Well, Lilly has finally had it. Following last week's bungle when Zach offered to pay Lilly to date him, he continued to stick his foot in his mouth by insisting that really was what he meant. Disgusted, Lilly told him she must decline his offer and attempts to leave. He stopped her at the door, demanding to know why she won't help him. Here is Lilly's response. Enjoy!
“Sir, if what you are looking for is an
escort, I am sure they have a service you can call.” Any concern about the loss of her job faded against her growing rage at his presumptions. “If you are looking for more than a date and
need bed services too, find yourself a hooker.
I am no prostitute!”
Zach’s eyes
widened in shock, and his hand dropped away from the door frame.
Lilly yanked the door so hard, it flew open and
bounced off the wall.

Well I hope this will teach Zach to be more careful with his words in the future. LOL I want more! Specifically I want to know if anyone was hurt by the bouncing door, but I also want to see how (or if) Zach fixes this. Great six!
