The limo stopped driving and i assumed we had reached our destination wherever that was. We came out of the car and saw as Mrs Gretzmann talking to the Limo driver about something i didn't pay attention as to what they were discussing. I looked around and noticed that we were actually at a shopping district they were quite a lot of people around, Lorraine led the way and i followed her we soon stopped at a shop named Channel as i looked at one of the dresses in the show glass i was really impressed they were so pretty but then i saw the price tag and almost forgot to breath. One piece of clothing costs 2000$ what the hell, is this were I’m supposed to shop. Lorraine must have noticed my expression and said " I'm surprised that your so shocked don't you normally shop at places like this, i guess no one told her that i was a bumpkin from new york. "actually no i don't my most expensive clothing was a 100 dollar, i said " At least you can afford 100 dollar where i come from we struggle just to have enough to eat, she said now sounding sad. Oh i never thought of that now i felt guilty about saying such things Lorraine must have noticed my expression because the next thing she had said wasn't funny well at least to me. " Relax that was just a made up story i didn't think it would affect you so much you know you being rich and all i thought you wouldn't budge", she said, oh well that was helpful " You know i didn't really find it funny because there are people who barely even have anything to eat and to make fun of something like that is kind of upsetting at least to me", i said quite angry at her, she looked at me with her eyes surprised at the answer i had just given her. " I'm so sorry Ms Mcdermid i never meant to anger you i just thought you were like the others", she said sounding very apologetic.

Oh i could never get mad at this girl and she should really drop this Ms Mcdermid it's quite annoying, " You know its fine i get it you must have met quiet some people to actually think that of me i can understand it's not like I’m going to hit you or anything your free to speak your mind with me it's a free world after all", i said to her trying to make her feel comfortable around me. She looked at me surprised again with those big eyes like she couldn't believe what i just blurted out of my mouth. " Is something wrong did i say something weird", i asked not sure if what i said was wrong " No not at all I’m just kind of bewildered your the first Master I’ve ever served to say such a thing especially to a lowly servant like me. " Again with that master thing is that really important i mean just leave that " Master" out and we're good,' I told her, she then smiled at me "oh and I’m sorry about that false story i told you it was just an act of test i tell every new Master i serve to judge them I’m not really poor i actually lead an average life like most people,' she said, oh wow that’s another twist she was actually testing me if i was suitable or not. " So did i pass then,' i said smiling back at her " Yes indeed your the first,' she said. " Ouch how many masters have you served for me to be the first one,' i said sounding surprised “Well approximately around 6 or 7 number 4 was by far the worst had to clean up after his mess he left at night and always bringing back home a different woman,'

“Wow that is nasty,' I said sounding disgusted by what she had said. We both laughed at the thought and shook our heads together. Mrs Gretzmann had just finished talking to the driver and made her way to us. “Is something the matter why do you have that grimace on your face,' she said wondering, Lorraine and I both looked at each other and then laughed again this time really hard. “I can see your both getting along fine there should be no problem then Mrs Gretzmann,' said looking at both of us. Yes definitely I thought to myself.

We made our way into the shop and were happily welcomed a woman around her thirties stepped out from behind us greeting Mrs Gretzmann and then looking at me with a side eye. I looked her up from head to toe she was definitely very fashionable like one of those models you see at a runway and she was very pretty too. “You must be the Lydia I've heard so much about the one to inherit the Holdsworth wealth I suppose I'm looking forward to having business with in the future,' she said to me while smiling, her smile seemed kind of fake though. Shes someone I'd have to lookout for too sometime in the future that is if I do inherit this wealth everyone’s talking about. “And who am I to make such acquaintance to,' I said giving it back to her of course with my British accent. The woman looked at me with surprise even Mrs Gretzmann was surprised at my accent. “Oh how lovely she has an accent, well my name is Victoria I manage all the channel shop in this area and I'm a distant cousin of the companies owner we've been partners with the Holdsworth family for some years now,' she said,' watching me carefully “By the looks of your outfit your not well known to the fashion world are you,' she smirked at me, really whats with rich people and smirking. What I'm wearing is perfectly fine a normal tank-top shirt and a black jean with my favorite red converse snickers is it so bad. I don't need anyone bringing me down right now and judging my style which is suppose to reflect the kind of person I am. “I think what I have on is perfectly alright and I see no fault in it,' I said very proud of my self, she and Mrs Gretzmann exchanged looks and laughed at my statement. “Well I’ll leave you to deal with this then I have many appointments to attend to Mrs Gretzmann said to Victoria “Be careful shes a feisty one,' shes said leaving now. Really now the second person whose already said this I know I’m stubborn but do they have to put it that way.

 “So where do I begin with you honey,' she said “First will have to see what seize you are,' said very focused on me, oh great just what I needed this isn’t going to be much fun. “By her looks she must be a seize 6 or smaller,' Lorraine said I didn’t even take notice of her I assumed she went with Mrs Gretzmann. “Your right you have a good eye there ,' Victoria said smiling at Lorraine and Lorraine smiled back. Really this too are getting along really well its not like I'm jealous or anything oh God please save me from this misery that I’m about to go through. Well so I wished hours went by with the whole lecture of clothes and fashion and how your supposed to wear clothes that give you confidence and hide your emotions and Blah Blah Blah I didn’t really listen to most of what she said and Lorraine kept on taking notes of whatever she was taking notes of then. Then they made me try out some dressing disagreeing and agreeing until finally agreeing on a red velvet gown which reaches down to the floor with frills around it. “I looked like one of those prince they pulled out of the gutter,' I said not liking the dress at all its not my style. “Darling its not always about what you want a person does not make the dress the dress makes the person and I don't mean literally,' Victoria said “Your not suppose to show weakness to your enemy see this dress as your armor into a war zone trust me the more you enter our world the more you'll understand what I’m saying,' Victoria said now standing up and placing her hands on my shoulder she really does seem nice. I think I judge people to much not all rich people are like Gina and her barbies some are pretty decent I smiled back at her accepting the fact that I’ll have to wear the dress and many more to come. As if trying on the clothes wasn't torture enough she also called makeup artist in and hairstylist I really don't like people touching me but ill have to go through with it. Hours went by and they were finally finished I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn’t believe my reflection. “Your very beautiful Lydia with this face your guaranteed to score some points on those business people attending the party,' Victoria said smiling. Lorraine came after and she to was stunned at my drastic change “Wow the guys at the the party are gonna be drooling after you especially Jack,' she gave me a wink, I looked away shyly the car arrived and it was time to go I Only saw the driver I guess Mrs Gretzmann didn’t have enough time to come pick me up . Lorraine and I took my remaining belongings and made our way to the car with Victoria she gave me a hug and wished me all the best at the party and told me to be wary of horny guys like really why would she say that. I blushed and waved a goodby to her out of the car window. Well that was fun I met someone new now it's time for my trial now I’m getting really nervous about this party. Lorraine took notice of my nervousness and decided to cheer me up we laughed on our way back and made silly comments on most of the dresses I tried on.
