Cathy froze. She initially had no intention to interact with Nina at this party. She also had no intention to tell these sharp and fashionable girls that she had a relative from Maine.
"Who is she, Cathy?" Sure enough, the girls were all sizing up Nina's plain outfit, which was a stark contrast to their low-cut, ultra-short, fashionable nightclub outfits.
"I remember. They were brought here by Eddie," a girl remarked.
"Eddie? Marion's little sidekick?"
Another girl asked, gloating, "Are you close to them, Cathy?"
Cathy didn't look happy.
The girls around her were all egoistic and arrogant. They would kick a girl out of their little group just because she was dating a country bumpkin.
Cathy did not want to explain her relationship with Nina to them because they would definitely mock and ostracize her behind her back.
This was a great form of entertainment for them.
