"Excuse me? I am sick of this ducking bullshit you have been spreading about me! You were a nobody till you got lucky and won the BBU title, since then you are supposed to be a big shot right, I earned my spot at the top long before you bytch!" Fires back Mila with some of that fire seemingly in her eyes.
