Esther was brimming with excitement as she practically dragged Pearl to a wedding gown store, their first destination. With their engagement approaching, trying on engagement gowns made serise, saving them valuable time.

Esther quickly spotted a gown she adored–a long, white dress with an elegant train. It garnered plenty of admiring remarks from her. “Wow, this gown is absolutely stunning. I love it, Pearl. Can you hold my bag? I’m going to try it on right now!”

Are you trying to make trouble for others just because things aren’t going well in your career and love life?”

Jenny’s expression changed as Pearl touched a sore spot. “What nonsense are you talking about? You didn’t buy this gown, and everyone has an equal right to it. Do you not understand that? Why accuse me of causing trouble?”
