That one guy who is awesome

"You're kidding me right?!?!"

His voice was quiet but it carried with it a certain air of dangerous fury. The person who this sentence was directed at sat on the other side of the most expensive looking office desk known to man. The desk sat facing away from the windows overlooking the Hollywood skyline in an office that was huge and circular, the floor covered in a plush emerald green carpet. Perhaps the most notable thing about the office was the extensive trophy collection covering one whole wall. That will be come back to later but right now, one Christopher St. James was changing color from his usual tan self to a more red as cherry.

"Let me repeat myself. You're kidding right? This is some sort of sick joke that you're playing on me because I'm you're boss right? Oh hahaha! That's fucking hilarious!"

The words rang out and hung in the air, just waiting to be answered. CSJ glared at each person in the room, daring them to answer. His lawyer stood off to the side with one of his hands massaging his forehead, as if he was trying to ease away a headache. The only other person in the room, and the one that CSJ's anger was directed at was his agent, one Percy Allen who looks like he's seen better days.

"N...N...No sir. That is what I was told this afternoon. You won't be entered into the Alex Ross Tournament and you'll have to earn number one contendership to the World Title some other way."

CSJ steeples his hands in front of him. It was to be expected of course but still frustrating. He is the best damn person on that roster and Paige knows it! Apparently she just didn't want to admit it to herself though. It's not Percy's fault. Still though, why not enjoy the perks of being the boss when you have them right?

"So you mean to tell me that even though I'm GIVING them a donation, not to mention my TALENT, they won't let me into the tournament? You're telling me that you got me into a federation that was going to GIVE me a spot in this tournament, but you got me in a week late, AFTER the deadline had passed? Please, if I'm mistaken, enlighten me."

Percy turns white as fast as a blink. He of course knew what was coming. Upton Hemingway, the uptight family lawyer also knew what was coming. Whenever CSJ didn't get his way, someone got fired. And sure enough...

"Well Percy, I hate to say it but you've let me down for the last time. I don't need someone like you in my services any longer and I'm tired of waiting on you to show me that you can handle this line of work. You're fired."

Percy puts his head down as a single tear trails down his face. He nods in a disheartened way, there was no reasoning with CSJ. It was either HIS way or no way and Percy has just realized it. Slowly he stands up and walks out. As he reaches the massive oak doors at the other end of the office he glances back hopefully only to see CSJ impatiently wave him out glaring daggers at him as he goes. Percy sighs heavily and exits, closing the door behind him. As soon as the doors close CSJ pounds his fist into the desk.

"Upton! We need to do something about this! It's a travesty, I DESERVE to be in that tournament. That title is rightfully mine!"

Upton Hemingway just continues to massage away at his head, hopefully one day the pain will go away. Weather it was because Upton was untouchable by CSJ's wrath when things went bad or because he's been with the family for many years, CSJ ignores the fact that Upton was ignoring him.

"I need a drink..."

CSJ presses a button on his intercom and promptly a voice rings out.

"What can I get for you Mr. St. James?"

"I want a...a...Damn, what's my usual?"

"Disarono on the rocks sir?"

"Yes! Get me one of those!"

CSJ clicks off the intercom and gets up from his desk ignoring the fact that Upton was following his every move, even if he wasn't moving himself. CSJ strides up to his trophy wall where every single achievement he has made in his life is displayed. First prizes in any and every sport available at every age up until present time is proudly displayed behind glass. However, a space in the very center of the wall, in fact the EXACT center stuck out much like a sore thumb would. The trophys that had existed on that shelf were pushed haphazardly to the sides and put on other shelves next to it without much regard on where they were going. No, this space was going to hold something very special. The sVo World Championship. It didn't matter how CSJ obtained the title. It didn't matter if he won it in a match or bought it off of whoever holds it. The fact of the matter is that while every single person on that roster were scratching and clawing their ways up the proverbial ladder, CSJ was already there. He has all the passion everyone else has, he has as much desire but people didn't yet quite understand. CSJ NEEDED that title in his trophy case. He NEEDS to show everyone that he's the top dog and it didn't matter how he achieved it.

"Upton, we've got work to do..."

Orlando Foxx...

I don't know who you are and to be honest I have no desire to get to know you. You're a small name nobody that no one cares about and to be honest, I can't believe that I have to waste any time in the ring with you at all. Sunday night I prove to all of sVo that I'm isn't just a flash in the pan. Starting with you, everyone on this roster will fell my wrath. They will all soon understand why I am the Personification of Perfection. Not only will I beat you on Sunday Orlando, but I'm going to pulverize you. I'm going to make you bleed, and I'm going to humiliate you. Not only that but I'm going to enjoy it. It will make me happy, it will cap off an almost perfect week, no matter the cost. Do you know why Orlando? Because I'm Christopher St. James and despite what you've been told I've been buying my own happiness since conception.
