Betty paced back and forth in the hallway in distress, her entire body trembling. As far as she knew, she was about to refuse Ashley's nonsense offer in the most polite way she could. But before she could even do that, Ashley had already run her mouth with wild add-ons Betty wouldn't have even thought of doing—or thinking!
"I'm dead, am I? I'm dead—" her panicked murmuring stopped when she caught sight of a figure emerging from the end of the hallway.
Ashley!
Betty perked up and dashed toward her.
"Madam!" she intoned, fidgeting with her fingers as she walked alongside Ashley. "Madam, I think I caused a misunderstanding last night. About your offer—"
She stopped when Ashley halted in her tracks. Betty cleared her throat as the madam turned to her.
"What about my offer?" Ashley asked, tilting her head to the side. "Right… I haven't discussed some other things. Come with me. I'll show you what you'll need to do. We'll discuss the terms while we're at it."
