Serena and Cassie discreetly stole glances at each other, certain that they had crushed Brooke's morale completely. However, nothing could've prepared them for the assault that followed shortly…
"Cut corners?" Brooke scoffed, "The only one cutting corners here is you, Cassie Crane!" She challenged boldly.
Cassie's lip twitched, "Shifting blame won't…"

A nervous line of sweat ran across Cassie's forehead, she had no idea what was going through Brooke's head, and had half a mind to turn off the live stream before anything could happen.
"Oh, and don't tell me you're going to run away." Brooke's prickly tone teased, making Cassie ball her fist under the table.
