Emma tries to adjust, but every step forward feels like walking through fire. Sofia strikes her first blow--and Alex's stare turns into something more dangerous.
[Scene:Break Room -- Lunchtime]
Nina(Emma's Co worker)
Be careful. Sofia’s targeting you already.
Emma(FL)
Why? I didn't even say a word to her.
Nina(Emma's Co worker)
Because Alex looked at you.
[Scene:HR Office -- Unexpected Meeting]
Sofia(Alex's assistant)
Emma Miller...
There's been a complaint about you already.
Emma(FL)
What?! From who?
Sofia(Alex's assistant)
Someone said you were flirting with Mr. Knight.
Emma(FL)
I--I didn’t! I barely spoke to him!
Sofia(Alex's assistant)
(smiling sweetly)
Tread carefully. This company eats weaklings alive.
[Scene: Office -- Alex appears suddenly]
Alex(ML)
Follow me.
Emma(FL)
Am I in trouble?
Alex(ML)
No. But I need to see you.
Emma(FL)
(softly) See me?
Alex(ML)
I don't trust you. But I'm intrigued.
That's more dangerous than hate.
