Michelle quickly attempted to slam the door shut, desperate to keep Mrs. Perez, Theodore's wife, from entering. Panic surged through her as she struggled to secure the door, knowing that if Mrs. Perez made it inside, things would spiral out of control.
Just as Michelle managed to close the door, Mrs. Perez, a woman in her early forties with long brown hair and piercing, stern eyes, glared at her. In one swift motion, she shoved the door back open, using her strength to overpower Michelle's attempt to lock her out. Michelle's heart raced as Mrs. Perez's intense gaze bore into her, signaling that she wouldn't be stopped so easily.
"So you're the slut that wants to snatch my husband away from me?" She questioned Michelle, who took several steps back, her eyes darting around as she searched for something she could use for protection against the furious woman. "I'm talking to you!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Michelle instantly defended.
