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."

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

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

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