As the foreign beauty lowers you into your purse, Jen storms into the room just in time to catch the woman red-handed.

“What’s going on here?! What are you doing with him?! I don’t know where you’re from but here shop owners don’t tolerate theft, especially of valuable items!” Jen says, angrily.

The woman’s eyes grow wide in fear as she brings you back out of her purse and puts you back in the open jar. Your hear sinks as you’re dropped back in your glass prison. You know Jen doesn’t care about you as a person, only as a piece of valuable merchandise.

“Oh uh, I just saw him on the floor and wanted to keep him. I didn’t know you were selling him, honest!” the woman says, trying to act innocent.

“Uh huh, and why is his jar unscrewed then?” says Jen, clearly not buying it.

“Uh I don’t know, he must’ve tried to escape or something.” The woman says nervously.

Jen screws the lid to your jar back on and picks you up.

Does she believe the Italian woman’s story?
