"How dare you talk like this instead of apologizing for ruining Rina's dress?" Another friend of Charlotte stepped forward. "Do you know how expensive it is?"
Natalie could see that this one was another spoiled daughter from some rich family. "No, I don't, and neither do I wish to know," Natalie replied calmly. "But it would be better if you take your friend to clean up so her dress won't end up with any stains."
"First, you ruined my dress, and now you are—"
"My sympathy goes as far as worrying about your clothes. Beyond that, I don't care," Natalie replied. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to eat."
Natalie sat in her chair and was about to resume eating when an angry Rina pushed the dish aside, causing it to fall to the ground.
