The golden chandeliers of the Grand Empire Ballroom shimmered against the polished marble floor. Music played softly in the background as waiters moved through the crowd with silver trays of champagne.
Valeria: Get out! This place isn't for people like you.
Valeria stood in the center of the room in a sparkling silver sequin gown. Her diamond necklace caught the light as she glared down at a young waitress who had accidentally stepped too close to her path.
Waitress: I'm so sorry, ma'am. I was just trying to clear the table.
Valeria: You don't belong here. Look at your dirty shoes. You are ruining the atmosphere for real guests.
An older man in a tailored tuxedo walked up beside Valeria, resting his arm gently on her elbow. He looked at the nervous girl with a sneer.
Arthur: Is this servant bothering you, my dear?
Valeria: She was practically standing on my dress, Arthur. These lower-class workers have no manners.
Valeria leaned closer to the waitress and lowered her voice to a cruel whisper.
Valeria: You stink. Get out of my sight before I have security throw you onto the street.
The young girl kept her head down, her hands trembling as she held the silver serving tray against her chest.
Waitress: Please, ma'am. I need this job to pay my mother's hospital bills.
Valeria: That isn't my problem. Go scrub a floor somewhere else.
A group of wealthy guests gathered nearby, watching the argument unfold. Several people gasped at Valeria's harsh words. A man in the back pulled out his smartphone and started recording the entire scene.
Valeria raised her hand, signaling for the head of security to march over to the table.
Valeria: Security! Remove this peasant immediately!
Before the security guard could touch the waitress's arm, a tall man holding a crystal champagne glass stepped out from behind the heavy velvet curtains. He wore a simple black tuxedo and carried himself with absolute calm.
Julian: Valeria, you're standing in my house. Get out.
Valeria's eyes widened in total shock as she recognized the face of the billionaire founder who owned the entire estate.
