Mark pulled his hands away from Elena's shoulders, standing up straight as if her pain were nothing more than an inconvenience.
Mark: I'm just being realistic. Upper management hates messy public disputes.
Elena: My health and my child's safety are not a corporate dispute, Mark!
Mark: Take it up with HR tomorrow morning. Right now, I have a budget meeting to attend.
The woman in the tweed blazer calmly straightens her jacket with a smug expression.
SFX: Low tension chord
Emily adjusted her cuffs with slow, deliberate movements, looking down at Elena with pure disdain.
Emily: See? Even your closest allies know when you're being dramatic.
Elena: You are a monster, Emily. Security is going to review the corridor logs.
Emily: The logs will show an clumsy employee slipping on a wet floor near the coffee station.
She leans closer with a cold smile.
Voice (Woman in Blazer - BOLD & COLD): "No one will believe you."
Elena: The truth always comes out, even when corrupt people try to bury it.
Emily: In this company, truth is whatever the person with the highest title says it is.
Elena: My uncle is on the executive board. He will hear about every single thing you did today.
Emily let out a sharp, mocking laugh that echoed off the polished corporate walls.
Emily: Your uncle retired from active oversight months ago. He has no power here anymore.
Can Elena hold on long enough for someone with true authority to witness this nightmare?
Elena: He never signed his resignation papers. He still holds absolute veto power.
