If there is one thing that The British Bombshell has learned over the past few months it is that she should not let herself get so caught up in her career that she forgets to enjoy herself, that she forgets to have fun, that she forgets to just simply be a good person. Wrestling is just one of her many outlets, outlets to enjoy herself and have fun. She enjoys the thrill of competing against the best the squared circle has ever produced. Braddock also enjoys a good round of karaoke and playing pranks on people. These are her outlets to help maintain her balance between work and pleasure. And she didn’t realize just how much she hated the work aspect of he career until she was forced back into that world early in the month.
Along with being a professional wrestler, Glory Braddock is also a successful businesswoman. And her company’s board of directors saw fit to throw her a big party in her honor. So for one night only Braddock had to get all glamoured up and hob nob with the snobs who help run her business. In a perfect world Glory would have nothing to do with corporate life. But she seemingly was pulled into the life against her own will. It started when she bought the rights to a defunct promotion, all in the name of giving wrestlers a place to ply their craft. But when it grew she was forced to take on more responsibility, because she felt obliged to keep it afloat herself. Then when her father, Glenn Braddock, passed away she inherited his wrestling school and she incorporated that into the company. Last, but not least, when her cousin’s modeling agency began to have financial difficulty, Glory bought the agency out so that she could keep it afloat for her cousin. What had started out as a small organization had grown into a powerhouse rather quickly. Glory had become quite a powerful woman.
Power is seductive and that is the problem for Glory Braddock. She hated what the power did to her. She hated how it twisted her and made her into a self-absorbed egomaniac. It took interactions with two young, energetic, bright, up and coming wrestlers for Glory to see what she had truly become; it took Fiona Logan and Amelia Stone to help Glory realize just how far she had gone. And it took awhile for Braddock to rediscover herself, to lock away that ugly monster she had become and throw away the key. When she did, Glory vowed to never become that person again and to ensure that never happens she wants to stay as far away from corporate power as possible. She went as far as to hand full executive power to the minority shareholder, Aurora Alan.
Still there are times when Glory Braddock cannot ignore her corporate responsibilities. And when the board of directors decides to honor her by throwing a party, she cannot just ignore it. Against her better judgment Glory did go to the party. She rubbed elbows with the corporate snobs, the same people she once was. She vowed to do whatever it took to make sure none of their snobbery rubbed off on her. Luckily for The British Bombshell, she would meet a like-minded individual; a young woman named Jamie Ryan.
Jamie Ryan is the niece of Board member Floyd Ryan. Despite her uncle being on the board of directors Jamie, like Glory, detests the big parties that the corporate snobs throw for themselves. She seems to be a down to earth person, much like Glory. She seems like someone Glory can legitimately relate to. Jamie almost seemed too good to be true. And just as Glory was beginning to let her guard down at that party the truth of that statement rang true; because Jamie would go on to ask Glory to find her a job with the company.
It is an odd request that leaves so many questions for Braddock. Still, despite the questions and skepticism, Jamie seems very genuine and very sincere. Is Glory just being played for a fool? Perhaps. But Glory wants to give the young girl the benefit of a doubt. So she has arranged to meet with Jamie in Miami and Jamie, a self-proclaimed admirer of Glory’s, was all too happy to accept the invitation. This is what brings Braddock to downtown Miami. The British Bombshell is dressed in a pink floral print sun dress, sandals, a wide brim hot pink straw hat. Sunglasses cover her eyes. She is approaching the agreed upon meeting place; a small cafe.
The closer Braddock gets the closer everything and everyone comes into view. She sees a black haired young woman in green shorts, a matching green tanktop, and flip flops. She waves wildly at Glory, obviously trying to get The British Bombshell’s attention. Yep, it’s Jamie. Glory grins as she waves back, letting Jamie know that she sees her. As Braddock approaches she can see that Jamie already took the pleasure of ordering for the both of them. Two cups of coffee are already on the green patio table where Jamie is seated.
“Coffee. Black.”
“Who told you I liked my coffee black?” Braddock asks, arching her brow.
“Lucky guess?” Jamie says uneasily. Glory can tell that she is lying based on the uneasiness in her voice. Braddock smirks and shakes her head.
“Spill. Where did you get your intel?”
“Your husband.” Jamie says with a sigh. “I asked him at the party.”
“Bloody wanker.” Glory says with a soft chuckle in her voice. “I shoulda known he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, especially at those bloody parties. He loves ‘em.”
“I could tell.” Jamie says with a Cheshire cat like grin on her face. She motions to the patio chair next to her. “Sit!” Braddock nods her head and obliges, sitting down next to Jamie.
“So how do you like Miami?”
“It’s cool so far. It’s nice, relaxed, laid back. It is a much different atmosphere than Raleigh.”
“Don’t I know it.” Glory says rolling her eyes. “That’s partially why I moved down here.”
“Yeah, I remember.” Jamie says as she nods her head. “Uncle Floyd was new to the board at the time. You tried running the company long distance from London but you couldn’t do it. You tried running the company from Raleigh, the corporate headquarters, and that was much easier.”
“Oh God it was so much easier!” Glory exclaims. “All those long distance virtual calls drove me batty. I could talk to a real live person at corporate headquarters and it made things run so much smoother.”
“So if it was so easy that way then why did you move down here?”
“Two reasons.” Glory holds up two fingers. “First, like you pointed out the atmosphere in Raleigh is just too tense. Everyone in that bloody city is so damned uptight. It’s like your blood pressure automatically skyrockets as soon as you hit the city limits.” Braddock and Jamie both share a hearty laugh as she says this.
“I can believe that!” Jamie says. “But what’s the other reason?” Jamie waits patiently for an answer. She gets none. Instead she gets a skeptical glare and then cynical smile from The British Bombshell.
“Don’t play games with me, mate.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your uncle has been on the board for a very long time. I’m sure he knows the other reason I moved down here and I’m sure you’ve already overheard it, especially if you are as big an admirer of mine as you claim.” There is a tense pause. Jamie finally sighs and nods her head.
“You’re right, Ms. Braddock. I can’t fool you, can I?”
“No, you can’t.” Braddock slaps her on the back. “But you get points for trying.”
“Moving down here was what led the Board to try and remove you from power, right?” Jamie asks. Glory sighs and nods her head.
“Well it is a little more complicated than that.”
“It was Aphrodite.”
“You really are a gutsy one, aren’t you?” Glory says with a wry grin on her face. Jamie blushes furiously.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Braddock, I didn’t mean to…”
“Call me Glory.” She demands. “And there’s nothing to apologize for. I mean, I have done a lot to keep that story hidden. Hell, I did a damn good job of keeping it quiet. And a part of me is ashamed for it.”
“Why?”
“Because I do care about her.” Glory says as she sips on her coffee. The ‘her’ Glory is referring to is Aphrodite Noel. Aphrodite became Glory’s mentor for a period of two to three years starting in 2014. Glory needed Aphrodite’s knowledge and wisdom to guide her though the rough waters of running a company. But what started as merely a mentorship became a much closer bond. Glory spent the vast majority of her teenage years and most of her early adult years with her mother, Mary Ford, out of the picture due to the vicious break up of Mary and Glenn Braddock’s marriage. Late in 2014 Glory began to view Aphrodite as a new mother for her. She proved to be very loyal to Aphrodite, as loyal as a daughter would be to her mother.
This loyalty became problematic for the Board of Directors. Aphrodite wrestled for their promotion. They didn’t want a wrestler having that much power and sway over the CEO. So they pulled some strings and managed to legally strip Glory from her executive powers. It took a long time for Glory to regain full executive control over her company. It took even longer before Glory won back the trust of the Board of Directors.
Braddock takes her cup of coffee and takes a sip. “I moved to Miami partially because it is a more relaxing environment. But also because I wanted to be close to my mentor, to Aphrodite. The Board didn’t like that very much, Jamie.” Glory sets her cup of coffee down. “Now since you have been all inquisitive, maybe it’s my turn to interrogate you?”
“Oh?”
“Call me a mite curious, but you wanted a job with the company. A job with GGE. Right?”
“Oh yea! Very much Ms. Bra….Glory!” Jamie quickly catches and corrects herself, causing Glory to chuckle a little.
“Well, Jamie, I just have one question. If you want to work for a company where your uncle sits as a member of the board of directors, why would you not go through him?”
“Uh…” Jamie isn’t quite sure how to answer this. Braddock detects the look of panic on her face and decides to press further.
“I only met you at that stupid party a few weeks ago. But Floyd is your family. You’re much closer to him than me.”
“Well, um…uh…”
“Spill it, kiddo. Like I said, you can’t get anything past me, so you may as well tell me now. What is your real angle here?” There is a long tense pause as The British Bombshell stares into Jamie’s eyes. Finally the young girl relents and nods her head.
“Ok, I admit that there’s a little more to it than just wanting a job.”
“I thought as much.” Glory says, smirking triumphantly.
“Remember when I said that I am a big admirer of yours? Well that’s true. I meant that. And that’s kinda part of why I wanted to ask you for a job, but not just any job.”
“What job?” Glory asks with an arched brow.
“I want to be your advisor!” Jamie says, smiling gleefully. Braddock quickly shatters her spirits, quickly brings her back to reality by shaking her head in a decisive no.
“I don’t want an advisor. I don’t need an advisor.”
“Of course you do!”
“Why would I need an advisor, Jamie? You’re not a wrestler so you can’t advise me there.”
“I can help you with the company!”
“Absolutely not.” Glory shakes her head adamantly. “I want nothing more to do with the corporate life.”
“That’s why I can help you!” Jamie insists as she scoots closer towards Glory. “I grew up in and around business all my life! I got this!” Jamie happily declares. Glory frowns.
“I thought you said you hated that life as much as me? Or was that yet another lie I caught you in?” Glory says in an accusatory tone, causing Jamie to again blush furiously.
“Ok, so maybe I lied just a wee bit…”
“A wee bit?!”
“I lied a lot!” Jamie says with a big sigh. “But seriously, I can help you with the company.”
“Thanks for the offer, Jamie. It’s the thought that counts, I suppose, but like I said, I don’t want any involvement with the company. That’s why I handed full executive powers to Aurora Alan.”
“Yeah, I know.” Jamie says, her jovial demeanor suddenly changes. She becomes much more serious. “My uncle told me all about that. If you ask me, you’re making a huge mistake by trusting her.”
“And what the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“Glory, you were at your best, at your peak, a few years ago back in 2018 when you regained control of the company.” A sinister grin forms on her face. “Uncle Floyd told me all about it.”
“About what?!”
“About how you bullied and intimidated the board of directors into submission, into complete subservience to you. They became just a rubber stamp for whatever you wanted. You basically had a blank check to do anything and everything with that company. No one could have stopped you.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Glory states. Jamie chuckles.
“Now who is lying? C’mon, Glory, you know me by now. My uncle is on the board of directors. So I know about the intimidation campaign, the blackmail, I know all of what you did. And you wanna know something else? My uncle was one of your biggest supporters. He always was. He was working behind the scenes, pulling some strings of his own to help keep the board in line.”
“I have had enough of the games.” Glory snarls back. “What do you really want, Jamie? And I mean it. No more lies. What do you really want?”
“I just want you to be the woman I once admired. Not the clown who plays to the crowd in a wrestling ring. I want you to become the leader GGE corporate needs.”
“I’m not that person anymore.” Glory shakes her head.
“That’s a shame, because that’s what corporate needs right now. Especially now considering the Alan family faction sitting on the board is trying to flex its muscles again.” Jamie sneers at Glory. “They saw your weakness when you put Aurora in power.”
“I did it because I trust Aurora to do a good job and as a sign of goodwill to the board.” Glory counters.
“Well they didn’t see it that way. They saw weakness. They saw their chance to remove you and make Aurora your permanent replacement.” Jamie announces. Glory shakes her head, refusing to believe it. Jamie just scoffs. “Oh c’mon, don’t be naive. Aurora Alan is still an Alan, representative of the founding family of the company. And you know damn well that there is a strong faction on the board that would love to see the original family back in charge.”
“You’re wrong.”
“Am I? Glory, the longer you stay away from corporate the bolder the board will get and the more likely they are to take action against you.” Jamie slams her fist on the table. “The time to strike is now!”
Glory stands up. She points away. “You should leave. Leave now!” Glory sneers. “How is that for taking action?”
“Fine. I’ll leave.” Jamie points a finger in Glory’s face. “But you should seriously think about your future.” Braddock swats her finger away.
“Get that finger out of my face before I break it.”
“This was a waste of time.” Jamie retorts. “You’re too weak.”
Jamie shrugs her shoulders. She turns and walks off. Once Jamie is out of sight Glory sits back down and sighs. She has a lot to think about. Could Jamie be right?
