Welcome to the bottom…

Miss nata would take a sip from her scotch glass while looking at her PC monitor. It wasn´t the high end tech computer she was normally used to, from all the other companies she was working for, but it was an ok version. On the screen, a few numbers were running down, showing the income and spending of law over the last few weeks. The company wasn´t losing any money, quite the opposite was happening. The company was making a lot of money lately. Money that could be spend to increase law and make it bigger to earn even more money.

The Chinese woman would take a sip from her glass once again. She was wearing her typical black suit, even in her office she was rarely taking it off.
Although the numbers were good so far, she wasn´t happy at all. They weren´t good enough, they could be better, so they should be better. It was her job to make that happen.
And maybe she did find a way to cut some costs… she was just waiting for that person to show up.

Lauren was nervous. Very nervous. Dressed in a white dress shirt, blue suit jacket and matching g knee length skirt complete with white dress shoes she waited outside the offices of the top brass.

She was summoned to speak with them and it cpuldn't be good given her losing record. She arrived exactly on time, taking a deep breath and knocking on rhe door before entering the office. As the big woman sheepishly walked in she smiled a nervous smile while waving. "H-hello miss. I'm Lauren Fredericks and I am here to see you and you requested." Lauren said, trying not to sound nervous. She was horrified that she was going to be released for not living up to her contract, even thoug she was making close to the LAW minimum. She waited for her answer, feeling her heart pounding in her chest.

The manager would hear how the door was opened and she would look up from her pc to see a mature blond woman stepping in. “oh Hello miss Ferdericks… please come in and shut the door behind you!” Would the red haired woman say without standing up. Then she would point at the chair right in front of herself with one hand. “take a seat.” She would say while opening a drawer from her desk and pulling out a folders with the name of Lauren Fredericks on them.
The woman in the suit would slowly lean forward putting her elbows on the desk and placing her chin into her heands. “miss Fredericks… can you guess why I asked you to come here today and talk to you?”

Lauren came in, quietly sitting and looking over across the desk. She took a deep breath before she answered and then spoke. No sense in hiding it or beating around the bush today. "Yeah. I have been on a losing streak and have had women half my size outright embarrass me in the ring when I am supposed to be a heavyweight." Lauren said. As soon as she finished she took another deep breath and held it in, silently awaiting the response. She could only hope she was wrong, but Lauren could tell from the bosses bearing, her attitude....everything really..... that Lauren was correct in assuming why she was summoned.

Miss nata would lean backwards while she was listening to what lauren had to say. The Chinese woman would just nod over and over again while she listen to what was going on. When the other woman was done she would lean forwards again. “you seem to see this situation as it is, directly. I am impressed.” She would take a short break. “But if a wrestler is only losing her matches, that isn´t that much of a problem for us as company. It is you not fulfilling your roll in the company. You see we have a lot of woman in law who we use as jobbers or as people losing all their matches. And the fans love to see them lose and fail over and over and over again. Take darkness… she is a big heavyweight but loses all her matches, but the fans eat it up. They like her matches for some reason. We have girls like Lillian or kana who are both looking cute and the fan´s, for whatever reason, love to see them being ripped apart in the ring. They are young they are cute, they are in great shape!”

The Chinese woman would lean forward. “When we hired you we didn´t think of such a roll for you.” She would let her shoulders circle. “We didn´t hire you as jobber, we didn´t pay you like one. You shouldn´t be there, that other fighters could simply walk over you… We didn´t hire you as eye candy… because let´s be honest, I think the time where you could be something called eye candy is over. All these other girls in law who are in similar positions, are looking way better than you. They are in better shape than you are. They are younger and look more appealing than you are. No hard feelings.”

The manager would take a short break. “When our scouts laid eyes on you they saw something interesting. Bad then you had the prefect gimmak. YOU were a destroyer! You did slam everything that came in your way and finished them off. And when you came to law you were able to keep this gimmak up a little bit… and people did like it. They liked to see a big mature woman, who wasn´t perfect like them win. They could get behind you. But now that you lose, you lose them. And they are everything that keeps you in this bussines. As long as you have fans behind you and keep making us money you will always have spot here. But thanks to you losing match after match, they see you as nothing more than a loser! And no one wants’ to cheer for a loser! No one wants to see a old, out of shape loser gets his ass kicked. So the people don´t wanna see your matches, don´t wanna by your stuff. Tell me why should we keep you around anymore when you don’t make us any money? You let us down! We did put so much trust in you, hiring a middle age woman, instead of someone younger… SO Tell me… why should we keep you around?” Would the Chinese woman ask.

[Highfly]

Lauren shook her head and could barely bear to hear the things said about her. "Miss Nata, I will not lose anymore. I will win my matches and slam my way through any woman crazy enough to set foot in the ring with me! I...." Lauren began to say realizing she was making statements, promises she knew she wouldn't be able to keep. She let out a loud sigh and buried her head in her hands.

Taking another deep breath she looked back up at Miss Nata. "I am going to train harder and do all I can do win matches. I won't get shocked and upset by little women or let myself give up after being overpowered by monstrously gigantic women. You have seen me win and know I CAN win, and I will try to be more marketable.... maybe come up with a gimmick? I will do better I swear..." Lauren said shaking her head. She didn't know what to say anymore but right now this career meant more to her than words can describe. She didn't go to school. She didn't know a trade. She was a big, flubbery woman in her mid 30s who was a career check-to-check waitress after high school. She was also a lifelong wrestling fan who dreamed of a roster spot like this. She knew she had to begin to deliver.

"How much does your promises make the company a year?" Would nata say after a short break. She did look at the american woman for quite a while, with a quite and unfeeling look. She wasn´t showing any emperhy for the poor woman. She would lean backwards on her chair a little bit, crossing her arms under her chest.
"We did pay you well enough that you could have already taken a private trainer and do something about your state… and with that i mean your state in the company and the state your body is in right now. But before we all blame this on your age… we shouldn´t forget that we also have a member around here, who is a bit older as well and got kids already. But she just made it in the final of the heavyweight tournement and is selling merch like sex toys at a none shool!" The Chinese woman would slowly lean forwards before pulling something out from under the table.
it was shirt from lauren.

"law did order 5000 pieces… and so far a little over 1000 are sold… meaning that law is stuck with around 4000 pieces they payed for but can´t sell to anyone because no one wants them! The company did lost a lot of money to this… When you came here you were a big deal... but now all the hpye is gone, you lose your matches and doesn´t get the fan reactions we want… the best thing for us would be to either change your contract to a lower paying salary because you are worth less now... or let you go and hire someone who is worth her money. "
She would stare right into the eyes of the other woman. "what are you planning to do about our situation?"

[Highfly]

Lauren was beside herself at this point. She apparently had let a lot of people down with her lack of performance. Her few big wins didn't out-shine her numerous surprise or one sided losses. She just sat there shaking her head, her hands slumping down at her side. "I guess I can either start winning again or you'll fire me. I get the feeling that is the point we are at if you are calling me in here to tell me all this." Lauren said as she sat back, her hands covering her face as she kept shaking her head. She knew it was a long shot for her to even get to the big time but she made it.... she just couldn't believe that she had been blowing it so badly since arriving.

The Chinese woman would slowly lean back in her seat looking over her table. Seems like she was taking this very hard, the red haired woman would smirk for a moment. “Miss frederick… you won´t get fired. I didn´t call you here to fire you? Do you really think I would waste my time and invite everyone I want to fire into my office for a talk? That would be a real waste of my time.”
The Chinese woman was leaning backwards and turning her chair to the side for a moment. Then she would slowly pull open one of her drawers and pull out a letter, she would put the letter down onto the table. “When i want to fire someone they will get a letter just like this… with their name on it.” Miss nata would place the letter down onto the table and take her fingers of the name… Lauren Frederick. “I asked you to come here to talk… I don´t wanna give this letter away, just yet. Maybe there is a way you could safe us the work of looking for a new talent. Maybe with a little help and guidance, you are able to keep your position in the company, keep this big paycheck incoming.” She would lean backwards awaiting a reaction.
“You see the other officials wanted to send this letter away today… but I thought that maybe some talking could guide you back onto the right way.”

[Highfly]

Somehow this felt even worse than being fired. Lauren was now being leveraged, she was like a worm dangling on Nata's hook to be used how Nata wanted. But Lauren needed this job, this roster spot. She was silent for a moment as she saw her letter of release on the table across from her. She really had no choice at this point.

"I'm listening." Lauren said plainly knowing full well that she really had to listen and hear Nata out otherwise she was going to be in a world of hurt. "What doI need to do?" Lauren added, a hint of resignation in her voice as she knew that she wasn't going to like what she heard...
