Miranda sipped her drink, her heavily made-up face a kaleidoscope of colors under the party lights. "Oh, | totally ot to mention,
my boyfriend manages The Night. So tonight, everyone can let loose, drink up, and on top of that, | got us a 40% discount!"
Crystal rolled her eyes and whispered to Sophia, "Now it makes sense why she was so eager to join us. Just showing off, as usual. A
nightclub manager, what's there to boast about?"
"It's all about the money, honey," Eileen shrugged, her voice a low murmur. Having lived in B City all her life, she was quite familiar
with her classmates’ affairs. "Since graduating, Miranda hasn't worked a day, just living off her boyfriends. The current one
apparently gives her a lavish allowance of around $7,000 a month. She's always bragging about it in our group chat, but you guys

Sophia sighed, increasingly exasperated. In this day and age, was being financially dependent on a man really something to boast
about?
"Sophia!"
Another girl, Hilary, suddenly chimed in. "What are you up to these days?"
"I'm a designer," Sophia replied.
"Not bad. Got a boyfriend yet?"
Sophia paused. "Nope."
"You're not still waiting for Robin, are you? Heard he's made it big, even took hispany public!" Hilary's laughter carried a hint
of mockery, suggesting Sophia was aiming too high.
Sophia responded coolly, "Seems like you've been keeping tabs on him, too."
Hilary's smile stiffened momentarily. "Well, he was a classmate. Naturally, I'd be curious. Oh, and Zoey's single too. You know,
keeping it all in the circle. Maybe you should consider him!"
Zoey, who had been quietly observing, smirked, his cigarette dangling. "Hilary, what are you on about?"
Miranda jumped in, "What, you think Sophia's not good enough for you? Sure, you're good-looking ande from money, but
Sophia's no slouch either. She's got looks, at least."
It was a backhandedpliment aimed at putting Sophia down.
Sophia had always been private about her family background at school, dressing modestly, leading many to assher parents
were just average folks.
Zoey laughed, "I meant that Sophia's heart is set on Robin. Why would she settle for me?"
