Catastrophe

The news about her being Cinderella has reached Margaret’s mother. That evening, when she got home from her conversation with her ‘prince charming’, her mother asked her about her viral video with Auguste.

“Bernadet called earlier. She’s asking about your viral video.”

Margaret just finished changing her clothes in her room. She went out to the kitchen to join her mother who is preparing the ingredients for their dinner tonight.

“I don’t understand what she’s saying,” Beatriz said.

Margaret sat down opposite her. “It’s about that royal engagement party that I attended.”

Beatriz stopped working. “The one you attended on behalf of our boss?”

Margaret nodded. “Yes. The shoes that I wore that night are Sharon’s, and they are half a size bigger. So, when I walked to the ballroom, one of them fell.”

Beatriz gaped at her. “Your shoe fell? My dear, that is so embarrassing!”

Margaret winced. “It was.”

“Then, what happened?”
