Cassie could not bear to have her role stolen, she slapped Brooke's hand away, and raised her hand to hit her, but before her hand could come in contact with Brooke's cheek, the woman lunged forward, collapsing into Ethan's arms.
"Ah!" Brooke cried, holding the side of her face.
Ethan defensively held tightly onto her, "Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" he whispered in a panicked frenzy.
Brooke sniffled, "Why would you hit me? Is it bad that I tried to help us retain that contract?" she asked, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Cassie! Have you lost your mind? What sort of petty jealousy is this?!" Ethan scolded harshly.
Cassie stared at her hand, she had hit Brooke so many times that she knew the satisfying sensation that came with it. She was positive that she had not hit her Brooke was merely faking it.
"I didn't hit her-"
Ethan cut her off, "Don't lie! We all know how much you hate Brooke, but this is taking it too far."
