Jessica tosses her flaming hair and says, "Don't play stupid with me. I know what you want from him, and I'm not going to let you get it."
Avery steps back and calmly waits for Jessica to move out of her way. Jessica looks at her as if she's sizing her up. She frowns and steps out of the elevator, but continues to block Avery's path.
"I mean it, you need to leave my brother alone," Jessica says. "If you don't, I'll show you just how well I can follow through on my threats."
Avery rolls her eyes, and Jessica raises her hand to slap her across the face. Avery flinches and turns her head to the side, but the slap never lands. Jessica's bodyguard has rushed out of the elevator and grabbed her delicate wrist. Avery steps past the two of them get in the elevator and slam her finger into the close door button.
"Get your hands off me," Jessica shrieks. "What the hell? What gives you the right to grab me?"
