When They Beg, I Rise!

Evelina screamed, "Lemira knocked me out and brought me here!"

Lemira's lips curled into a cold smile, "No, we were going over the project proposal together. It got late, and you fell asleep."

"You're lying! You knocked me out and brought me here. You knew what was going to happen. You set me up on purpose."

At that moment, Evelina was so furious she wished she could wring Lemira's neck.

Lemira retorted, "What do you mean I knew what was going to happen? Do you have any proof?"

"Of course, I do! The hallway has..."

Now she had no proof that Lemira had brought her here.

What was she going to do?

Lemira's eyes were icy, "You were going to say there are cameras, right? Fine, then go check the footage. Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because you know the cameras were turned off by Zack and there's no evidence?"

"No, how could I possibly know? You're the one who turned them off, not me!"
