Lie About Escort? Slammed

Synopsis

Ryan Brooks brought his girlfriend, Vanessa Lynn, to our high school reunion for the first time. At the dinner table, everyone was being polite to me, when Vanessa suddenly cut in. "Claire, you look really familiar. Aren't you one of the escort girl at Summit Club? "I saw your photo on their booking list. Your price is pretty cheap!" Vanessa asked, her tone sharp. After she finished, she faked surprise and covered her mouth, acting all innocent. The classmates who'd just been all friendly with me started pointing and whispering. "Kids from poor families will do anything for cash these days." "No wonder she was always busy with her part-time job and skipped study hall. She was probably out entertaining men..." My best friend, Jessica Stanton, looked pissed, while Ryan shot me a look of disdain. But I just set my fork down, totally unfazed, and gave her a slow, knowing smile. "Of course you think I look familiar. I was the one who helped you out with your protection in the private room," I said, my voice calm and steady.
