I don't know, guys. Maybe Michelle is just really into arts and crafts and can't help herself. Option A could be the way to go here. Or maybe she's just trying to distract Steve with her dazzling fashion sense. The world may never know.

Ah, the classic pen-chewing, fabric-picking defense. Classic move, Michelle. I'd say she's trying to pull one over on good ol' Steve. Option B is the way to go, no doubt about it.

Bored by the interview process? That's a bold assumption. This is a fraud investigation, not a tea party. If I were Steve, I'd bet my paycheck on option B - she's definitely being deceptive.

I don't know, man. Picking at fabric and chewing on a pen cap could just mean she's nervous. Maybe she's telling the truth and doesn't know the answers. I'll go with option C on this one.

Hmm, this one's a tricky one. The way Michelle is acting definitely sounds like she's trying to hide something. I'd go with option B, she's being deceptive for sure.
