A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"I'll let it go this time," said Tina, as she looked at Rose, with eyes full of contempt. She added,"Jasmyn, please don't bring every other Tom, Dick and Harry in front of me again. It's a degradation of my status."

Although, Rose was a good friend of hers, Jasmyn could not afford to offend Tina for Rose's sake. Immediately, she assured,"Okay, sure. It won't happen again."

"It's not that you are not allowed to bring people in, but you should bring in someone who is, at the very least, from a decent family, you know what I mean?"Tina smiled scornfully and looked away. She wouldn't even give Rose a second look.

"Okay, I get it, I get it."

What the two supercilious ladies failed to notice was that Rose lowered her head, her eyes overflowed with jealousy and her fists clenched tightly...

Just because they were born in notable families, and had respectable parents?

Why would she have to be looked down upon like that? She swore to herself that she would become one of them one day!

As Tina and Jasmyn were talking, a loud noise came from the first floor. All three of them were tempted to look down with curiosity.

Upon looking, Rose's heart filled with hatred.

Jack was fashioning a well-tailored black suit which highlighted his handsome feature remarkably, whereas Emily's snow-white skin was glowing in her luxurious white dress. Elegance and poise exuded from her presence, natural but not superficial. She was like a 'breath of fresh air' in the banquet.

The two entered the hall, hand in hand. Their appearance drew the attention of numerous people in the hall.

Jack gave conventional greetings all the way through, never once forgetting to introduce the lady beside him as "My girlfriend, Emily".

It seemed like he was very keen on announcing his sovereignty over her to people, so that everyone would know that Emily was his woman.

Rose stood above them, glaring at them from a safe distance. Her eyes were filled with intense hatred and envy.
