A sharp, amused laugh that made Chinwa's smirk falter for a fraction of a second.
"Oh, Chinwa," Nnenna said, shaking her head. "See, I did not call you here to beg."
That made Chinwa blink.
Nnenna smiled, slow and deliberate. "I called you here to tell you that you had better go back out there and give us back our jobs."
Chinwa stared at her, stunned for a moment before letting out a disbelieving scoff. "What?"
"You heard me," Nnenna said, shrugging like it was the most natural thing in the world. "Go back, tell the manager the truth, and give us back our jobs."
Silence.
A tense, electric silence.
Then Chinwa let out a short, sharp laugh. "You are mad," she said, her voice edged with irritation.
Nnenna tilted her head slightly. "Am I?"
