Chapter 3:
*Willow's POV*
By the end of the show, I need to return to the hotel which I know for sure that I am late for my curfew.
"Willow!" I hear Stephanie calls out, still angrily from what happened.
"Ms. McMahon, I really need to get back to the hotel," I said to her in a hurry.
"Do you swear up and down that you did not know that Shane is back?!" she practically screamed out of anger.
The screaming reminds me of him, but a calm look is on my face. "Yes Ms. McMahon. I swear up and down on my life that I didn't know that Shane was going to be here. May I leave now?"
"Yes you may!"
She should be fine once she has a good night's sleep.
I quickly head towards the limo in a run that I accidently bump into someone.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!" I apologized quickly, blushing in embarrassment.
"It's okay really," the familiar voice of Shane speaks.
The blush grows more when I look up to see my childhood crush. He's smiling down at me looking handsome like he always did.
"Willow, isn't it?" he asked.
"Y-Yes, like the Willow tree," I answered, stuttering a little.
"I like it, it's actually really pretty."
His comment makes me blush and smile up to him. "My apologizes Mr. McMahon-"
"Call me Shane, Willow," he assures me.
"Shane," I speak his name to him, "my apologies, I really need to get back to the hotel now."
"You sure? I would like to get to know you more," he says as I walk past him.
That made me frozen. Shane McMahon wants to get to know me?
A smile appears on my face when I turn to him. "You pick the time and place, but tonight is not a good night for me."
"Okay, I'll tell you tomorrow then," he smiles back.
"See you then."
I quickly head towards the limo, mentally and physically prepared for probably the biggest punishment that I'm going to receive for tonight.
"You're late again," the familiar male voice speaks this time in a growl.
*The Next Day*
*No One's POV*
Stephanie, Shane, and Vince are all in Vince's office to discuss what is the next step for having Shane in the company.
"Where's your assistant Stephanie?" Vince noticed the absence of Willow.
"I don't know," she says truthfully.
Shane got worried of the mysterious female when his sister calls for her on her cellphone. She place it on speaker.
"Hello Stephanie McMahon's office!" Willow answers in a hurried whisper.
"Willow, it's me."
"Ms. McMahon! I'm so sorry! I was about to call you that I'm on my way now."
"Okay Willow, next time-" Stephanie was cut off by Willow hanging up quickly.
"What's going on Stephanie?" Vince asked sternly at his daughter.
"I don't know," Stephanie was shocked at the sudden hang up.
"Is Willow always like this?" Shane asked, sounding worried.
"No, Willow's always on time."
"Backstage crew," Vince pulls out a walkie talkie. "Report the whereabouts of Willow Ramsey, Stephanie's assistant."
"She just arrived to hair and makeup. It appears that she just got a shower here in the building."
The response surprised the family. What is the Ramsey girl hiding?
"Make sure that she arrives to my office."
"Yes sir."
"Easy dad, I can take care of her if you like," Shane offers.
"No, she's my assistant so I need to take care of her," Stephanie steps in.
"As for Willow Ramsey, I want both of you to watch after her," Vince steps in like the boss. "If she isn't following orders or anything, she's going to be fired."
That made Shane's heart stung a little.
A knock appears at the door.
"Come in!" Vince says to whoever is at the door.
"You wanted to see me sir?" Willow asked softly, entering in.
Shane looks to see the mysterious beauty and once again in the same clothing as she has been wearing.
"Please sit down."
Willow sits down in the seat between Shane and Stephanie. Shane is looking at her in wonder.
"How long have you been working for us?" Vince asked her.
"A little over a week sir."
"And why aren't you having new clothing?"
"Because I have other responsibilities for the money that I will be using from the future checks that I will be receiving."
"Are one of these responsibilities gettin new clothing?"
"No sir. Clothing is considered as a want while the responsibilities are needs."
There was a silence among the cool and collected young woman.
"I see," Vince mumbles under his breath. "Well, I'm going to have Stephanie and Shane be your bosses for now on because Shane needs training and preparing for his match against Mark."
"Understood sir."
"Now, go back to work."
"Yes sir and thank you sir," she stands up and leaves the office.
" 'Clothing is considered as a want not a need'?" Shane finally asked, confused of her statement.
"Something's wrong with her," Stephanie realizes it fully.
"Keep an eye on that kid," Vince orders his children.
"Yes father."
