So, this was a charity event. This was a fundraiser for a good cause. She was supposed to be donating to help the local women’s center. She was supposed to contribute to society. But, instead, all Lydia could think about was her missing earring. She’d only noticed moments ago, but her eyes had already gone wide in a panic, one hand lifted to tug at her now bare earlobe. How could it have fallen out? “Shit,” she muttered under her breath, attempting to retrace her steps in the most casual speed walking pace she could manage. “Shit, shit, shit!” – As soon as she reached the last table that she’d been seated at, Lydia plastered on a forced smile and attempted to politely clear her throat. “Hi, sorry to interrupt anything,” she started, leaning down towards the nearest person, “but have you seen a stray earring? It’s a little gold and diamond stud – may or may not have a back. You haven’t seen anything like that, have you?”
louise had been done talking to a few very important people, magazine editors, some of the special guests, among others, and she could spot a stranger in the crowd, she looked not too comfortable, perhaps in some sort of distress, and she could tell by the worry in her face. sure, louise yeung could be busy doing other things, but she never passed an opportunity to help--- one, because that’s how she’d be taught, but most importantly, because it grew from her heart. “ ah, no way! you lost an earring? now that’s horrible luck, ” the woman frowned, looking down to her feet, brown eyes carefully scanning the ground for a possible sight of the piece of jewerly. “ do you know if you had it when you entered the building? ”
