Vanessa: Someone needs to teach you to stay quiet!
Maya: Stop!
Vanessa swung her hand down with brutal force, aiming directly for the elderly woman's fragile cheek.
A sharp motion whoosh filled the air.
Before the slap could connect, Maya lunged forward in her navy uniform.
She caught Vanessa's wrist mid-strike. Her grip was like iron.
Vanessa: Let go of me this instant!
Maya: No.
Vanessa: Are you crazy? You are assaulting me!
Maya: I am stopping you from committing a crime.
Vanessa: She is just a crazy old woman! She wouldn't even remember it.
Maya: I don't care who you are. You don't strike someone who can't defend themselves!
Vanessa: How dare you touch me with your filthy hands!
Maya: Step away from the wheelchair, Vanessa.
Vanessa: Release my arm right now, or I will have you thrown in jail!
Maya: Go ahead and call the police. I would love to tell them what you just tried to do.
Vanessa yanked her arm hard, but Maya refused to let go.
Vanessa: Do you know who I am?!
Maya: I know exactly what you are. You are a bully.
Vanessa: I am Victor Sterling's fiancée! I own this estate!
Maya: You don't own anything yet. The wedding isn't until next month.
Vanessa: You are fired! Pack your bags and get out of my house!
Maya: You don't have the authority to fire me. Only Mr. Sterling signs my paychecks.
Vanessa: I will make sure he ruins your life. You will never work in this city again.
Helena: Please... stop yelling.
Vanessa: See what you did? You are upsetting the old hag.
Maya: You are the one screaming in a sequined gown in the middle of the afternoon.
Vanessa: Let go of my wrist, you stupid girl!
Maya: Only if you promise to walk away.
Vanessa: I am going to make you pay for this.
