After primly seating herself next to the most honorable first lady of the land, Angela listened to her chat with Nicole silently. After some time, never mind how long exactly, the first lady turned to Angela and said, "I heard a rumor that you were recently given a South Sea Pearl, the world's most famous one, and I had to ask, really?"

Her words drew the attention of innumerable people; now all eyes were on Angela, waiting to hear what she would say in return.

"Is the pearl in her hand?"
