“Well, I wasn’t joking. Jeremiah did invite me. I just give him a call and you’ll know.” Casey explained patiently, didn’t snap at the server’s attitude.
But the server obviously didn’t take those word’s for real and thought, “Jeremiah is the biggest entrepreneur of S City, the sponsor of this charity dinner. A big shot like him definitely wouldn’t invite someone to the dinner party by word of mouth. An invitation, at least, would be sent to the guest.”
“On top of that, Casey and Georgia looks too ordinary for everyone attending the dinner are in full blow. And this two are really not at the same level of such kind of dinner.”
“Georgia, how you bitch show up here! And your lover, for tonight’s dinner, too? What are you doing here, trying to earn some dirty money from the men?”
Nancy walked up to Casey and Georgia, saying in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
In huge embarrassment, Georgia turned to Nancy, the last person she thought she would ran into, especially at the situation when they were stopped by a server.
“Miss Murray, the two insist that they were at the invitation of Mr. Jeremiah while they didn’t have any invitation letter. Are you an acquaintance of them? I’ll let them in if they were truly invited by Mr. Jeremiah.” the server knew about Nancy and asked for confirmation.
After what the server had said, Nancy burst into loud laughter as if she had heard some really good jokes, which garbing the attention of the crowd nearby.
“Hey, everybody come and see this! These two dare to say they were at the invitation of Mr. Jeremiah but with no invitation letter at all. Very funny! These days really watch all kinds of frauds and the two at the dinner still might be the first of a new kind.” Nancy shouted.
Instantly, more attention gathered. After a brief glimpse at Casey and Georgia, the crowd came to the conclusion that the two sure didn’t look like someone dressing up for the party.
“This man drove a nearly junked Santana. And check out his clothing, how such a person has the qualification for Mr. Jeremiah’s party.”
“That girl, my roommate. Words spread wildly on campus that she is a whore, only knowing things about seduction. Do you believe Mr. Jeremiah would invite this kind of people to the dinner?”
Nancy was introducing Casey and Georgia to the crowd with disdain in fer face, trying to embarrass the two to leave.
With Nancy’s introduction, the people around began talking and looking at Casey and Georgia in a very strange way.
“Well, well. So ridiculous that someone even had the nerve to sneak into the dinner. Do they even know a invitation is required for such party?”
“Not anybody could get into this charity dinner, let alone someone driving a scrappy Santana. Deceiving themselves to get the way in the upper class. Seriously?”
“Just get them out. These kind of person at dinner only lowers our level. Security! I don’t want to be around by these person even for one more second.”
……
Nancy, on the other side, satisfied at the irony response from the crowd towards Casey and Georgia.
Georgia felt so awkward, having no idea how to cope with the situation, and the only thing she could do was looking towards Casey for help.
She was there when Jeremiah invited Casey to the party, so she knew Casey was telling the truth. But being talking about by so many people made her somewhat fluster.
Casey, too, felt a little angry. This Nancy coming out nowhere but disturbing crowd’s mind like that made him uncomfortable.
Anyway, he brushed Nancy off and just made a call to Jeremiah.
As long as Jeremiah got here, all Nancy had say together with her arrogance would be scotched.
Nancy was going to make more fun of Casey and Georgia while some other young people waving at her in the hotel and signaling her to come over.
Nancy waved back at her friends, then turned around and said to the server, “Just shoo them away before Mr. Jeremiah gets here, or I’m not sure what would happen to you.”
Done talking, she hurried into the building.
