Bette approached Helena who was putting her sunglasses in
her purse. “Helena, I need to speak to you.”

Helena glanced at Bette and smiled. “Now, Bette I thought we
put all this past us. All the bad blood is not good for business.

Bette got in Helena’s face. “I’m not referring to that and
you know it. I’m talking about Tina. You can’t be putting her in fights in the
shape she is in.”

Helena waved Bette off. “She wants to be a boxer and make
money, so to do that you need fights. I’m just making the girl’s dreams come
true. She wanted it more than me and she has been winning the fights. She is
fine.”

Bette balled her fists. “She is “fine?” Have you seen her
fucking face? That does not look fine to me. She needs to heal, Helena. She
can’t take that much pounding in a matter of two weeks. That is not good for
her.”

Helena sighed. “Bette, quit worrying about my boxer. I do
know how to do my job so stop meddling in it. All I need to do is train her to
protect her face more.”

Bette shook her head with a dry chuckle. “You are a piece of
work. You don’t care about her health or wellbeing. One more fight could injure
her permanently if she doesn’t get the proper time to heal. You do realize
this?”

Helena remained staring at Bette, teeth clenched. “I don’t
care, Bette. She knew when becoming a boxer she had to work hard to get her
money regardless of minor damage.”

Bette laughed. “Oh my god. You call her face minor? I’d
really hate to see major to you. It would probably require a body bag. You do
not deserve to have her as a boxer. She isn’t ready to fight the fights you are
throwing her in. She needs a lot more training.

Helena laughed in Bette’s face. “Man, no wonder why your
girlfriend cheated on you and then turned around and fired you.”

Bette was sick of Helena bringing up that moment in her
life. She could not believe Helena had the audacity to even mention it again.

Bette was seeing red to the point that she did not realize
her fist was raised above her head. With a quick motion, it went crashing into
Helena’s face.

Helena stumbled back and wiped the blood from the corner of
her mouth. “You are fucking crazy.”

She walked past Bette towards the locker room.

Bette stood there staring down at her fist still balled up.
She couldn’t believe she did that but there was no other way she could have
handled the situation.

Tina retreated back into the locker room when she saw Helena
coming. She had heard the whole conversation that was said. She knew that Bette
had her best interest. Tina was taken aback by the punch Helena received from
Bette. She had never seen Bette get so angry before but whatever Helena had
said completely unraveled Bette.

Helena pushed down on her split bottom lip adding pressure
to stop the bleeding. She walked into the locker room and saw Tina standing
there. She shook her head. “Bette has completely lost her mind. She should not
train another person as long as she lives and I’ll make sure of it.”
