Chapter 6 - The Lobby Scene
Thirty minutes later, my assistant knocked on my door.
Sarah's face was pale, her voice shaking nervously now.
"Claire, your mother and sister are in lobby."
"They are screaming at the front security guards down."
"They are demanding to come up to your office."
I adjusted my clean blazer jacket with calm composure.
"Thank you, Sarah. I will handle this personally."
I walked out of my suite toward private elevators.
I descended to the main marble lobby ground floor.
The elevator doors slid open into loud shouting noise.
Vanessa was screaming at our head security guard, Marcus.
Her beige dress was messy, her hair unkempt angry.
Linda stood beside her, waving her designer leather purse.
"I am her mother! You let me up now!"
"Ma'am, you do not have an executive pass," Marcus.
I stepped out onto the marble floor tiles calmly.
"It is okay, Marcus. I will speak to them."
Vanessa whipped her head around, her eyes bulging wide.
She marched straight toward me across the open lobby floor.
"You humiliated me at the store, Claire!" Vanessa.
"My card was declined in front of everyone there!"
"It wasn't your card, Vanessa," I replied coldly.
"It was my corporate card that you stole today."
Linda stepped up, pointing her finger at my face.
"You locked your mother's iPad wallet too, Claire!"
"How dare you accuse your own mother of fraud!"
"You added your iPad to my account without permission."
I stated, letting my voice carry across the lobby.
Dozens of corporate employees stopped walking to listen carefully.
My mother's face went from angry red to white.

She realized where she was standing in public view.
