Audrey’s expression shifted, bing less confrontational.


    Dulcie continued, “I just want to find out who’s responsible.


    If it was you, just admit it and I’ll let it go.


    If this was retaliation for the trouble I caused you yesterday, I get it.


    Then we’re even.


    ”


    Audrey seemed uncertain, ncing at several female colleagues who were her friends.


    Her friends nodded subtly.


    Finally, Audrey confessed, “It was me.


    Yesterday, you left work without finishing your duties.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    I saw Kurte personally to transfer data from yourputer, and today I saw you using a USB drive to upload documents.


    It’s clear you have a special rtionship with Kurt! You’re just an intern, yet from your first day, you’ve had Kurt’s backing and have been overbearing.


    It’s not just everyone here resents you.


    I just did what others wished they could.


    ”


    The group lowered their heads, feeling somewhat guilty, yet they agreed with what Audrey had said.


    “Dulcie, it’s no big deal that you’re involved with Kurt.


    If you were involved with Mr.


    Shaw, that would be something.


    ”


    “How childish.


    ” Dulcie chuckled dismissively.


    Then, as she had dered, Dulcie went ahead to catch the mouse herself, disying remarkableposure.

    The mouse seemed even more frightened upon seeing Dulcie approach.


    She acted swiftly and grabbed the keyboard from Audrey’s desk, rushing to the mouse.


    When the mouse was cornered, Dulcie deftly stepped on its tail and then mmed the keyboard down on it.


    “Abhh!”


    Crunch!


    As the mouse and the colleagues screamed, Dulcie knocked the mouse out.


    Ity motionless.


    ALL the employees were shocked by the scene.


    What a tough woman.


    Audrey’s face drained of color.


    She couldn’t believe Dulcie had used her keyboard to smash the mouse.


    It was utterly repulsive.


    Amidst the astonished gazes of her colleagues, Dulcie turned slowly and dered loudly, “I don’t start trouble, but I don’t back down from it either.


    Don’t try such childish pranks on me.


    I’m not scared of animals.


    Next time you want to challenge me, try putting a snake in my drawer and see whether I or the snake ends up worse off.


    ”


    Dulcie had grown up in a remote vige where she had even encountered poisonous snakes; thus, mice were trivial to her.


    She spoke with rity, and then casually tossed Audrey’s keyboard onto the floor and headed back to her desk.


    As she approached, her colleagues parted to let her pass.


    Dulcie returned to her desk, took out the messy drawer, and carried it to the restroom to clean.
