A Scandalous Name

Liam's body shivered in disgust. The person who called his name in a pretend sweet voice was Samantha. 

"Oh? Mr. Bennett, it really is you. What a surprise! Were you doing a little shopping here too?"

Liam didn't feel even the slightest urge to talk to her today. Or at any other time for that matter. Shifting his gray eyes away from her as quickly as he could, he simply walked past her, paying her no more attention. 

Samantha, however, didn't mean to give up just yet.

"Mr. Bennett," she shouted again, "Wait a minute, please!"

Liam stopped and sighed, but didn't turn around. Accepting his unwelcoming behavior, Samantha ran to him and when she found herself standing in front of the man, Mr. Bennett arched his eyebrows, and asked coldly, "What is it?"

"Oh," Samantha looked him up and down and upon noticing that his hands were empty, asked, "What were you doing here?"

"That's hardly any of your business."
