Luisa hardly spoke a word in the group, but what could she say when they were talking in an alien language she did not understand, about mergers, acquisitions, and stocks, among other things?
What did she know about that? She was out of her league to be standing amidst these people. Suddenly, she could not help but feel so out of place.
When they started talking about acquiring a new boat, a house, and a company by the millions, she could only cower in silence on the side, thinking she could hardly pay her rent which was not that much.
Then a familiar voice suddenly called her name. "Luisa, it is you." She was surprised to see her friend when she turned to face him. And she was partially relieved.
She was not expecting to know someone from this group of people. She hardly knew anyone who could afford a fancy Sunday dress, let alone wear such expensive clothes in this part of the world.
