Sarah dropped her serving tray instantly onto the long mahogany dining table.
The loud crash of silver utensils echoed loudly across the decorated banquet hall.
She sprinted directly toward the bottom of the white marble staircase without hesitation.
Leo tumbled down the last three steps and landed heavily on the polished floor.
Sarah slid across the slippery tile and scooped the weeping boy safely into her arms.
She held him tightly against her blue apron while shielding his head from further harm.
Sarah: I have you, sweetheart. You are completely safe now.
Leo: My knee hurts so bad, Sarah! She pushed me away from her!
Sarah looked down at the boy's bruised knee and felt absolute fury rising inside her.
She gently stood Leo up behind her back to protect him from the approaching threat.
Evelyn marched slowly down the grand stairs with a smirk on her painted face.
Evelyn: Look at the clumsy little fool making a giant scene in public.
Sarah: Get your hands away from him right now!
Evelyn: How dare you raise your voice at me in my own mansion?
Sarah: You are a monster for scaring a child like that!
Evelyn: He tripped over his own big feet because he is completely useless.
Sarah: I saw you grab his arm and force him toward those dangerous stairs!
Evelyn raised her gloved hand to slap Sarah across her face in anger.
Sarah reacted with lightning speed and grabbed Evelyn's wrist firmly in mid-air.
Sarah: Do not touch me, and do not ever lay a hand on this boy!
Evelyn: Release me immediately, you dirty low-class catering girl!
Sarah: You are nothing but a bully wrapped in an expensive diamond dress!
Evelyn yanked her arm back forcefully and adjusted her messy blonde hair in frustration.
The surrounding catering staff stopped working and watched the intense showdown in shock.
Guests began gathering near the grand archway to see the source of the commotion.
Evelyn: Security! Get this crazy waitress out of my house this instant!
Sarah: Call the police instead, because I am reporting child endangerment right now!
Leo gripped the back of Sarah's blue shirt with his small, trembling fingers.
Leo: Please don't let her take me away, Sarah!
Sarah: I am not going anywhere without making sure you are safe, Leo.
Evelyn stepped closer with a cold sneer, pulling out her personal cell phone.
Evelyn: I will have you arrested for assault and blacklisted from every job!
Sarah: Go ahead and call them, because the truth will come out today.
