Chapter 1 - The Public Humiliation
The grand ballroom of the luxury hotel sparkled under the warm radiance of giant crystal chandeliers. Dozens of high-society guests dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns stood around the marble foyer, holding crystal glasses.
Without warning, Beatrice Vain—an arrogant socialite in a shimmering gold gown—swung her hand back and violently splashed a full glass of champagne across the room.
The golden liquid hit Sophie Clark directly across her face and dark uniform shirt. Sophie, a late-twenties maid with her dark hair tied back loosely, instinctively stepped in front of an elderly woman, taking the full brunt of the liquid.
The champagne drenched Sophie’s hair, dripping down her cheek and staining her white apron, but her posture remained unyielding.
"Look what you did to my dress, you clumsy trash!" Beatrice shrieked, her voice cutting through the silent ballroom as guests gasped in shock.
