The director nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "They said you took someone else's cake, so they wanted to take yours. They also mentioned that you're not welcome here anymore. If you do come, it could spell trouble for us. Miss Walker, I don't want to push you away, but I can't risk the safety of the children."

"This is outrageous!" Angel exclaimed. "No matter what, they shouldn't lay a hand on the children. It's inhumane!"

"I'm sorry, Director. I didn't mean to cause trouble for you," Nina said, shocked by the audacity of those who would target an orphanage.

"It's not your fault. I should thank you. If it weren't for you, the children wouldn't have had meat so soon," the director expressed her gratitude. "But it seems like you've offended someone. They've blocked your opportunities. I know you work for the television station. They want to make sure you can't stay there."

"It must be Michelle!" Angel interjected. "You refused to help her, so she's using these tactics to threaten you!"

Nina looked at Angel, who was visibly upset. "Nina, she wants you to comply. Only if you help her secure that project will she let you continue with the orphanage project. If she can't do it, she won't let you do it either. She's despicable!"

At the television station, the only person Nina could possibly offend was Michelle. Michelle did not hold back either. She wanted Nina to come to her, or rather, to beg her.

Nina understood why the director did not want to call the police, given the fifty or so children in the orphanage. She needed to resolve the issue herself.
