Scene 1: A Promising Applicant
31.10.24, 8:00 AM
Portsmouth Serenity Home's tranquil atmosphere welcomed Sarah Joseph, a stunning young writer.
Janeshwa asked Filler to request the applicant to wait for a few minutes. The staff deliberated.
"We need someone with her skills," Afrah said.
"Agreed," Karthicka added. "Her portfolio is impressive."
Tito nodded. "Revenue potential is substantial."
Clarke Montino raised concerns. "We're rushing into this."
Janeshwa countered, "We've discussed this, Clarke. We need to take calculated risks."
The staff ultimately agreed to recruit the mysterious applicant.
Janeshwa asked Filler to invite her in.
The door opened, and Sarah entered. Her sleeveless violet flower-designed shirt accentuated her toned arms. Long black pants and a matching shawl around her neck exuded elegance. A writer's hat and cool sunglasses added an air of sophistication. A pencil tucked behind her ear completed the ensemble.
"Wow," Afrah whispered.
"Impeccable style," Nitya Sree murmured.
Janeshwa smiled. "Welcome, Miss...?"
"Sarah Joseph," she replied, her voice melodious.
Just as Janeshwa began to introduce the staff, Clarke interrupted.
"Janeshwa, may I have a word?"
Janeshwa nodded. "Excuse us for a moment, Sarah. Please wait outside."
Sarah's eyes sparkled with curiosity but she obliged.
Scene 2: A Sudden Revelation
31.10.24, 8:10 AM
Clarke's objection sparked a heated discussion.
"We can't recruit someone without thorough background checks," Clarke insisted.
Tito countered, "Her application checks out."
Clarke demanded, "Let me see the application again."
As Clarke scanned the pages, his eyes widened.
"Brother, it's the movie girl we always talk about!" he exclaimed.
"Is she her?" Janeshwa asked, intrigued.
"No way!" Clarke replied vehemently.
The staff exchanged skeptical glances.
"What's going on?" Afrah asked.
Clarke hesitated. "I'll explain later. We can't trust her."
Janeshwa's expression turned serious. "Filler, ask her to come in again."
Scene 3: Unforeseen Chaos
31.10.24, 8:15 AM
Filler opened the door.
A smoke bomb exploded inside. The hallway filled with people.
"Ambush!" Filler shouted.
The staff stumbled backward, disoriented.
Through the smoke, Filler saw Sarah swiftly escorted out by unknown individuals.
The chaotic scene froze, then suddenly cleared.
A team of masked individuals assembled, standing poised and alert, surrounding the empty space where Sarah once stood.
Janeshwa's eyes narrowed.
"Where's Sarah?"
Clarke's voice laced with concern.
"Was she the real deal or a decoy?"
The staff's uncertainty hung in the air.
