She had booked a technician's appointment to fix the leakage in the washroom.

So the girl had gone to the society office to request them to allow the technician to her flat. However, she narrates that the moment she entered the office room, all eyes were staring at her body and they asked her to dress properly in front of gentlemen sitting in the room.
