The sharp sound of the sudden impact echoed off the glass panels, freezing nearby workers in their tracks.
Elena: Oh! My stomach... please, somebody help me!
Emily: Stop crying like a baby. You just slipped on some spilled coffee, that's all.
Elena: You kicked me... you deliberately aimed at my stomach while I was holding these files.
Emily: Prove it. There are no security cameras facing directly into this specific alcove.
The pregnant woman crashes onto the hallway floor, clutching her stomach in pain[cite: 1].
SFX: Fall impact[cite: 1]
Tears welled up in Elena's eyes as blinding pain shot through her lower abdomen, making it difficult to catch her breath.
Elena: The baby... please, someone call an ambulance right now.
Bystander: Oh god, she's holding her side. Someone needs to get medical help immediately!
Emily: Shut your mouth and keep walking unless you want to lose your job by the end of the day.
The witness hesitated, casting a fearful glance at Emily's sharp blazer and unyielding posture.
Elena: Don't listen to her... please... my phone is right here in my pocket...
A fair-skinned American man rushes over, kneels beside her, and gently supports her[cite: 1].
Voice (Man - BOLD & CALM): "Don't make a scene."[cite: 1]
Elena: Mark? Thank goodness you're here... she deliberately attacked me...
Mark: Just keep your voice down, Elena. You're causing an unnecessary distraction in the middle of the lobby.
Elena: A distraction? She just kicked a pregnant woman! How can you be so cold?
Mark: Because drama like this ruins corporate morale. Now stand up and stop acting helpless.
Will Mark's betrayal hurt worse than the physical blow, or is help finally arriving from an unexpected direction?
Elena: You're covering for her... you knew she was going to do this all along.
