Chapter 42: Todd’s Request
"I am bored here," Diana smiled. "Get me out there. Seeing these women tear it up there is making me anxious. I am worried that I will be forgotten soon if I don’t show my face."
Diana chuckled causing the others to laugh.
"Don’t worry about that. Next week you will have your moment to shine. Not a big moment, but you will have the right atmosphere and the right crowd. Your return would be a sensation," Rob assured her.
"Then, I am relieved," Diana chuckled.
"Just be ready for the promo off between you and Dacey the week after. We have already discussed what to go over. Just don’t cross the line. You are the good guy. You need to show you respect Dacey but you aren’t intimidated by her."
"So, Dacey gets to shoot her mouth off, huh?" Diana asked a little aggrievedly.
"That’s Dacey’s character. She needs to come off as someone really repugnant so that people will pay to see you beat her up," Rob explained patiently.
"Why are you keen on vilifying me? You are way too keen on getting people eager to see me get beaten up," Dacey groused from the side. "I can barely get out of my apartment these days."
"Didn’t I ask you to change to a secure location?" Rob asked frowning.
"You did, and I have already found a good place. I am waiting for my big paycheck to move in," Dacey replied.
"It wouldn’t be until <Last Stand>" Diana consoled her.
"I won’t be so sure about that," Rob said smiling. "Guess how much your new T-shirt sold?"
