She Didn't Have A Chance

Jessica's slap sent Laura Kiels staggering backward, almost falling to the floor.

Her cheeks felt sore and hot as she rubbed them with both hands while looking confused at Jessica Sinclair; why did this woman hit her!?

"Au-Aunty Je-Jessica, why did you slap me?! What did I do that made you slap me?" Laura Kiels asked in her whimper, almost crying, shocked and confused.

Laura Kiels never imagined Jessica Sinclair, the woman she respected the most, laying her finger on her as soon as they met without a single word or warning. 

'What did I do to make this woman angry like this? What?' Laura wonders in confusion and fear. 

Her chaotic mind was scrambling to think what fault she might have done. But so far, she only recalled one mistake. But it's a small one where she didn't come to the agreed filming location. 

'Did she hit me because of that?' She felt utterly perplexed and started to feel angry.
