The next day after school Erza headed straight to her dorm to change into her dress that she had picked out for the formal luncheon. After she was ready she stepped out of her dorm and right on cue the black limo showed up and she got inside.

As they were on the road Erza was feeling a little nervous about going to see her mother at the luncheon. Well her mother invited her but at the same time she knew what reputation her mother had and she would never dream of ruining it for her mother.

She then got her cell phone out only to see that she got a text from Lucy.

Hey, are you going to be able to come this weekend?

I have to ask my mother, but I do hope so.

Let me know then.

I will.

Erza put her phone on silent out of being polite then she looked out the window as she looked at all of the large buildings that were outside.

They soon arrived to a very large building and they went inside.

Neinhart looked at Erza.

"Miss Erza, I will take you straight to Lady Irene."

Erza nodded then followed Neinhart to the elevator. As they were in there Erza just thought about how her mother would feel about her dress. For Erza she knew how hard it was to keep her mother pleased.

They soon arrived to their floor and they both went to the office that Irene was in.

When they got there Irene had motioned for Erza to enter the office and Erza did so. As Erza was in there she closed the door and Irene rose from her chair and went to her daughter.

"Greetings Mother, I thank you for the invitation."

Irene just looked at her daughter.

"You have come much earlier than I expected, come with me."

They both left to another part of the large building and when they arrived to where the luncheon was Erza was surprised to see how amazing it looked. She then blinked in concern when she saw Lucy's father, Jude at the luncheon.

'Lucy said he was going overseas for a business trip this morning.'

Erza followed her mother to meet with a couple of other guests that were there. Jude was interested to speak with Irene.

"Aw Lady Irene, the Scarlet Angel of the business. I take it that this is your daughter?"

Irene nodded.

"Yes, this is Erza."

Jude chuckled.

"Ah yes, I do remember now. She was greeting all the parents at the pathetic dinner."

Erza was puzzeled but her mother seemed to have agreed with him.

"I showed up but I didn't like what I saw so I left."

"If they really wanted to impress us rich business owner parents then they should have taken that award dinner in a better place."

Irene glanced at Erza to see that she was looking away then she looked back at Jude.

"Excuse me."

Irene grabbed Erza's wrist and pulled her to the side away from the crowd.

"Erza, where are your manners?"

"I'm sorry, Mother. It's just that the Award dinner was to show parents what their children have gained just like how your job gives promotions."

Irene narrowed her eyes at her daughter.

"Don't compare my high paid job with your childish games."

Erza was hurt then she nodded.

"Good, now don't embarrass me like that again. Let's get something to eat."

They both got food and had lunch, well a quiet one for Erza while her mother chatted with others who were trying to talk her into making a contract with her.

When the luncheon was over Erza and her mother were in the car and left the building.

As they were on the road Irene had opened a bottle of red wine and poured herself a glass then she looked at Erza.

"Now tell me Erza, what did you think of the luncheon. Surely you saw that it was a higher class compared to the award dinner you were at."

Erza clenched her dress then Irene took a sip out of her drink.

"Mother, a friend of mine wanted me to come over to her house this weekend. May I go?"

"No, you'll be staying home this weekend. You need to be reminded of who you are."

Erza nodded then looked out the window.

They soon arrived to a large neighborhood that was made for rich families. When they got to one of the houses Irene and Erza both went inside.

That evening after a silent dinner Irene sat in the living room on the couch and she watched as Erza had came out of the kitchen then looked at her.

"Yes, Mother?"

Irene patted the seat next to her then Erza came and sat next to her.

"What is it, Erza? Something is distracting you?"

"Why did you bring me here? It's clear that you don't want me here."

"That's not true."

"Then why did you embarrass me at the luncheon and talk down to me when you came to my school?"

"I told you, the luncheon was of greater class and as for you to contact me, I told you to do it by email."

"You didn't say why."

"I have to keep my work phone open. So you will making it somewhat easier for me if you just emailed me."

Erza stood up.

"Unbelievable."

Irene looked at her then pulled Erza's head down to her lap. At first Erza squirmed but her mother had a firm grip on her.

"Why are you trying to run off, Erza?"

Erza broke free and student up.

"I'm going to my room."

"What for? You don't have work right now."

Erza frowned as she looked away.

"You can't really think I want to be held by you after all of those insults."

"Would you rather I didn't talk at all?"

Erza looked at her.

"You stopped talking to me since Middle school! Whenever you do talk to me it's either an insult or a command for me to go somewhere."

With that Erza left and Irene just frowned at the way Erza had brushed her off. She got off the couch and left upstairs to her room.
