NovelBook"You... what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever do this on purpose?" Diana retorted angrily.
Maria replied coolly, "Oh, so it wasn't intentional? Then you bumped intoand didn't even apologize? That's just bad manners." "You!" Diana was stunned, not expecting this woman to be so sharp-tongued.
She had no idea how to respond.

"I don't accept verbal apologies," Maria said, pulling out her phonez "This dress cost fifteen thousand dollars. How would you like to transfer the money?" She demanded compensation outright.
Diana's eyes reddened even more as if she might burst into tears at any moment. "Miss, I've already apologized. Why are you still doing this? Do you wantto kneel and beg for forgiveness before you'll let this go?" Saying that, she placed her glass aside and continued, "Fine, I'll kneel and beg." She made a move as if she were about to kneel.
Sidney immediately grabbed her, frowning as he looked at Maria. "She's already apologized. Why are you still pressing the issue?" Maria's voice turned cold. "My dress is ruined. Am I not allowed to ask for compensation?" He was really defending another woman!
