Earlier that evening…
The four ladies who bullied Emma returned inside ballroom.
They stopped at the spot from where they can see the doors which are leading toward the terrace, and at the same time they have a good view of Charlie who is engaged in a chat with several men.
"What do you think she will do? Run to Charles for help?", Miss Sparks asked timidly.
"No way. Did you see her face?", Chelsea sneered. "She will run away and never come back."
"But what if she tells Charles what we did?", Miss Thompson asked while pursing her lips.
Chelsea rolled her eyes. "It's four of us against a no-name nurse. What do you think, whose story is more believable?"
Miss Lenihan nodded in agreement. "We can say that we didn't even talk to her. She made it all up."
Other three ladies agreed immediately.
After some time, Miss Sparks told Chelsea: "I think you are right. If she didn't come inside by now, she left the party."
