I nodded. “There are incorrect charges on this bill, and I want to file a complaint for assault.”
Javier stood abruptly, furious—but security stepped closer, setting a silent boundary.
While the bill was corrected, I messaged my lawyer.
“I’ve been assaulted. There are cameras. I need advice.”
Her reply came instantly:
“Stay calm. Preserve the footage. Don’t sign anything. Call the police if needed.”
That message grounded me.
When the corrected bill returned, I looked at Javier again.
“Did you really think I’d pay after what you just did?”
