Show Some Respect

Cassie glanced at Aryana.  "I hope you understand that this is my company's opening ceremony and not a venue for you to showcase your dresses. Show some respect!"  Cassie gave her a hostile look.

"Cassie I think you misunderstood.  I am not doing anything.  I was standing here and those five ladies approached me and asked for a groupie.  I couldn't reject them right?"  She looked at Cassie who was wearing a sour expression on her face.

"I don't have control over what they will say.  I think it is not wrong for me to wear a dress whose brand they like."  Aryana added, her tone gentle.

"You did it on purpose.  You were not invited and yet you came using your connection with Erik.  You are flaunting your dress to attract others' attention."  Marianne's voice was filled with sarcasm.

Aryana lowered her gaze.  She didn't expect that Marianne has brains and was spot on the guess of her intention tonight.
