Bullying Sophia

Stella seemed caught off guard by Sophia's question and hesitated for a moment.

"Why do you want to know?" Stella asked.

"I'm just curious," Sophia replied.

"Without a reason, I won't tell you," Stella retorted.

Sophia sighed. "Okay, I'm just curious."

Stella sneered. "Do you really think I'll believe that?"

"Fine," Sophia admitted. "I was wondering if you hate me because I look like someone you know."

"That's more like it," Stella said, taking a sip of water and glaring at Sophia with disgust. "Yes, you look like a woman I despise, and that's why I hate you."

"What's the name of the woman you hate?" Sophia pressed on. "Where is she now? What did she do to make you hate her?"

"You're asking too many questions!" Stella slammed her hand on the table in anger. "Write a check for ten million and disappear."

Sophia seemed about to write her own name but looked up and saw the excitement on Anna and Stella's faces. They couldn’t hide their anticipation.
