Estelle kept a poker face, not even blinking. She swiftly reached out, snatched the snake, wrapped it in denim jacket, and stood up, offering it to Yulia. "You want it? If not, I'm taking it to the kitchen for soup!"
Yulia instinctively recoiled, looking up at Estelle in surprise and stammering, "Take it!"
She had her assistant buy the snake from a pet market. It was non-venomous; she just wanted to scare Estelle by hiding it under her clothes. But she never expected Estelle to be so bold as to grab the snake!
Estelle casually tossed it to the assistant, saying, "Deal with your own mess!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!!!"
The assistant jumped around in fright, eventually throwing the jacket on the floor and sending the snake slithering out.
Yulia immediately hopped onto a chair, with the assistant rushing over to shield her. Their faces paled, and their screams nearly brought the house down.
Estelle couldn't help but want to laugh. They tried to scare her with a snake. She had eaten more snakes than she could count!
Their screams attracted the attention of the staff outside. They rushed in to see what was going on.
Yulia, trembling, said, "Snake, there's a snake; get it out!"
The staff spotted the black snake coiled in the jacket and asked, "How'd a snake get in here?"
"Just get it out!" Yulia shouted.
"Okay, don't worry, we'll remove it right away!" A staff member grabbed a stick and carefully poked the snake, ushering it out.
But after hearing the staff's story, he knew that wasn't the case.
Under Mr. Tucker's interrogation, Yulia's assistant admitted that the snake was bought and that it was Carmella's idea.
Mr. Tucker was speechless!
Yulia had just woken up and was still in shock; he couldn't scold her. So he had Carmella brought to him.
Mr. Tucker looked grim. "Carmella, I want to know if you were sent by another crew to cause trouble? You first dressed Yulia in completely unsuitable clothes, and now this? What are you trying to do?"
Realizing she had been found out, Carmella blurted out, "I just wanted to play a prank on Estelle with Yulia!"
"A prank?" Mr. Tucker said sternly, "This so-called prank almost scared Yulia to death. If something had happened, could you take responsibility? If you can do your job, do it properly. If not, quit. Don't think that Yulia hired you, so I can't fire you. If you pull something like this again, don't blame me for not being polite!"
