Rowena and Teresa could not contain their laughter after Winter's outrageous claim. Winter got mad when she saw Noelle's friends cracking up together. "Noelle, are your friends always this rude?" Noelle blinked innocently. "Are they not allowed to laugh/ Would you rather they cried, sis?" "You..."

"I think you should go back to shopping with your mother-in-law. Saint Di is a top-notch brand here in Zyphonia, and the clothes are quality stuff. They'd really suit you. Oh, and why don't you try on the outfits the ladies picked out earlier? I'm feeling generous today because Collosus Group gave me a hefty bonus for the new year, so it's on me!"
