The entire place became noisy as the people kept whispering to themselves.
However, Erica wore an indifferent expression as if she had nothing that deserves praise; her shoulder pads were high and she stood with her head held high.
While they were still contemplating who she was, they heard a skeptical voice of a young woman shouted from behind.
“Mrs. Downey, Y-Your necklace has been found lying on the floor”.
The voice sounded like it was scared of getting berated for saying the wrong thing. However, when the people heard her voice, another round of murmuring was ensured, and the entire hall was thrown into a tantrum.
After a while, when the noise finally died down, Erica smirked. Then, She raised her brows and said, “Mrs. Downey if there's nothing else to say, I would like to go back to the event. After all, this is not the reason why we are here”.
Marianne, who had a stunned expression on her face quickly regained her composure, but her face was still flushed with embarrassment as she felt that she has done something wrong–judging a book by its cover.
“Also, I don't think I should ask you all, you should know what is expected of you after this”.
Erica's tone was firm as she made to leave the place. After taking a few steps, she halted in her tracks and stopped right in front of Danica, who was fuming inwardly. She glared at her with a disdainful expression, but she only pouted her face and didn't say anything to her.
Seeing the figure of the woman in front of her, Danica felt her breath drying up as she didn't know what the woman was about to say to her, she only heaved a sigh of relief after the woman smiled at her and said a few words.
“Miss Medina, I heard you need a new dress for your next modeling show. Also, without the most outstanding fit, you might not win it. Here is my card, give me a call when you are chanced”.
She said extending a business and tossing it into the woman's hand before catwalking away with her shoulders held high.
