“This will teach her a great lesson not to mess with us”. Becky said.

” Exactly, she will remain there”.Angela said.

“What if the manager came looking for her?” Becky asked curiously.

“Then we will tell her, she left and didn’t tell us where she was going, this will make the manager get mad and fire her”. Angela said grinning.

” That’s a great idea, then we can have our spot back”. they hit their palms together and walk away laughing.
