"Emily..." said Debby, as she felt uncomfortable when Emily looked at her with disappointment. When she was about to say something, Emily interrupted her and said,"Come on, mom! Eat up or the food will get cold. I just need to pop out for a while. Wait here for me. Don't go anywhere."
The reason why Emily said that wasn't entirely because she didn't want to continue the meaningless conversation with Debby, but because she also noticed Tina standing outside the french window, with a hostile expression on her face.
'What does this woman want now?' Emily thought.
Emily had grown tired of Tina's incessant pestering. She and Debby weren't having their meals in a private room, so with other people around, Emily wasn't worried that Tina would hurt her.
However, she couldn't stop wondering what atrocious tricks Tina had set aside for them. Emily didn't think that it was a coincidence that she ran into Tina twice today.
Emily decided to find out what Tina's intentions were, so she got up and walked out.
What she didn't notice was that Debby had seen Tina as well. Debby, however, wondered what she should do and pretended like she hadn't seen Tina, as she carried on enjoying her meal. 'Emily and Tina don't get along at all. I wonder if they're going to have an argument again?' Debby wondered.
Caught in between two daughters, Debby couldn't tell who she was more worried about, Emily or Tina. After brief consideration, she gritted her teeth and decided to go after Emily.
"What the hell do you want, Tina?" said Emily, as she looked at the arrogant woman standing in front her with contempt. It was such a pity, because within that beautiful appearance lay a vicious, black heart. Like a snake, you couldn't tell when she would jump up to bite you.
"What do I want?" said Tina.
Strangely enough, even Tina didn't know what she wanted to do. Besides, it's not like she could harm this woman publicly. Tina was just so spiteful, that she she couldn't even stand to watch them enjoy their meal with pleasure, especially Emily.
"Oh please! Get off your high horse. Did you forget about the day you knelt at my feet and polished my shoes? I didn't. You looked like a pathetic dog that day. No, even a dog looks better than you..."
"Pah!" Tina was rudely interrupted by a tight slap to the face. Emily couldn't put up with Tina's chattering so she cut her off abruptly with the palm of her hand. Stunned, Tina staggered backwards, clutching her face, eyes watering.
"Are you done?" said Emily, as she looked at Tina with icy cold eyes. She continued,"Tina, only a petty bitch like you can start troubles out of nothing."
Astounded, Tina's beautiful eyes widened and her pupils constricted. Driven mad with anger, she said,"How dare you..."
Tina raised her hand to deliver a thunderous smack on Emily's cheeks, but since Emily saw her coming, she moved like the wind and quickly dodged Tina's hand.
"You bitch! Go to hell!" Tina screamed out in anger and frustration.
Drunk with anger, Tina was so infuriated that she had abandoned her grace and manners. Like a tigress, she shoved Emily and pounced on her, with the intention of tearing her apart, limb from limb.
Watching them from the sidelines, Debby soon realized that things had gotten out of hand. When she moved forward to stop the girls from fighting, someone stopped the fight before she could even get there.
"Don't move, unless you wish to die!"
Startled by the voice, both Tina and Emily stopped to see who it was. When they turned around, they saw five to six masked men, all dressed in black approaching them.
The area they were in was remote and sparsely populated. It was the perfect place to commit a crime and get away with it.
All of a sudden, Emily's heart sank to the ground, as she nervously clenched her hands. Tina soon released her grip on Emily's collar and looked at the men disdainfully and said,"What? What do you want?"
Having had no response, Tina smiled virulently and continued,"Money? I can give you money, plus a woman." Tina offered them money and pointed towards Emily, arrogantly.
