Chapter 1: Life Changing

"Hello is this Harleigha Monroe?"

"This is Harleigha speaking."

"Hello Harleigha, this is Triple H speaking. I'm calling to tell you that we received your application. We're really impressed and we were wondering if you were interested in coming up to HQ to come talk to us about working for us."

"It would be an honor to come speak to you all."

"I was hoping you'd say that. We've been wanting to get in contact with you for a while. A lot of the divas backstage have been talking about your work and it was an absolute shock to see your name come across our desk."

"I've actually always wanted to work for you guys. Never thought I'd get the chance though. It means a lot that the divas like my work. It would certainly be my pleasure to do some work for them."

"That is music to my ears! How soon can you get up here?"

"Whatever is convenient for you sir."

"How's Friday afternoon at 2:00?"

"That's fine with me. I was already scheduled to be off this weekend anyway so that's perfect timing."

"Great we'll see you soon"

"Thank you for this opportunity."

"You're very welcome. Have a good rest of your day Harleigha."

"You too sir." With that the call was ended.

Standing in her living room Harleigha didn't know whether to scream or cry tears of happiness. Working for WWE was a dream of hers since she was a child. At 28 years old and being with her current place of employment for almost seven years she thought that she'd never get the chance. It's not that she didn't enjoy her job she just wanted to spice things up a bit. Coming home on Monday night's one thing she would enjoy about Raw was being able to come up for ideas for the divas. She was so excited now that she might officially get the chance to live out her dreams.

Four days later….

Straightening out her black and white romper on her five foot eight frame, Harleigha stood in the front of the bathroom mirror of her hotel room and took her long black hair and put it in a high bun with a flowery laced headband to finish off her look. Today was her big day. Getting in a good night's rest she looked completely rested and her dark skin complexion was standing out more so than usual. Putting on some simple bracelets and her big Betsey Johnson watch, she grabbed her purse and headed out the door. It was going to take her about thirty minutes to get to WWE HQ but she left herself enough time so that she wouldn't be late. She might be in fashion but "fashionably late," was not something she ever did. As she got closer to reaching her destination she started getting butterflies in her stomach. This was about to be a life changing moment for better or for worse. She was mentally telling herself all the things she shouldn't do in this interview. The main thing she told herself was shut down on all the sarcasm. She didn't think they were quite ready for all that.

Pulling up to entrance the attendant at the gate asked her who she was and the reason for her visit.

"Hi, I'm Harleigha Monroe and I'm scheduled to see Triple H at 2:00."

"Okay one second while I let him know that you've arrived."

Speaking into a walkie talkie Harleigha overheard her speaking to someone. It didn't take long for them to buzz her through the gate. Handing her a guest badge, she told her to pull through and where the parking garage was located.

"Thank you." she said as she pulled through and made a sharp left turn to where the parking garage was in the back. It took her about five minutes to find a parking spot leaving her with about fifteen minutes to spare. All but doing a flat out run, she reached the elevator in the garage and hit the down button that would lead straight into the front entrance of the building. Walking up to the front desk she introduced herself once again.

"Hello ma'am I'm here to see Triple H."

"What's your name?" said the secretary

"Harleigha Monroe."

Picking up the phone the secretary dialed a number. It took what sounded like three rings before the person answered.

"Hello, sir I have a Harleigha Monroe here to see you…..okay I'll let her know." Hanging up she turned to her.

"Ma'am he said he'll be right down and you can go ahead and have a seat in the lobby while you wait."

"Okay thank you so much." She said as she turned and found a seat on a nice black leather couch. Looking at her phone she saw that it was 1:50, before turning off her phone she replied to a few texts of congratulations that she received while she was on her way there. Once she was finished, she placed the phone in her purse and started playing with her hands trying the calm herself down. She'd never been so nervous for something a day in her life. This meeting was so important and she didn't want to blow it so she started doing what she did best. Taking a deep breaths, she closed her eyes and just concentrated on the beat of her heart. Once she felt her heart rate slow down, she opened her eyes and watched as her hands stopped shaking and she didn't feel like her body was about to combust. Just as she was about to do it again for good measure she heard the elevator ding and Triple H along with Stephanie walked out of the elevator and headed towards her. Standing up she straightened her romper out again.

"You must be Harleigha?" asked Stephanie

"Yes ma'am I am." she replied as they shook hands

"I've been hearing rumblings of your name lately and last night I was shown your work. You really have amazing talent and my husband couldn't officially tell you over the phone that we wanted you for the job but I'm here to tell you that you're hired." Stephanie said with a huge smile on her face

"Wait are you serious?"

"Yes! We called your employer and we told them about this. We know you have many dealings back in New York but we've worked it out so that you can finish up those and start working for us full time. We understand the next two or three weeks will be a rough schedule going between both jobs but we're definitely willing to work with you on that as best as we can."

"Wow I don't know what to say Stephanie."

"Hopefully you'll say yes."

"Well of course this is an amazing opportunity and I'd be crazy to pass it up."

"Well welcome aboard then!" said Triple H

"How would you feel about flying out with us this evening and heading to a live show that's supposed to be in Baltimore tonight? We'd let you meet the talent and some of the first people that you'll be doing gear for. WrestleMania is right around the corner so we were hoping that after talking to some of them tonight you could get started on some designs." asked Stephanie

"I carry my drawing pads with me everywhere I go so I'm up to the task of getting started tonight."

"Good that is good to hear. The divas will really be excited to have you onboard. I'll make sure they don't overwhelm you." laughed Stephanie

"Oh it wouldn't bother me any. I thrive on chaos."

"Then this is the perfect business for you." said Triple H

"So we'll pick you up from your hotel at 5:30 and head out. Where are you staying?" asked Stephanie

"About thirty minutes away at the Stamford Marriot Hotel."

"Okay great. We'll see you in a couple of hours. I know this was a bit of an unconventional meeting but we're really glad to have you with us."

"Thank you again for the opportunity." Shaking both their hands again Destiny headed out to her car with a huge smile on her face and peace in her heart. The job she always wanted was now hers for the taking. She was about to embark on a journey that years ago she thought would never be within reach. This was her time to shine and she was going to do her best to do right by her talent and her name. She was taught only you can create the life you want to live and with hard work, dedication and a little hope anything can happen. If she didn't take that chance and fill out that application, she'd be waking up tomorrow in the same apartment, catching the same train, and doing the same job. Not that she didn't enjoy her job but this is what she wanted and needed in her life and today it happened. At that moment EVERYTHING CHANGED.
