Leah's pastries and cocktails were sent airborne, the cocktail splashing onto her evening dress.
Leah gasped, "Are you okay?" She extended a hand to help the woman, who was both embarrassed and irked. Unable to control her temper, she picked up her stiletto and swung it at Leah's head.

She grimaced in pain as the heel broke her skin, blood immediately oozing out.
Atall figure swept over like a hurricane, furiously snatching the stiletto fram the woman's hand and tossing it several feet away.

Aurelia watched her retreating figure, a spark of anger flaring in her eyes.
Elvis joined her, "This is going to cause a commotion on social media soon. Let's inform Arnold and the PR department of Serenity Films to see how they want to handle this" Aurelia nodded in agreement.

And don't go to the set tomorrow. Let others handle the work" She pouted, "I'm fine, and you don't have to worry." "Good girl, listen to me,” Avery said, showing a bit of dominance.
