Thanks to Wendy, Melody did not have many friends during her student days. After she graduated, only a few of them kept in touch with her. The closest friend she had was a girl named Mabel Lowe who used to work on group projects with her in college. Both of them kept in touch with each other occasionally.
Melody tapped on Mabel's nin the chatbox. After a short hesitation, she sent a message to her.
[Are you there?] [What's up, old friend?] Mabel replied shortly.
[Are you free to meet up?] [Sure! I've got plenty of free time!] They chatted for a while and decided to meet for lunch.

What are they doing in my closet?" "Old Missus Rivera got them for you, Ma'am," answered the maid respectfully. 1 'They're from Grandma?' thought Melody with surprise.

This dress costs a few thousand dollars?' She knew Beatrice would not prepare something of poor quality, but she did not expect it to be something that expensive! "Umm... It's not like that. This is actually a knockoff. You know me, I'm too broke to buy any designer clothes."
"I see, but the quality of this knockoff is absolutely amazing!" Mabel was amazed by the quality of her dress. She then looked at Melody with concern and asked, "Is your family still treating you badly, Melody?" X
