From the moment she entered the hotel lobby, Clara had felt unpleasant stares. She didn't know how many times those eyes had looked at her with contempt. And she was sure that her meeting with Arthur earlier would only fuel the gossip at the Ruby Hotel.
"Shh, she's coming!" Kimmy nudged Ami's body, while Emily remained silent, stealing glances at Clara.
'Hn, two little pests who don't know they've walked into my trap,' Clara thought calmly and went back to work.
Not long after, Arthur arrived and entered his room. The manager and heir apparent of the Ruby Hotel tapped his fingers as he closed his eyes, thinking... considering Clara's words.
'I can't underestimate her. It turns out I've been wrong about her all this time. Clara Delevon... what kind of woman are you really?'
"Do you know where I can buy a dress to attend a party, Mr. Aaron?" Clara sent a short message.
(What kind of party, miss, if I may ask?)
