Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 12

Samantha had barely sat down for a few minutes when a waitress suddenly burst into the break room, looking flustered and pale.

"Where's Samantha? Is she here?"

Huddled in the corner, trying to slack off, Samantha hesitantly raised her hand. At that moment, she was very worried that she had been caught slacking.

She had only sat down for a few minutes. Even the hardest workers deserved a break, right?

"Juliet has been looking everywhere for you! She's mad right now! Hurry up and come with me to Room One!"

"Room One?" Samantha was caught off guard.

That room again? She had been doing her best to avoid it.

The waitress didn't have time to explain. She grabbed Samantha's arm and dragged her toward the door. "Just go! It's a mess in there, and Juliet is going to lose her temper!"

Samantha was even more confused. What did this have to do with her? She hadn't even set foot in that room since she began her shift.

As she was pulled along at full speed, she quickly put her mask back on. By the time they reached the door of Room One, she hadn't even had a chance to compose herself before she was shoved inside.

Samantha was taken aback. They weren't even going to give her a second to prepare.

The moment she stepped in, she sensed something was wrong. The room was eerily silent, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

Samantha hadn't even had time to figure out what was going on before Juliet grabbed her and pulled her to the center of the room.

"Samantha, explain this to Mr. Stewart and Mr. Garrett. I told someone to call you over, so why did Xenia show up instead?"

That was when Samantha noticed Xenia on the floor, her mask removed and a red handprint on her face. She was completely stunned, especially after hearing what Juliet just said

"I don't know—"

Before she could finish, Xenia immediately cut in. "We told you! You refused to come and begged me to take your place, and now you're acting like you don't know anything? Do you realize how much trouble you've caused me?"

"What are you talking about?"

"If you hadn't asked me, why would I have dared to come here?" Xenia asked, turning to Wesley and Leonardo. "It was really her idea! She said everyone wears masks, so no one would even notice. I didn't think too much about it and just helped her out, but now… I regret it so much. I should've never agreed!"

She was trying to drag Samantha down with her.

The situation had blown up, and the consequences were severe. Pinning the blame on Samantha was the only way out so that she could save herself.

"That never happened. No one told me anything, and I never said those words to you."

"Oh, please… Plenty of people in the break room can back me up!" Xenia shot back. Her tone was firm and unwavering, as if she were telling the truth.

She had always gotten along well with the other girls, and she was confident they would take her side.

Men like Wesley and Leonardo wouldn't waste their precious time digging into the details. They would go with the majority, and when that happened, Samantha was done for.

Desperate, Samantha defended herself. "I haven't even spoken to her today, let alone asked for a favor. If you don't believe me, check the security cameras!"

"Huh? Check the security cameras? Do you think Mr. Stewart and Mr. Garrett have nothing better to do than waste their time over this? Everyone here can back me up, so why bother?"

Samantha narrowed her eyes. "You don't want to check because you're lying, aren't you?"

"I'm not lying! Everything I said is true, and plenty of people can vouch for me. Can anyone vouch for you?"

As Wesley's expression turned grim, his patience visibly wore thin.
