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."
