Stephanie McMahon was helping to hand out schedule for the upcoming shows for the WWF company. Her brother Shane was taking care of the male wrestlers' schedules while she gave out the females'. As Stephanie was finding out what wrestler was next to find, she was bumped into by someone and fell back on the floor.

"Hey are you okay?" Hunter Helmsley asked as he kneeled down to help pick up the scattered schedules.

"Yeah." she answered.

"One of the new guys ran into you and kept going." Hunter told her and stood up with a hand held out forStephanie to take.

"Thank you." Stephanie said as she took the offered hand.

Gently he helped her stand up and Stephanie pushed some of her hair back. Hunter and her had never run into each other since he came to the company. She realized that his blue eyes were on her and she blushed a little.

"I better continue getting these schedules handed out."

"Yeah. I happen to be Hunter by the way."

"I know. My name's Stephanie."

"Nice to meet you Stephanie. Maybe we can meet again one day."

"Helmsley!" Vince yelled from his office door. "Get your ass in my office right now."

With a nervous look on his face at his boss yelling, Hunter went into the office with his head down. Vince didn't even notice his daughter and went in the office to slam the door shut behind him. Taking a deep breath, Stephanie continued her job of handing out the female wrestlers' schedules. A couple hours later, Stephanie was leaving the arena for some new guys to start making comments to her. She just ignored them to keep walking when one grabbed her arm.

"You're a pretty thing." a man said to her who clearly was drunk.

"Leave her alone." Hunter ordered as he pushed the drunk man away from Stephanie.

"Still have a job Helmsley?" a second man asked in a drunken slur.

"None of your business." Hunter told him.

He put an arm around Stephanie to walk her away from the drunk men. A thankful look was on Stephanie's face as Hunter led her over to some parked rental cars in the parking lot.

"Where's your rental car parked?" Hunter asked.

"I'm walking to the hotel."

"If you want, I can walk you to the hotel to make sure you stay safe." Hunter offered to her.

"Sure."

The two left the parking lot of the arena to head down the sidewalk in the direction of the hotel. Stephanie could not stop herself from glancing at Hunter as they walked together side to side. When he looked at her, she looked down with a deep blush at being caught by him.

"Why was my dad mad at you?" Stephanie asked him to try breaking the uncomfortable silence between them.

"Me and some of my friends broke characters. Your dad is most likely going to fire me."

"I hope he doesn't. Those men would probably have done something bad if you hadn't showed up to stop them."

"There is no problem with drinking, but you shouldn't let yourself get so out of hand."

"Funny you saying that and rumor is who your friends are."

"We're trying to clean ourselves up. Though none of us have ever put our hands on a beautiful woman when she didn't want us to."

"So I'm a beautiful woman?"

"Of course. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a total idiot."

Soon the two arrived at the hotel that the company was staying in for their stay in the city. Hunter decided to walk Stephanie all the way up to her hotel room to make sure she got there safely.

"Thank you for helping me Hunter. I really hope you don't lose your job for something so foolish. You could possibly do great things in the company that will last for years to come."

"Hope to see you again Stephanie."

"Bye." Stephanie leaned forward to kiss his cheek.

A small smile was on her face as she entered the hotel room to leave Hunter just standing out there. The next day at the arena, Stephanie entered her dad's office there to see him working on paperwork at a desk. She sat down in the chair across from he desk for him to look up at her.

"Can I help you Steph?"

"Do you plan on firing Helmsley?"

"Not sure. He's the only one I can punish since the others we can't due many reasons."

"Him being fired could be a huge lose to this company dad. The man might go on to help with WWF being a huge company not just in the United States, but perhaps across the world."

Vince seemed to be thinking over what his daughter was saying about the wrestler. He realized that maybe she was right about Helmsley helping with WWF becoming famous all over the world. Though Vince had no clue of Stephanie's real reason for wanting Hunter to stay in the company.
