The director announced, "Due to a last-minute cancellation by our final guest, Gloria will have to participate solo."
This statement was met with ridicule.
"She deserves to be alone."
The comment came from a famously outspoken female singer, Emma.
Others looked at me with mocking smiles.
I responded with a slight smile.
"Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your sincere wish!"
Being unwanted by men is actually the sincerest blessing for an independent woman of the 21st century.
I hope I never encounter another scumbag in my life!
Emma glared at me.
The director opportunistically spoke up, "I hear each male guest has prepared a special gift for the lady who captivates his heart!"
Several men took out their gifts.
The female guests showed expressions of surprise.
"Wow, Alan has actually prepared a huge diamond ring!"
Excited murmurs spread through the crowd.
Everyone looked enviously at Judy.
The woman basked in her moment.
She touched her hair and said nonchalantly.
"Alan loves giving jewels and gems, but I'm not one to care for such material things, because I know he loves me."
Judy said, blushing as she extended her hand for him to put the ring on.
Alan looked arrogant and complacent.
