Rich People Problems-Kwan 2017 (WWT)

First Lady of the Republic of Singapore!”
The First Lady entered and was shown to her seat. Kitty’s five-inch Gianvito Rossi heels
were beginning to kill her and she couldn’t wait to sit down, but the First Lady
perplexingly remained standing by her seat near the head of the table. Why the fuck was
everyone still standing?
The butler entered the room again and called out in a booming voice, “The Earl and
Countess of Palliser!”
Kitty’s eyes widened in shock as a tall blond man entered the room, dressed casually in
a button-down shirt, khaki chinos, and a rumpled navy blazer. By his side was Colette,
dressed in a long white cotton eyelet dress with her hair pulled into a casual ponytail. She
didn’t appear to be wearing any makeup, and her only jewelry was a pair of pearl-andcoral
drop earrings.
After reacting to the shock of seeing her nemesis in Singapore, Kitty wanted to laugh
out loud at how inappropriately Colette was dressed. This stepdaughter of hers was a
complete disgrace. Did Colette even know where she was?
And then, to Kitty’s horror, the First Lady of Singapore performed a deep curtsy.
Yolanda Amanjiwo and all the other guests in the room quickly followed suit—the men
bowing low and the women dropping curtsies as the Earl and Countess of Palliser were
led to the place of honor.
* Don’t quote me on this, but I believe a goondu is the Malay cousin of a goondusamy (India), which is in turn distantly
related to a goombah (Jersey Shore and certain suburbs of Long Island).
