Inside, the strange lady was most likely who Ash expected as Maria leaned against the table, going through the mail that had been delivered, sorting it by recipient, from individual staff members to spam to hopeful young wrestlers wanting to join the dojo, two mugs of coffee on the desk, one for Maria, one for Ash.

Mail is being sorted, I've made a requisition order for new yoga mats and punching bags as well as an extra heavy set of weights for the rookies. I've gone shopping for LILLITH's kitchen, adding extra eggs and put in an order for two extra AC units come summer."Leaning against the desk a bit more, Maria observed her fellow former IC title champion.
