| could tell they were reapplying their makeup because their lipstick and foundation pad were both open.
My gaze shifted to a white, limited edition handbag. Or was it?
“That bag’s a fake, isn't it?” | asked, raising my chin at it.
The young woman's face changed from panic to a scowl. “Don’t you dare insinuate that! I'd never use anything
but an authentic item! Maybe you should stop projecting what you don’t have onto someone who does!”
I snickered.
“I recognize that bag. It's supposed to be the one created by Berardi from Etalier, right? The handmade one,
produced in only two versions-black and white.” | paused. “The thing is, | personally know the owners of both
bags.”
The other women paled.
“Yulia, didn’t you get that bag after begging someone from the luxury fashion industry for help?” one of them

“Girl, you showed it off on Instagram! People were so jealous of you!” another added.
If word got out that her bag was a fake, her circle wouldn't let her live it down.
“What the fuck, Taylor Jones? | didn’t say any of that-people on the Intedid! Why do you have to do this to
me? How vindictive are you?!” she yelled.
| smiled calmly. “I was just telling the truth. Shouldn't you thankfor warning you before you embarrass
yourself further?”
She exhaled angrily. “Why you-*
My phone rang again. This time, it was from Soren. He was probably getting worried after I'd been in the
bathroom too long.
| answered immediately and stepped out.
Back at the restaurant, Soleil approached me. “Ren almost clooking for you in the bathroom after you'd
been gone so long!”
| gave Soren a reassuring look as he continued talking to his friends, signaling that everything was fine.
| couldn't resist telling Soleil what had happened. When | finished, her expression darkened.
“Oh, | know who she is-and no, she’s not one of my friends. That's Kevin Locke's partner, Yulia. She's an
influencer trying to land an acting role or something.” Soleil scowled. “She's so irrelevant, we should just ignore
her.”
Well, okay then.
Not long after, we heard a growing commotion from the restaurant.
Someone was crying in the distance. | looked up and saw it.
Yulia was sobbing, wanting to leave, while a young man tried to comfort her.

| knew I'd stirred up strouble. “I've gotta do something, Sol.”

“I'm coming with you!”
Even from a distance, we could hear Yulia’s accusation. “Miss Jones thinks she can bully people just because
she’s earned your heart, Mr. Kenway.
“How is that fair? We're here for a joyous occasion! Why does she have to make things difficult for others?”
Soren’s back was to me, so he didn’t realize | was approaching. He immediately began defending me. “I'm sure
there's been a misunderstanding. Taylor never provokes anyone. She only ever fights back, but she never
attacks.”
“But she did! All | did was mention her becoming viral on the Internet-which is the truth-and she got mad and
humiliated me!” Yulia snapped.
“Hey, Ren!” Soleil called out suddenly.
Soren turned and saw me.
Kevin noticedtoo. “Miss Jones, | think you owe us an explanation. It’s only fair.”
“Mr. Locke, we don’t even know who's right or wrong yet. You shouldn't be accusing-
| gently squeezed Soren’s arm, signaling him to stop.
