us on this. We should have somebody selected in the next few weeks."

"No problem" John responds, "I'm looking forward to meeting this new gal." Again, John with a kid in a candy store look on his face.

As John leaves, he nods over to Shane who is waiting to see Stephanie.

"Yo Shane, what's up?" He says.

"Yo, man, how's it going?" Shane responds nodding back and smiling with a cheesy salesman like smile. Both men trying to play it cool, John a little better at it than Shane.

When Shane enters Stephanie's office he looks somewhat perturbed. He crosses his arms across his chest and asks, "So what's up Steph?"

Stephanie leans back in her chair ready to find out who exactly the woman is waiting for him in the lobby.

'There's a very striking young lady waiting for you down stairs in the lobby."

"Yeah I know, my secretary told me. Said her name was Tamako or something like that. I have no idea who she is. Probably some fan trying to get up here to meet me." Shane says arrogantly, then stops, replaying what Stephanie had just said.

"Wait, did you say, 'striking'? As in hot?" Shane asks, letting his arms hang down to his sides.

Stephanie rolls her eyes. "Uh, need I remind you, you have a wife" she says.

Shane looks on ignoring the comment. Stephanie shakes her head completely annoyed with Shane's one track mind. Then she continues, "Yes, I guess you could say 'hot', I noticed she was very exotic looking, dare I say better looking than most of the divas on our roster."

"Really? Guess I should go find out who this chick is." Shane says with a mischievous smile.

"Why don't we have her come up here right now? If there's any potential at all, maybe she can be our new WWE diva for John." Stephanie tells Shane, and then asks her secretary to go get Tomoko.

Downstairs, as John exits the elevators he sees Tomoko still waiting in the lobby.

"Ms. Ito, Shane will see you now." The receptionist calls out getting Tomokos' last name wrong of course.

Tomoko looks up and places a copy of the latest edition of WWE Raw magazine back on the table. She straightens her dress and tries hard to fix her hair. John can't help but to stare at her. You could almost call her quirky, but in the sexiest way possible. John has never been so enamored with someone like this before. As his eyes remained fixed on her every movement, she looks up, catching him staring at her. He quickly looks away, but then looks back at her with a grin, knowing full well he's been caught. She returns a smile and then heads into the elevators.

As Stephanie's secretary leads Tomoko to her office, Shane awaits anxiously inside. When the door opens and Tomoko enters, a smile disappears from Shane's face. He's seen this woman before, but there is no way in hell she could be here, in the United States. Stephanie goes to shake Tomoko's hand.

"Hi, Tomoko is it? I'm Stephanie McMahon."

They shake hands and Tomoko also bows to Stephanie as is custom in her homeland of Japan. Shane stands by not moving, the wheels in his head spinning as he tries to recall why she looks so familiar. Then it all comes back to him.

While Shane was doing business in Japan, he held the company of many women. Prostitution in Japan was a lucrative business, more so than in any other country. Many women from all over the world travel to Japan in order to provide for their families, save money for college, or simply to gain a higher standard of living. Most of the women were considered 'high class' and the wealthy business men who came to Japan were willing to pay a high price for them. Shane was no exception. He'd met Tomoko after several weeks in Tokyo at a strip club. She was a dancer and provided 'special' services for those who paid. Shane couldn't help but to notice her and quickly became one of her regular customers. Never did he ask, who she was, where she came from, why she did what she did. He didn't care. He was there to have fun and screw hot women. Traveling overseas had its benefits, or so he thought until now.

As Shane stood frozen, not bothering to shake Tomoko's hand, Stephanie looked at her brother, wandering what was going on behind his now widened eyes. His trance was finally broken.

"Listen Steph, why don't you excuse us for a second. We need to talk privately." Shane told Stephanie while maintaining eye contact with Tomoko.

Stephanie looked at her brother with more curiosity than ever before. Although they were in her office, she obliged Shane's wishes. She'd be sure to grill Shane about the identity of the woman after their meeting. If all goes well, she hoped Tomoko would be the WWE's next diva superstar.
