Leanna asked, “Are you sure it happened half a month ago?”

Before the girl could answer, the middle-aged woman said, “That doesn’t matter. She got it from you guys, and now we want a refund. You’re wasting our time here.”

The woman answered, “You’re still going to have to pay for wasting my time and energy. Just add it all up. Makes things easier for us.”

“How much would you want?”
