"Margaret?"
Margaret turned around subconsciously when she heard someone call her name.
"It's really you." A curly-haired woman in a tea dress walked towards her while holding the hem of her skirt.
Margaret's face looked doubtful. Who was this person?
She had no clue at all.
"Margaret, you don't remember me, do you? I'm Emilia, your high school classmate." The girl who claimed to be Emilia looked at her with irony in her beautiful eyes. "I didn't expect you to be a waitress here."
Margaret vaguely remembered her.
If not mistaken, she used to be an attractive girl in high school, though she was not as pretty as Margaret.
Margaret had always been the most eye-catching one in the room ever since she was a child. She was the well-deserved campus sweetheart.
"Is something the matter?" Margaret's voice was cold. She did not want to waste too much time here.
"We haven't seen each other in years but you are still as arrogant as ever." Emilia said jealously. "Back then, you did have the right to be arrogant since you were the eldest daughter of the Simons family. But you have been kicked out from the Simons family and you are working as a waitress here. I heard that when working in this profession, the men can't keep their hands to themselves - is that true?"
"If you're interested, you can find out for yourself." Margaret did not have the time to spend squabbling with her. She turned around and walked away.
Back when they were still in high school, the boys that Emilia liked all adored Margaret. So, her resentment and jealousy for Margaret had been steadily growing ever since.
Now that she had the chance to berate her, Emilia would not let her go so easily.
"Stop right there!" Emilia shouted at her sharply. "You're just a waitress while I'm the guest of this cruise party. Are you going to serve me with this attitude?"
"What do you want?" Margaret lowered her voice.
