"Are you threatening me?" Jennifer, ever the drama queen, only had a flicker of panic in her eyes before she settled into a sneer. "Do you have any idea what happens to people who cross me?"
"I'm all ears," I said, playing along.
"Right now, I call shots at the company, and you're about to be sidelined!"
I pointed to the camera. "Everything's already recorded."
Jennifer, fuming and tottering on her high heels, stormed out with her bag swinging.
After that, Emily asked, "You really do have a camera in here?"
"Not really. Just bluffing her."
"And how are things with Bruce?"
"Not great."
Since Bruce made his feelings known, I'd been avoiding him to dodge any further complications. With Jennifer's exaggerations and the company's growing issues, I was feeling pretty cornered.
"Cecilia, the company's lined up a variety show for you. It'll be a good way to lay low for a while."
"What variety show, Emily?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
