Ring Of Fire (Candi)

[Lilith]

Continued From A Very Hectic Suite Selection

"BITCH!..."

Lilith was pissed off big time. She curses out after long since been dragged away from Amanda's suite by Candi Cane. She huffs out in annoyance while sitting back in one of the recliner chairs within Candi's personal suite. Seems she thought Lilith would be better handled at the time being, AWAY from Amanda. Truth be told Lilith was so enraged earlier she couldn't have left Amanda's suite if she wanted to. Her feet had been frozen in place by sheer rage. How DARE Amanda get off doing that bullshit! Lilith was just on the verge of killing a bitch, she really was. She leans forward in the recliner, planting her feet on the ground and resting her forearms against her thighs and knees. Slowly she reaches into her right pocket and pulls out one of the keepsakes... she didn't find at Jon-boys house. It was one that she remembered having pretty much the whole time through.... the ring. Lilith holds it up between her index and middle fingers while rolling her tongue around the inside of her cheek.

"Ring of fire huh....

Candi? Why did you agree to work with Amanda? I mean in all honesty how could you handle this shit. You already went through one federations hell, you want to make it an even two or something? I'm not trying to sound insulting here but Jesus Christ.... did I miss something?"

She stares at the ring the entire time she speaks. It was, THE ring. The wedding ring that no doubt Jonny Pyro had given her. The oddest thing was she had no memory of how she got it, not just the proposal... but how she had it on her. It just... was there. Lilith rolls it around in her palm a bit, staring at it intently. If anything would bring back memories you'd think it was this...

But nothing. No memories would come, no tears would shed. Why? Lilith really didn't care, at all. She just... didn't. Yeah she was a real bitch. Could care less about remembering him but was irate his money went to someone else instead of her. Doesn't sound to good does it? Guess that's how somethings go huh. She closes her fist on the ring and breathes in deeply. Not like she didn't have more important things to think about anyway.

Like her job, the new company, a new place....

And whoever had tried to hunt her down.

"It's like I'm guilty by association for fuck sake.... that's the kind of shit I'd do to someone else..

......

Karma... please...... tch, as if."

Lilith grumbles before sliding the ring back into her pocket. She lowers her head a bit and clenches up her entire face with force. Amanda will pay, Lilith didn't care how... she didn't care why and she could give a fuck right now less about when. All she knew was Amanda WOULD PAY. It's that God damned simple. You don't screw the queen out of her rightful domain, that money belonged to her. She earned it, she was married to Jon-boy. As if marriage was anything short of two people using each other for various things. Reality check.

[Candice Angel]

$-This was never going to stop. Candice knew this already. It would just go on and on and on and on for the duration of the season. Perhaps even longer. These two women literally hated each other's very existence it seemed and needed to be kept as far away from one another as humanly possible. Just the mere mention of the other would send one of them into extended venomous rants resulting in insults the like she had never seen before. To say that these ladies were bitter enemies would have been the understatement of the year.-$

"Why? Why do anything else is how I'd reply to that Lilith. Think about it for a moment..."

$-Candi lets out a long breath, leaning against the lovely office desk a few feet away, folding her arms across her body as she continues with her reply...-$

"I literally busted my ass back in Toronto. Trying to ensure that things were ran fairly as possible and that the company as a whole would continue to grow into something truly groundbreaking as the years passed on. Only to have what happen?..."

"The two greedy bitch sisters that I was basically forced to work with during that entire situation screw me out of what is rightfully mine just as much as it is theirs. I made a promise to my father. We all did. That we'd do what we could to ensure that his company wasn't some fly by night promotion. I can admit...We failed. Horribly. There's nothing I can do about that now I'm afraid except...Move on and make him proud of me in another capacity. Starting over from scratch so to speak. I just couldn't walk away from the business that easily. And Amanda, who's a VERY good friend of mine, showed me that. "

[Lilith]

"Tch...

I tried to make sure FCW survived too. In the end there was to much backlash from the past around to survive in period. I blame Amanda for most of that by the way....

You know.. there's a limit to how much one person can take Candi. I don't know anything about your sisters but it seems you reached that limit with them, that'd be why you're here and not in Toronto anymore. As for me?

I despise Amanda, in case you didn't catch any of the subtle hints along the way. She despises me, we're even... in that aspect. Outside of that she screwed me in my own company, something I built from the ground up. I still owe her much much payback.... and now that she is stealing my fuckin' money I want all the more to hand it out swiftly. How'd you feel if some bitch tried to take credit for your work.... oh..

Guess you kinda DID have that happen....

Then you get my point."

Lilith tilts her head up and looks at Candi before looking around the suite for a minute. God damn. This was a beautiful suite... something about that pissed Lilith off. She thinks about it for a moment and quickly realizes what that something would be. Obviously as an assistant... Lilith isn't getting no suite, Mandy pointed that out VERY clearly back at the bar. Bitch ass fuck-.... tch. She huffs out in annoyance before standing up and dusting herself off. She needed to go shopping, no matter though.... had a good amount of money thanks to Jon-boy. Even though she should have MORE OF IT MIND YOU! Not to mention she'd be getting paid for working for Candi. Although she knew she KNEW Amanda would royally SCREW her when it comes to paychecks. Bitch. She flips her hair back and walks from the front room into the kitchen slowly. Looking around she decides it'd be best not to really intrude on Candi's personal living space so.... she walks back into the front room and stretches slowly.

"You got a phone Candi? I'm going to order in, I'm hungry."

[Candice Angel]

$-Candice smiled brightly. All of that bitching and complaining must have her famished. She merely turned her body slightly, nodding her head downward towards the phone sitting atop of her desk behind her...-$

"Right there sweetie, order away. But don't think that I feel "screwed over" as you put it..."

$-Rising from her sitting position on the desk, she steps aside allowing Lilith room enough to make the coming phone call all the while continuing on...-$

"More like...Being a victim of useless animosity...A victim of having to work with individuals who are blinded by their own positions as well as foolish enough to believe that hard work and dedication to the people who work for and with you isn't necessary to keep a company well and alive. That's all. *Sigh* But hindsight is 20/20 I guess. What are you ordering anyway?"

[Lilith]

"Hm...

No offense meant..

But I thought blondes had more fun Candi."

Lilith grins a bit as she picks up the phone, wait.... what WAS she ordering? God damn it. She hadn't exactly memorized any take out numbers in her life time. She barely remembered one.... but there was a big down side to ordering from there. With a heavy sigh Lilith begins dialing the number. After a couple rings.... it begins.

"Yes? Yes? This is Shane's High Shanghai Take Out, how may I take order today yes?"

".... God help me..

Yeah uh... I'd like to make an order for delivery. Uh.... Candi where are we?"

Lilith looks back over to Candi with a dumbstruck ass "wha" look on her face. She had no fuckin' clue of the address of the Tower whatsoever. It's at this time the FCC would like to remind our viewers Lilith Creighton's opinions and more then likely forthcoming comments are not those, of our staff or GCW's personal belief systems. Thank you. Suddenly the voice on the other line kicks in.

"You want Candy yeah? Yeah we have candy yeah candy, candied shrimp candied ham candi-"

"No... no I don't want candy, no candy. I was talking to a friend-"

"Oh yeah yeah I understand I understand I have wife she uh she in the menopause. Her friend candy too yeah, is fine no ashamed. I give you candy platter yeah candy be big friend for big lady."

"...... Not even God hates me this much....

Look, boy. I don't want candied ham. I don't want candied yams, I will not eat them raw. I will not eat them on a seesaw. I cannot will not eat them on a bench. I would not shall not feed them to a bar wench. I do not want your candied hams!

I want a God damn curry special. I don't care what you put in the crap. Curry prawns, curry rice, curry pork curry beef I don't care. You could kill a delivery bitch and curry his ass up if you want. Just curry it and send it. We're.... fuck where are we.

We're downtown Chicago... uh, 1145? I think? Candi? Yeah... 1145 Madison St."

"Ah yeah ah okay I curry it up for you miss candy yeah? Yeah be there in hour, hour."

"......."

Lilith hangs the phone up and clenches her jaw tightly. My... GOD. Now you saw that shit I did NOTHING alright. I coulda hit so many fucking points my head spun. She breathes in slowly and nods her head, ok... she was ok. It was allllll ok.

[Candice Angel]

"You don't like ham like...At all do you? You know it would have been easier to just order chicken."

$-Glancing Lilith over once or twice, observing the mere make up of her body she smiles before going on...-$

"I'm sure you're quite used to such a diet. With a body like that you've gotta be a meat eater. You sure you don't want to cancel that order and just go out and find the nearest KFC and just eat until you can't anymore?*Giggles* I'm just teasing sweetie. You look just fine. I'm sure you'll get more than your share of "advances" during the season. Who knows, maybe you'll find another husband, I can hook Amanda up with someone to keep her attention and I can actually have enough peace and quiet around this place to get something done. Hm, I think I'll strive to make that happen too.

[Lilith]

"Hey you tease

But I do a lot to keep myself like this. If I just did nothing but work out I'd look all miss universe body building nasty and shit, a good part of my training is eating so this ass

Stays black.

You heard me! I have to stay up to certain standards you know. Everyone thinking I'm this all consuming slut is good for a bitchy rep after all, I just need them to continue and being dumb enough to believe I'd lower myself to sleep with the scum I used to get paid to rip on you know?"

[Candice Angel]

"................................"

$-Now Candice had heard quite a bit in her day. Everything from men spewing from the mouth about how they could please her all night when most of them can barely even SLEEP all night. To how much smarter her sisters were than her when the fact was she was part of a team of individuals who were on the verge of changing the industry for the better right before their very eyes and...Well...Weren't. To people really did care about one another. No they really do............................................Bullshit. ALL of it was. But this? This was just something on a whole other level. Keep her ass black? And she was...Serious...-$

"O...K...Black ass...Yyyyyeah...Sure Lilith. Umm...Any more fables you wish to tell before we discuss how things are going to run around here once we get started?"

[Lilith]

"Hey... don't hate. I go through a lot of work to stay fit, just like I'm sure you do. I'm proud of my ass, it's a key point in people hating me but blowing substantial....

Uh...

Money, on seeing me. Know what I mean?"

Lilith stretches a bit and walks around while looking around a bit. Get things started? Bah. She didn't like doing work but it was what it was. Sitting back down in the recliner she looks over at Candi before tapping her fingers on her thigh. Amanda was going to be gone for a couple days after all.... technically, that meant Candi was in charge of the very new company. Which would indirectly mean...

Lilith was the executive assistant to the CEO of Global Championship Wrestling.

......

She grins slightly before leaning back in the recliner, propping her feet up on the foot rest that comes up when you hit the lever. Alright, that was something right? Executive assistant to the CEO.... Tch. No matter how she tried, Lilith couldn't help but slightly be pissed that even with working under Candi and not Amanda....

Not being in charge? Was insane.

[Candice Angel]

$-She could only shake her head at Lilith's reaction to the lovely scenery of the office that would be the center of her operations of the coming season. She replied with a grin forming at the corners of her lips with...-$

"Don't get too comfortable in that chair sweetie. I have no intentions of experiencing a reprise of last season's interaction with my first personal assistant. I DO expect you to actually...Work you know? Not sit around and play video games all day like someone who'll remain nameless. You're my assistant so...You will assist. Which means...Taking orders. IF you can that is. And of course I have a few guidelines that should be made note of and stored away in that pretty little head of yours as well. So to avoid a second Kimberly Masters incident...?"

1. You WILL work. Regardless of how you feel or how you look for that matter, I expect effort everyday you stroll through the doors of the Tower with your "black ass". Period point blank. Laziness is something I encountered too much of back in Toronto.

2. No sexual advances towards myself or the other staff members that will be working alongside of us this season. Buck will handle that task alone so we don't need another sexually aggressive person, no offense, doing the same.

3. NO over revealing attire is to be worn here inside of the Tower. I refuse to have the additional staff members gawking over my assistant...Well...More than they gawk over me. I also don't wish to have any "staff relationships" becoming the stuff of rumors and rants here in the Tower like...Well...I had to deal with back in Toronto once again. I'm sure you can understand that.

$-She pauses for a moment, fidgeting with her hair before a smile comes over her face again and continues...-$


And finally...

4. No fighting. I know, I know it sounds redundant but with the attitude Amanda and yourself have towards one another I feel it's necessary to SAY it to you before things really begin to pick up. Keep your hands and feet to yourself at all times dear and we'll do fine.

"Okay!...Now I THINK that should keep you busy for the time being processing all of that. That should be it except ahhh...Stop staring at my ass and...If you're going to drink on the job, WHICH I'm positively sure you most likely will, please hide that fact as well as humanly possible hm? Under the desk you'll be seated at, in your bra, somewhere but not in plain view...

So...

Any questions?"

[Lilith]

"Well now I'm just hurt...

One...

I always work, even in Detroit I did more then half... hell, the majority of work. I can work I know how to work and I will work. So long as idiocy doesn't get in my way. If Amanda hires a personal assistant and the bitch gets in my way.... that's her own fault.

Two...

As attractive as you are Candi.... I'm somewhat trying to stay away from more office romances myself. It seems despite lack of memory of it... the last office romance I had, was not that successful in terms of lasting. Marriage is only as useful as it becomes long. I don't remember being married at all so... that bites the dust.

Three...

There is no possible way.... I'm not wearing something at least SOMEWHAT revealing Candi. Come on now. I mean it's me, you may not know anything about me period.... but even you must have figured out by now that I have total high confidence in my body. I'm going to at least show it off somewhat. I won't go around naked cause that's just dumb as fuck.... but, I will wear more clothing then usually.... happy?

And lastly Four....

Now see, that's up to Amanda. If SHE starts shit? I'm finishing it. There is no and ifs or buts about it Candi, I despise the woman. I will go to my grave despising the woman. I will go to sleep 6 feet deep wanting to bury a shovel deep into her head in hopes of keeping her from making a peep.

Aside from that.... I should have no problems with the job. I'll do the whole 'patrol' thing you're talking about.. making 'the rounds' and shit every now and then. I'm telling you though, me and people in general don't get along well. I am not liked by superstars in general, so... if someone comes bitching and whining to you with their tonka truck all busted up and going "Mi.. Mi-Miss Candiiiiceee!! L-L-L-LILITH'S BEIN MEAN!" Then hey.... not my fault you know?

[Candice Angel]

"........................"

$-God some people were just extremely mislead it seems. Lilith clearly was busy worrying about scoring the highest quality alcoholic beverage she possibly could rather than the words that had just been relayed to her. This was going to be more difficult than she had initially thought. Folding her arms she stares towards Lilith for a few moments before commenting...-$

"You do realize I asked if there were any "questions"...? Not..."Let's debate and negotiate?"

[Lilith]

"I have no questions.

I understood the little... discussion. Just giving you a bit of forewarning in case someone tries to come-a-running to you for protection. I tend to piss people off real easily...

Especially when I try.

The fuck is that food.....

Anyway.. I wanted to know something about one of the General Managers... if that's alright with you Candi. My curiosity seems to be getting the best of me here... and I have to know, I just have to know....

.....

Why Banks? I understand she's more then qualified for the job... I understand she's extremely bitchy, haughty and self confident. More then enough needed to keep people in line. But if memory serves me.... didn't she have a certain connection to another 'faction' somewhat recently? You sure having someone with the stigma of that name over her head in power... is wise?"

[Candice Angel]

$-The smile only growing she responds...-$

"Of course I'm "aware" of her dealings with the "faction" in question Lilith. That and the reasons you yourself just stated are the very reasons why we're sure she's more than capable of handling said responsibilities."

"She's been under the pressure and scrutiny of having such a thing loom over her existence. That being said, she'll be more than prepared to use her past experiences to ensure things run smoothly. She won't be deterred or discouraged by the naysayers or...How would you say umm...."Haters", that are inevitable to show their ugly faces once things get rolling here. She's exactly what we needed to be honest. She'll be fair but she'll be stern and clearly decisive when needed I'm sure. And to be quite frank with you Lilith...Who's the alternative?"

[Lilith]

"......

The Familia Regime dealings she managed to survive through would prove she's... tougher then the average woman. I know personally....

I'd of killed Buck multiple times over if I had been in her position. Maybe a couple other members too..... I'll admit, she has enough... guts, brains and overall ability to do much more then just silencing superstars who seem to do nothing but bitch, bitch, bitch oh and bitch..."

Lilith gets up out of the recliner slowly, she walks over to the closest window and looks down to the city below. Tch... yeah, Silvia was qualified, not even Lilith could dispute it. More of a matter fact way of thinking, she wouldn't if she had any grounds too. There was maybe all but....

Five women... that sounds about right.

Five women that Lilith respected, five that she wouldn't mess with. Silvia Banks was on the higher side of that very short scaling list. Pressing her hand against the window, Lilith FINALLY spots the god damned delivery van of the food she ordered. Useless shiftless delivery people. Huffing and snorting out slightly, Lilith clears her throat. While continuing to look out the window she grins slightly.

"But then again Candi....

If simply surviving the Familia Regimes.... activities, is enough in most eyes to deem someone 'worthy' of such a nice prestigious little job....

Can you imagine Candi...

......"

Lilith slowly turns her head back to face Candi's gaze. Her eyes narrowing slightly as her lips curl slightly in a sadistic like grin. The cat who just caught that damned bird, you could see it on Lilith's face. She was almost more then sure, Candi could FEEL it coming on too. She runs her fingers down the window slowly before looking back out it, a soft chuckle under her breath.

".....

How qualified the one who ran it... would be."
