Of course, Angela knew Smart was giving her a chance, and she wanted to take it. She wanted to defy her conscience and vote for Smart. However, whenever she was about to speak against her conscience, her throat felt blocked, as if something was preventing her from saying the words.
Angela didn’t wish to speak, yet it felt like there was a lump in her throat that wouldn't go away unless she spoke out. So, after holding it in for a while, she finally let it out.
"I say the country bumpkin's cocktail is the best in the world, and I cast my vote for him!” Angela reiterated her decision.
Her words landed like a bolt from the blue on Smart, buzzing in his head like a loud echo. His eyes widened in disbelief as he turned to Angela, “What did you just say? Tell me again who you're voting for?”
Smart’s patience had reached its limit; this was his last, absolute last opportunity for Angela. If she remained stubborn and unrepentant, he would blacklist her without hesitation. It was laughably easy for him to destroy someone he had made.
For someone he spent money on to dare to betray him was unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. Even a dog knows who its owner is—was Angela worse than a dog?
“I’m voting for the country bumpkin! The country bumpkin! The country bumpkin! Because his cocktail is the tastiest! The tastiest! The tastiest!” Angela shouted as if tearing her heart apart.
