Dear Diary,
I had a most unpleasant experience this morning.
I was shopping for
a birthday present at the Tiffany Gift Shop. After
deciding on a
beautiful musical box for Sharon, I proceeded to the
cashier to pay. As I was
walking out of the shop, I was
apprehended by
tow fierce looking men. They
introduced themselves as the security
guards of the shop and accused
me of shoplifting. I stared at them blankly and
opened my mouth
to protest. However, before I could
say/utter a
word, I was practically dragged into a nearby
office.
The two men insisted on
searching my handbag. I allowed them to
do so
since this was the only way to prove my
innocence. To my
horror, one of the men drew
out a pen from my bag. The price
tag on the pen
carried the name of the gift shop. In a flash, I
remembered/recalled
that I had absent-mindedly slipped this pen
into my bag
after examining it. I explained to the two men that
it was an honest
mistake but they would not listen. In the end, I was
near tears and demanded to
see the manager.
Unlike the
security guards, the manager was a kind and
benevolent-looking man. He told me not to
make the mistake
again and let me
go. What an embarrassing incident !
