Thanks, Veronica! What the hell are you doing here?

You're definitely living up to your title as queen of the stolen luxuries.
raises an eyebrow Stolen luxuries? Please, darling, it's called "rearranging the furniture in my own castle." These designers owe me, you know?
Haha, oh Veronica. Why are you still hanging out with me?
Darling, you know I love drama and excitement in my life, and let's be real, I thrive off of making others jealous.
What do you mean by "making others jealous"? You're really just being yourself.
Exactly, darling! I'm just being myself, living my best life. And if people get jealous or whatever, that's on them, not me.
That's true. So tell me, how's your husband treating you?
Husband? Ha, please. I don't need some man tying me down. I love my freedom too much for that.
I can understand that. I think I'm gonna hit the convenience store. Want anything while I'm there?
