Abby’s seemingly sincere words almost convinced Pearl.

Sneering, Pearl said, “I don’t know what you’re plotting this time, but don’t provoke me again, or I won’t let you off the hook.”

A sinister light flitted past Abby’s eyes as she kept her head down. Then, she abruptly raised her hand and struck herself with a hard and forceful slap, startling Pearl.

“I was wrong, and I slapped myself as an apology. Plus, I came back this time to change everyone’s perception of me. I really don’t have any ulterior motives.” Sobbing, Abby continued, “I know that Rick likes you, so I won’t try to snatch him away from you.”

But Pearl found herself amused by yet another of Abby’s self-directed drama. “You’re trying to make Richard witness me bullying you again, huh?”

Covering her face, Abby cried pitifully. “No, I really don’t mean anything else.” Seeing that it was almost time, Abby stopped saying anything else. “Okay, I’m leaving. Do take care of yourself.’

“Bye.”
