Consequences for her words

As Jennifer went home, she got a dozen calls from the director and Maryanne. Jennifer decided to ignore them, smugly content her lie had covered for her shame. Her plan to not acknowledge her employer fell apart though when she arrived at her house and saw Maryanne waiting out front for her.

"Hello?" Jennifer said as she stepped out of her car. "What are you doing here?"

"The question is, what do you think you're doing?" Maryanne said angrily.

"Whatever do you mean?" Jennifer asked innocently.

"That BS you just said on that talk show!" Maryanne snapped. "You're making the studio look like liars, and bringing into question the entire legitimacy of the show!"

"So?" Jennifer said flippantly. "I read my contract: there's no constraints over what I say outside of work."

"That may be true." Maryanne said, getting close to Jennifer. "But there will be consequences for this. That I can assure you."

"Oh, I'm shaking." Lauren rolled her eyes. "Now get off my property, I'm going to bed."

Jennifer pushed past Maryanne and entered her house, leaving the angry woman outside.
