She felt so envious of the beautiful clothes Kasey was wearing, the expensive purse she was carrying, and the phone she was holding; even the phone case Kasey used looked sophisticated.
The one thing that Irene truly felt envious of was the freedom Kasey had to tell the people under her who she liked, and how, by using her family's connections, they were able to arrange a meeting with the man she was interested in.
