"Shannon, didn't you say that Sarah is somewhere nearby? Why did you push me in?" demanded Vivian angrily.
"You actually bought that? My gosh, Vivian William, looks like you haven't gotten any smarter in the past five years. You are still that idiot who is, oh so easy, to con," replied Shannon while crouching down and looking right at Vivian.
"What is the meaning of this? Did you trick me over? Why would you do that? Where is Sarah?” demanded Vivian, who was furious at herself when she finally grasped what was going on. I knew it. I shouldn't have trusted that woman!
"That brat is as annoying as you are. How would I know where she is? To tell you the truth, I never heard her calling for help. I only told you that to con you into coming over, and as for my intention
of bringing you over..."
Shannon trailed off and paused for a moment before she glared evilly and answered, "Well, it's to teach you a f*cking lesson, of course."
"Shannon Ulrich, I will freaking fire you!" roared Vivian. Resentment and regret filled her heart when she heard what Shannon said.
Shannon had always gone against Vivian at work, and Vivian would've fired the girl if she wasn't a senior in the office who had contributed years to the company. Not only is she not thankful for it, she's trying to hurt me!
"Awh, how intimidating," said Shannon sarcastically before she added, "You'd have to actually get out of there to threaten my job."
"I'm warning you, Shannon. You won't get away with it. I came over to look for Sarah with you, and everyone saw us leaving together. You'd be the first one they turn to if they can't find me," reminded Vivian, who was performing pretty well under duress.
She added, "You will be the primary suspect, so you better find a way to get me out of here before the situation spiral out of control."
