Harriet took the chicken soup and discreetly inserted a silver needle into it while Nora wasn’t paying attention.

Nora wondered if the drug was fake when Harriet spat out the soup and wrinkled her nose.

“This soup tastes awful. I don’t like it.”

“Are you messing with me?”

Nora angrily walked over and raised her hand to slap Harriet.
