Victoria stepped closer to Elena with her arms crossed tightly.
Victoria: How dare you touch my child like that, you foolish maid!
Victoria: You knocked over that vase and tipped his stroller!
Elena: That is not true, Mrs. Sterling, I was in the kitchen!
Victoria: You are careless and dangerous, and you will be fired today!
Elena held the baby tighter, protecting him from the angry woman.
Little Leo buried his small face into Elena's warm shoulder.
He stopped screaming and settled down into soft sobs.
Victoria reached out to snatch the baby away from Elena's arms.
Victoria: Give him to me right now before I call the police!
Elena: No, you are hurting him, and I will not let you!
Just then, the heavy wooden front doors swung wide open.
Richard Sterling stepped into the bright foyer carrying a leather briefcase.
He stopped in his tracks as he saw the terrible mess.
He saw the broken glass, his crying baby, and the two women shouting.
Richard: What happened here?
His strong voice echoed off the high marble walls of the room.
Victoria immediately changed her face and began to cry fake tears.
She ran over to Richard and grabbed his dark suit jacket arm.
Victoria: Oh, Richard, thank goodness you are finally home!
Victoria: Elena dropped a heavy vase and almost hurt our sweet baby!
Victoria: When I tried to stop her, she pushed the stroller over!
Richard's face grew dark with terrible anger and concern.
He looked over at Elena with sharp and cold eyes.
Richard: Is this true, Elena?
Richard: I trusted you to protect my home and my only son.
Elena stood her ground, holding the little boy securely in her arms.
She looked straight into the eyes of the powerful billionaire.
Elena: She is lying to you, Mr. Sterling.
Victoria: How dare you call me a liar in my own home!
Victoria: Richard, fire her right now and have her arrested!
Richard took a step toward Elena, his hands clenched into tight fists.
Richard: You better have a good explanation for this right now, Elena.
Elena reached into her apron pocket with one free hand.
She pulled out her black smartphone and unlocked the clear screen.
Elena: You need to see this!
