Winters & Somers
“Cíara hovered on the edge of the crowd, wondering how to slip unnoticed in to the ‘Get to Know You’ social evening that the jewelry trade convention was hosting.
Grace had been right about one thing – her outfit was a problem, but not in the way the outspoken landlady had meant. The sexy little dress was missing one vital accessory – a wealth of genuine jewels that seemed obligatory. The women here were walking showcases for the jewelry trade and she felt positively naked by comparison.
But her... momentary pang of jealousy was followed by a big gust of relief not to be walking around with thousands of Euros around her neck, wrists, ears, and anywhere else expensive jewelry could be displayed.
She grinned as she imagined strolling along to her favorite pub in North Dublin, dressed like that – she wouldn’t get five yards before all that lovely shiny stuff was in someone else’s greedy paws!
Still, the difference in dress code was going to make it a little harder for her to blend in and sashay into the main room where the social event was taking place – especially as she had to cross the broad foyer under the watchful eyes of the desk staff and, she suspected, a crowd of gimlet-eyed security people.MoreLess
