“Balfour, are you actually insinuating that I deliberately knocked Ms. Lewis down and then played the innocent right in front of you?”

A quick frown creased Balfour’s brow before smoothing out again. “I didn’t say that, but you know exactly what went down in that restroom. You claim ignorance and you couldn’t even hold my gaze. How do you expect me to take your word for it?”
