Silvia's POV
This has got to be the most humiliating moment of my life.
So embarrassing.
The phone barely rang once before it was picked up, Brian's deep, impatient voice coming through. "What is it?"
"Brian..." I let my voice break, slipping into the tone I'd practiced countless times—the one that always triggered his protective instincts. "I... I'm in trouble..."
"Get to the point, Silvia. I'm busy."
I took a deep breath, speaking in the most pitiful, helpless voice I could muster. "I... I'm on Rodeo Drive... I found this dress I liked, but... but Ashley and her friend showed up here too... They tried to provoke me, laughed at me... I lost my balance and the dress got ruined... Now the store's demanding compensation... A hundred grand..."
"What? A hundred grand?!"
