“All” Shania cried out, her eyes wide with terror.

Maggie responded quickly, observing Shania’s actions in the mirror without turning around..

Thus, she promptly stood and stepped aside when the coffee spilled.

Yet Shania came prepared, and soon, the coffee drenched both Heidi and Maggie.

“I’m so sorry, Maggie! It was an accident, I swear!” Shania said, her face wrought with worry as she apologized repeatedly.

Maggie looked on with a neutral expression, silently assessing her. Meanwhile, she could feel the dampness on her shoulders as she watched the coffee stains spread across her attire.

“What’s going on here?” Danielle rushed in upon hearing the disturbance.

Upon seeing Maggie soaked in coffee, she blanched.

Tears welling up, Shania stammered, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t notice Heidi wasn’t ready to take it. I was just trying to pass it quickly and ended up spilling it on Maggic.

Heidi grimaced, interjecting, “You let go of your hand even though I clearly wasn’t ready.”

Sierra scowled and chided, “Are you stupid? You can’t even manage this simple task. If this delays the competition today, you’ll be hearing from me!”

At Sierra’s reprimand, Shania burst into tears.

“You’re fired,” Sierra stated icily.

Danielle and Heidi were seething but held back from rebuking Sierra at that moment.

“Maggie, there’s still plenty of time before your performance. Take care of this first. Ms. Agnes just delivered the clothes, so you have time.”

Danielle looked at Maggie in concern, worried that she would be affected.

Maggie kept her composure and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
