"Wow! This is beautiful!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Man! I've seen something so magnificent!"
As the guests exclaimed in excitement, a voice suddenly interrupted. "Jane!" Soon, everyone was drawn to the source of the voice shortly before they saw a lady in a white dress with a box of chocolate in her hand. A few moments later, it turned out to be Jane's best friend, Priscilla Harper.
"Here you are, Priscilla!" Jane gave her friend a big hug. "Come here and check this dress out! It's a gift from our favorite Astorian designer. What do you think? Beautiful, right?"
At that moment, everyone else seemed to reveal a strange look on their face when they noticed that Priscilla's white dress looked almost the same as the one Selena gave Jane. Not long after that, Priscilla set her eyes on Jane's dress in bafflement. "Jane, why does it seem..."
"What's wrong with my dress, Priscilla?" Jane held her new dress up high and asked.
At the same time, the silence was broken by murmurs of discussion around the space. "Why do both dresses look the same? What's going on?"
"That's right! What on earth just happened? Did Selena just duplicate another dress?" Whispering to each other, they set their eyes on Selena with a strange gaze.
"Mrs. Fowler, why would this dress..." Jane suddenly caught on to something and happily looked at Priscilla. "Hey, you should have told me earlier that you knew Mrs. Fowler all along, Priscilla!"
Nonetheless, Priscilla only shook her head and replied, "No, I don't know her! You should know that I don't have any friends from Astoria! The only person whom I know is from Astoria is your aunt, Madeline Perry."
"In that case, why does your dress...?" Look the same as mine? Why on earth is this even happening?
"For the sake of your birthday party, I specially went to a premier tailor store and engaged the best designer there to help me make this dress! So I'm pretty sure that it can't be found elsewhere!" Priscilla glared at Selena in a hostile manner.
Soon, everyone turned their attention to Selena once again, waiting to hear her explanation.
Meanwhile, Jane smiled bitterly and asked, "What's going on, Mrs. Fowler? Why does the dress you gave me look exactly the same as Priscilla's? Do you also work in the same tailor store that she went to?"
Upon hearing Jane's question,
everyone thought that wasn't likely
true because Selena was the founder and president of Forever Gown that had received a number of awards. Thus, they didn't think she would have to work as a designer for some tailor store.
However, Selena only shrugged her shoulders and gave a terse reply. "It beats me."
Priscilla bellowed, "What do you mean by that?! How could you not know that?! It's obvious enough that you're a copycat! The rumors said you plagiarized other people's work, but was your fan, so I didn't believe those stories until I finally saw it for myself today!"
Jane quickly seized Priscilla's hand in a panicky manner and said, "Stop it, Priscilla! I believe Mrs. Fowler won't do anything like this!"
Although Selena was amused by the show that the ladies were putting on, she couldn't help but feel disappointed by their lousy acting. Oh come on! Is this a comedy? These two ladies seriously need to work on their acting!
"Mrs. Fowler, I suppose it's necessary for you to explain what's going on with our dresses."
Priscilla then added, "Is there a need
to hear from her? I knew about your birthday party a month ago as I proceeded to appoint the designer to make my dress, but due to its stunning appearance, it was displayed in the exhibition halt at that time. Thus, I bet this copycat must have run out of ideas and taken the opportunity to plagiarize the dress designs before she gave it to you as a gift."
