Cutthroat Woman Outsmarts Co-Worker When He Confronts Her About Office Misdeeds
SCENE OPENS ON Madison (Eliza Ibarra). She is in her kitchen, making a smoothie. She pours fruit juice over the ice cubes in the blender. Her moves are very graceful and purposeful. She is about to turn the blender on when her doorbell rings. She looks as if she’s not expecting anyone. She wipes her hands on a nearby hand-towel and leaves to go answer the door.
Madison answers the door and greets her colleague Jordan (Lucas Frost). She invites him in and leads him to the kitchen. As Madison makes her smoothie, Jordan reveals why he’s come to see Madison, accusing her of engineering the departure of various co-workers through shady means to further her career. He asks her what she’s willing to offer him in exchange for his silence.
Madison smiles thinly, not a hint of worry showing on her face. She turns on the blender. The ice is loudly crushed into oblivion.

‘FINE, hope you can handle me,’ Jordan says.
‘Bring it on,’ Madison responds, flashing a wicked grin.
Jordan may think he knows what’s in store for him, but he has no idea what Madison is REALLY capable of…
