Yes, of course, their relationship with Victoria has deteriorated greatly in the light of recent events.
Nerissa Labong
After losing the most important rivalry of her life, Nerissa was in far from the best condition, now she saw no point in denying it. And her manager couldn't think of anything better than to sign up for her tournament, which at that moment had no meaning for the Native American woman. The result was obvious, she lost two matches in a row and was kicked out of the tournament like a champagne cork. At that moment, all her thoughts were occupied by the woman who had completely turned her life around.
Nerissa was definitely not happy with the way things turned out. And if she was the only one to blame for the way her rivalry ended, then in the case of the tournament she considered Victoria to be to blame. The manager took the first step to reconcile with Nerissa, but at that moment the Native American woman was not ready to accept it, she was still too angry.
Nevertheless, although the situation with her career was still too sad, Nerissa decided to at least try to make a step towards her manager. However, now Victoria was the one who didn't want to talk to her. Therefore, Nerissa made the only right decision in her opinion, namely to come to LAW headquarters to speak with her manager personally. How could she have known that the Englishwoman would simply refuse to open the door for her?
“Damn, now I'm feeling hungry because of you!”
Nerissa stopped in the middle of the lobby. At first, she thought about just going home, but due to stress she had an irresistible urge to eat. In order not to put up with this for too long, she decided to stop by the cafe located right in the headquarters.
“Club sandwich with salmon and cream cheese,” she said a few minutes later in front of the cafe counter. “And a big latte, no sugar.”
When she received her order and sat down at the nearest table, it seemed that Nerissa was completely fine. But that wasn't really the case. For a long time, she didn't know what to do next. This woman had changed too much in her life and Nerissa had completely lost her concentration, which was completely out of character for her. Her career, which was still going to Hell, was the best proof of that.
After starting to chew on the sandwich, the Native American woman closed her eyes for a few seconds. Yes, thanks to her conversation with Astrid and the subsequent events, she was able to find a way to take her mind off this woman. However, even Nerissa herself knew deep down that self-satisfaction was only a temporary solution. Astrid strongly advised her to talk to the brunette, but Nerissa did not find the strength to do that.
“Fucking awesome...” as if there was no one around, she muttered after finishing the first half of the sandwich.
After taking a few sips of coffee, she found herself thinking that instead of just talking to the woman she fell in love with, she decided to focus on her career. Yes, she had already won one match, which could be considered the first small step on a new path to the top of the lightweight division, but still it was not enough to completely forget about this brunette.
Maybe that's why she's been so irritated lately.
“And who needs all this?..” she asked the rhetorical question out loud before starting on the second half of the sandwich.
