The young woman slowly stood up, wiping the liquid from her face. Her eyes were not angry. Not embarrassed.
Just steady.
“I think there’s been a misunderstanding,” she said softly.
The metallic-dressed woman scoffed. “Oh please. I decide who belongs here.”
That was when the manager rushed in, pale as paper.
“Miss… we may have a problem,” he whispered nervously to the woman who had been humiliated.
