“It’s time Spencer” Spencer and Edward had gotten acquainted on the drive down, so they were on a first name bases. Actually most of people who worked for Ashley were pleasant enough to have a conversation with.

“Thank you Edward, I’ll be right back” Spencer put on a sweet smile; she knew Ashley was kidding earlier, but she still needed to make a good impression on the other Mrs Davies.

So putting on her graceful self image she walked straight in to the art studio, which was quite big for just one person. From the entrance Spencer could hear a child crying, guessing it was Sophia she walked closer to the noise.

Upon walking round the corner, she saw a little girl no older than 4 cowering in the corner, with a lanky woman standing over her, brandishing a paintbrush at the young girl.

“I told you not to touch my things, you little shit! And shut up I barely touched you” The woman was screaming at who Spencer assumed to be Sophia.

“I-I’m sowwy. I d-didn’t mean t-to” it was hard to understand through all the sobbing, but being that young, Spencer was sure it was an accident.

“You’ll never learn” The woman went to strike Sophia with the think paint brush, that she held in her hand. Thankfully Spencer was quicker and had predicted her move already. So by the time the other Mrs Davies’ hand came down Spencer had caught her by the arm, the paint mere inches away from Sophia’s face.

“Mrs Davies, I’m here to collect Sophia. Ashley sent me” Spencer glared at the woman. Spencer being quite tall looked slight down at Ashley’s wife. And she didn’t approve of hitting children no matter what they had done.

“How dare you touch me, do you know who I am?!” She was almost spitting in Spencer’s face.

“Quite frankly I don’t care who you are and I’m here to collect Sophia, by Mrs Davies orders, so if you’d be so kind as to lower your arm and step away, then myself and Sophia will be on our way” Her voice was eerily calm. There was no threat in her voice, but that was a slight authority to it.

“Whatever, take her and leave” Mrs Davies through the paint brush opposite wall and stormed into the next door that lead to her office.
