Cami looks up at the building feeling nervous. She got the call from one of the EOV board of directors executive assistant the week before saying that they were interested in her for a job. The lure of working in the wrestling business was still there, a fiery urge deep inside her. Despite her still suffering from her post traumatic stress of being kidnapped and tortured by her Twin, Catarina and her then boyfriend Trey Baxter. For weeks Cat had pretended to be her, tormenting her friends.
She still loved this sport more than anything. Despite her falling out with Emi and Gabe. Despite that she how she had seemed to drop off the planet. Leaving MPW, deleted her twitter and email accounts. Changing her phone number. She thought it was best for everyone to just start fresh. Go home to Chicago. Use her certification. Then she got a call from Bliss.
She'd gone back to Vegas in secrecy. not contacting any of her old acquaintances. Staying in a hotel while helping Kahlan to get her knee back in training shape. Once she'd been back to using her knee, she'd gone back to Chicago again.
Then that call last week.
Miss James. We have had nothing but good recommendations about you and would like to have you in to discuss potential job openings here in EOV. Please call us back as soon as possible.
The woman's voice had seemed overly cheery or maybe it was just Cami's new found pessimism making her think that.
She takes a deep breath and steps inside, finding the right floor and going up.
She steps out of the elevator and sees a face she hadn't seen in a very long time.
"Kuk... I didn't expect to..."
She immediately steps off the elevator. Tommy Rowan, formally known as Kuk Killswitch, makes an awkward move to hug her. It's forced but she hasn't given up hope that maybe they could at least get on better terms enough to be friends.
She looks up and gives him a warm friendly smile but he doesn't miss that haunted look in her eye. A look he knows all to well. One that speaks volumes about pain and suffering.
"Ya I didn't think I would be here either. Had something I needed to take care of. Your interview is soon?"
She looks at her phone in her hand, notices the time and nods her head.
"At 2."
"I won't keep you but we're still meeting for coffee right?"
"I wouldn't miss it."
She goes on tip toes to reach his cheek where she gives him a quick peck before continuing down the hall.
Don't turn around, don't turn around... fuck....
She turns around against her own inner voices and flashes Tommy a smile before he boards the elevator. He waves and she continues into the office.
The woman at the desk looks up at her with question.
"Cami James. I have an interview..."
"Yes of course. They're expecting you. Go right in."
It's the same voice she had been talking to the last few days. She takes a deep breath, straightens her skirt and takes the handle. The group of men and women seated at the table all look up at her entrance.
"Miss James..." The one closest to the door stands, takes her small hand in his larger one and shakes it. He then points to an empty seat beside him. "It's a great pleasure to have you here. We're ecstatic that you've come so far to speak with us."
"I was just in Chicago. Not really that far at all."
"OH, I was under the impression you were in Vegas..."
"No. I've been home since I left MPW."
"Well doesn't matter. We would like to offer you a position here. If you read the contract there in front of you it will give you all the details."
Cami notices a navy blue folder in front of her. She opens it and begins to read before her jaw drops open.
"You want me to do what?!"
