Brenda was too impatient. Her dress was starting to fray as she tried to pull away non–stop.
The other young women rushed toward them, intending to help but only making things worse.
“What the hell is with your dress?! It should be illegal!” Brenda snapped.
“Me? You’re the one who bumped into me!”
“Which wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for your stupid dress!”
“At least, my stupid dress isn’t a knockoff! You’re the one who’s been embarrassing yourself since you put yours on!”
The two were getting closer to starting a brawl, so I stepped in. “Enough, let me handle this.”
Man, I would have paid to watch a catfight if this were not happening at Lisbeth’s birthday party.
The other young women stepped away so I could examine it more closely.
And the funniest part? It was the simplest tangled string imaginable. All they had to do was move closer and pull the strands off the flowers quickly.
Oh my God. These women wasted so much brainpower trying to be the prettiest or the most attention–grabbing that they had no common sense whatsoever.
“Alright. You’re free now. But your dress is… Well, it’s fraying at the seams. It’s a bit misshapen,” I remarked out of kindness.
“I hate this! I hate this so much! I don’t want to wear this shit anymore!” Brenda snarled, her eyes red and ready to cry.
“So… are you going to take it off and walk outta here nude? Soleil quipped, clucking her tongue.
She looked at me. “But… You can save this dress, can’t you?
I understood what she was doing. She was trying to help me out with my reputation again.
“Well, it’s a very small issue to fix,” I admitted, smiling. “But is the owner willing?”
Brenda stared at me. “You can fix it?”
I nodded.
“Then do it already! I don’t wanna leave this party so soon! she ordered.
I stared at her in disbelief.
“For God’s sake, did you ever learn some basic manners at home? What about magic words like ‘please‘ and ‘ thank you‘ and ‘sorry for being such a jerk to you just now Soleil spoke my mind.
Brenda froze and bit her lips in reluctance.
“Just apologize, girl. You can’t look like this for the rest of the evening! But do you wanna go home so soon? We have finally got to visit the Kenway residence, Brenda!” her friend added.
Brenda gritted her teeth and relented in the end. “I’m sorry okay? I shouldn’t have said these things to you just now. B–But it was just… What Edith told me!

“She said her brother still loves you and wants you back, but you’ve got all chummy with the Kenways and now look down on him! I just feel bad for Edward, okay?”
I snorted. “Everyone knows who’s the one at fault between us if they have paid some attention. Besides, this is our private matter. You shouldn’t have been involved.”
“Fine, fine. I told you I’m sorry, right?”
I decided to let it go. “Lead us to the lounge, please. I’ll also be needing some tools.”
“Alright! Allow me!” Soleil chirped and grabbed my hand.

I looked up and realized Soren had been standing among the crowd, watching me.
“Hey, Ren! I’m gonna take her somewhere else for a while! Soleil greeted.
My eyes met his. I felt my heart quiver and smiled.
