Everyone then talked enviously about the material and the quality of the luggage tag. They were all fresh graduates who were trying to climb the social ladder. No one would have spent so much on a luggage tag unless they were born rich.
For the men, the luggage tag was nothing but a practical item. They couldn't have known what a pick-me girl meant. Only girls would know.
Jasmine's face turned ashen when she saw the pick-me luggage tag. Then, her face turned beet red when the guy mentioned "pick me." The feeling of not being able to vent her fury had to be awfully frustrating.
She lifted her head and glared at me. For a moment, I saw hatred and even murderous malice in her eyes. None of the people present knew about the conflict between Jasmine, Colin, and me. The luggage tag was just an ordinary item to them. Only Jasmine knew what I was trying to imply.
It must have been incredibly mortifying to be humiliated in public like this. But who could blame me? She had it coming for pulling those disgusting, underhanded tactics. I merely returned her the same favor.
"Thank you, Luna. I love your gift so much." Jasmine quickly composed herself. The plastic smile returned to her face. She then passed the gift to Gavin before sitting upright, trying to make herself look classy and elegant. "I'm so sorry that I forgot to send you an invitation, Luna.
"But the more the merrier! Come join us. The dinner will begin shortly. I've ordered fresh lobsters from abroad. You must try them."
