Smoothing out my dress one last time, I approached the entrance of the opulent estate and prepared my invitation, ignoring the muttering of the nearby crowd alongside the glances from the people in line, all of them looking at me and the various other women walking inside.
Some part of me was worried that there was another facet to this merchant that I wasn't informed of, something that might have to deal with using gigantic heaps of money to pressure women into doing disgusting things just for the sake of getting his rocks off.
But most of me was just annoyed at the attention right now as I waited in that line, though that wasn't much worse than normal as I just dealt with the gazes by simply ignoring them, and I was grateful that the line was moving quickly as people were ushered into the estate and welcomed into the party.
