Stephanie and Gillian exchanged a look, then said resignedly, "Ms. Snider, do you seriously believe that?"
"I'm not one for telling fibs... I've told you, I'm not like the others. Oh, and I helped out Sebastian last time when he was in a jam with the Ingram family... You should give me a chance, for your fiancee's sake."
"You helped Sebastian? That time with the Ingram family?"
"Yes, at the Ingram family. Jaxon pressured Sebastian to make a choice. Only me, Angelina Peck, and Angela were invited to the Ingram family. Sebastian had to pick one, and he chose me, so I helped him out."
At this point, Stephanie felt as if she had swallowed a fly.
How did she help? Did it happen the way she thought it would? So that's why Silver Fox came back to find her so late that day.
"Sorry, Ms. Snider, I'm not interested! Gillian, let's bounce!"
Gillian, having heard their conversation, was completely baffled.
As Stephanie dragged her towards the banquet hall, she still wore a look of confusion.
Caroline Snider, seeing her brush-off, looked disappointed.
Oh well.
Making friends always comes down to fate.
She liked Ms. Bishop, but it seemed the feeling wasn't mutual.
"Steph, what's going on?" Gillian couldn't help but ask.
Stephanie took a deep breath and said, "Gillian, I'm fine."
"But you seem off..."
"Dope... cheer up! It's your birthday!"
"Yeah, I'll be happy! Come on, I'll show you my room! I redecorated it, and it's beautiful. You haven't seen it yet!"
Her room was princess-style, pink-themed, with all new furniture, satisfying all their girly dreams!
Gillian and Stephanie were both gobsmacked.
This girl clearly came from a wealthy family; their wealth was substantial. The renovation of this room alone must've cost a million.
"Gillian, I've had some food sent up for you guys; I know you're not used to the outside. There are a lot of annoying people out there; just wait for me here. After the banquet, you guys can stay over!"
"Alright, you go do your thing! You're the star today; you can't be sticking around with us all the time."
