"Don't you know that the newbie is supposed to stay behind, make sure everything is in order, sweep the floors, and then close the shop?"
The realization struck like lightning.
Heads snapped toward Nnenna, who stood with her phone in her hand, the speaker playing loud and clear.
Chinwa's expression twisted in horror.
"Of course, I mean the entire shop."
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
"That's Chinwa!" someone whispered, eyes widening.
"She did say that?" another murmured in shock.
The employees stole glances at Chinwa, who had gone completely stiff.
The recording continued
"I am not going to do that," Nnenna's voice rang out defiantly.
Then came Chinwa's sharp retort, her tone laced with mockery
"What do you mean by that? Every single person here has done it, and yet you're saying you won't? What exactly are you trying to say?"
The murmurs grew louder.
A manager scoffed. "Wow. So this was all planned."
"She set them up," another whispered.
