There were noises of surprise all around.
-Wow, isn't this dress from GIBIERRE?
-Is it a fake?
-I'm going to go, take a fake and ask people to pay for it, that's so unkind!
...
At that moment, the boss, who had been watching from the surveillance room for a long time, still appeared. He went straight to Katarina's address and called out to her respectfully.
-Miss Carballo!
Then she straightened up and looked at the crowd, looking at the director in particular, useless thing!
And then she respectfully introduced herself to the group with.
-This is the first lady of the Carballo Group, Katarina Carballo! How can the dress she's wearing be fake!
The crowd erupted in a chorus of shouts.
-Oh, so it's Miss Carballo!
-The Carballo Group is from a wealthy family in Teladia, she owns the famous Salas Caribe restaurant!
-Yes, her family is very rich, any dress must be very expensive!
Katarina took a long look at her boss, who was not leaving early.
The owner smiled flatteringly as she rubbed her bare head.
-I couldn't offend this Miss Carballo, but I suppose I couldn't offend the Chanel girl either.
The boss, who has spent a lot of time in high-end places, knows a lot about brand-name clothes and is a good people-watcher. When he looked at Micaela in Chanel, he thought she was not inferior to Katarina at all.
He was worried that Micaela was also a young woman from some wealthy family.
If he hadn't seen that the manager really didn't have the means to cope with this, he himself would never have appeared in such a difficult situation.
The short-haired woman looked at Micaela smugly.
-Who are you, do you really know these brands, how dare you question Katarina's clothes?
Micaela spoke truthfully.
-I really don't know anything about these big brand clothes!
There was a snort.
-After all this talk, this girl is talking nonsense, huh?
-I thought this beauty really knew what she was doing!
-It's not coffee I've come to drink today, it's wine, I'm going to get drunk!
...
Ana tugged on Micaela's hand. "Oh, friend, what nonsense you're talking if you don't understand..."
Micaela gave her a reassuring look and looked at Katarina.
-"I don't know anything about fancy clothes, but I know about pearls! The pearls on your dress are all artificially grown and worthless.
The whole room was silent.
For a long time, before someone murmured.
-That dress is pretty, but those pearls are really....
-Yes, yes, pearls don't seem to shine very much!
-It's not possible to use such cheap pearls for such an expensive dress!
...
When Anne heard Micaela say this, she hurried to take a close look at the pearls on Katarina's body.
It was true, as everyone had said, that the pearls were not very well colored and you could probably tell their value without having to feel them in your hand.
Ana felt ashamed of herself.
"Why is Micaela so good on her own when she and I both work in jewelry design and appraisal? I can't believe I didn't notice these details."
Katarina felt a little humiliated, and naturally she had already seen that the pearls weren't very pretty....
But the dress was given to her by her fiancé when he proposed, so she didn't pay particular attention to the authenticity of the dress, not realizing that....
-Don't be ridiculous, just because you say the beads are artificially grown they really are? Who are you, is what you say so authoritative?
-Do you need me to teach you on the spot the difference between natural and cultured beads? -asked Micaela.
