Vocabulary 61 - C1

Herbert sauntered into the kitchen, a glint in his eye. Margot was meticulously organizing spice jars.

"Margot, dear," he began, his voice dripping with faux innocence, "there's an allegation circulating at Oakhaven Industries..."

Margot sighed, not looking up. "Oh, Herbert, what is it this time? Did you 'accidentally' swap out the safety cones for inflatable flamingos again?"

"No, no, nothing like that! This is serious. Someone's accusing me of… well, eating all the company donuts before the safety inspection!"

Margot finally turned around, arms crossed. "And did you?"

Herbert sputtered, "Of course not! But they say I have to comply with an investigation. It's preposterous!"

"Preposterous? Herbert, you can smell a jelly-filled from twenty paces."

Brian walked in, skateboard in hand. "What's preposterous? Are we finally getting a trampoline?"

Herbert waved him away. "Worse, Brian, much worse. They're trying to confine me to my desk until this donut 'incident' is resolved."

Brian snorted. "Sounds like a sweet deal to me. No heavy lifting!"

Margot shot Brian a look. "Herbert, just tell them the truth." She paused. "And maybe lay off the sugar for a while. You know, for your health... and the sake of avoiding future baseless accusations of rape of the donut supply."

Herbert's eyes widened. "Rape? Margot! Where did that come from? It was just a… a minor sugar rush!"

Margot rolled her eyes. "Hyperbole, Herbert. Namely, emphasizing the gravity of your snacking habits. Now, what exactly do you have to do to prove your innocence?"

Herbert slumped. "They want me to take a lie detector test… and identify donuts blindfolded."

Brian grinned. "Dude, you've got this! That's like your superpower!"
