Backroom Dealings

[winner3]

Angie sized Robin up well. And with each appraisal, she liked what she saw.

Robin was exactly what Angie was looking for in a proper successor. Mendez was calculating and efficient. She played things close to the chest. She didn't even reveal her full hand, not even to a woman in a position of power over her, not even to the LAW Assistant General Manager, herself!

"Excellent." Angie smirked when she saw Robin take out her phone.

Defoe dictated her number. And afterward, she rose up from her desk and extended her hand to Mendez.

"May this be the start of a very long and very lucrative partnership, Robin. Play those cards of yours right, and someday you might inherit the empire we build together." Angie's smirk underneath her designer glasses grew more sinister with each word.

"Ah, there is much empire to build and so little time. Let's get to work soon, shall we?"

The number was placed in her phone and Robin even made sure to show it to Angie to get confirmation it was correct. With it she signed a deal. One more dangerous than her last one. Celeste was arrogant enough to think Robin a docile kiss up who would advance when Celeste allowed her too. Angie was a snake who was happy to have her walk the same path yet who could easily turn and bite her at the first hint of betrayal. The moment they turned on one another they could destroy each other. A joyous day for all of Law should it occur. A good reason to not consider betrayal. Why waste your coils to crush one foe when if you worked together you could crush the whole world. No. Angie was not a fool who would be thrown away like some others. For once Robin would be in a partner ship of equal value where both contributed too much. It made her nervous. It made her excited. “Show me where to start and I’ll show you what I have in mind.”

LAW was home to many a woman who lacked either the means or the wits to make a grand plan come together. LAW's Assistant General Manager had the experience and the resources to know that girls and boys who could talk the talk were a dime a dozen. Girls who could put in the work and keep working day in and day out? Even less so. But the total package, the ladies who could put it all together and make their visions a reality- the ones who had the brains, the beauty, and the skill to legitimately take over LAW? One in a million. And now two of them were forming a clandestine alliance behind the scenes from the safety of Angie's own administrative office!

"I'm so glad we understand each other." Angie's twisted grin grew wider.

"I've got a list. But your top target is a certain Super Kitty. I'll grab my whiteboard. We'll iron out the details and the larger vision. You and I are going to run this place, Robin. I almost feel bad for anyone stupid enough to get in our way....almost." Angie finished with a wink before standing upright to wheel her whiteboard over. She would then pull the blinds down over the window in her door, leaving the two of them to hatch their plots in secrecy, just the way they liked it!
