Linda's composure shattered. "Are you planning to freeze me to death?"
The security guards stayed stone-faced, their expressions as cold as ice.
Realizing they wouldn't budge, Linda surrendered.
She huddled in the corner, frantically rubbing her arms for warmth, whispering to herself, "Annie needs to... needs to make me proud!"
"Just you wait... wait until my daughter catches Wilson Shaw's attention... becomes the family's young lady... Then we'll see who dares to look down on me!"
Her whisper carried just loud enough for both guards to catch. They wondered, 'Did we hear correctly? Her daughter catching Wilson's eye? Becoming the Shaw family's young mistress?'
They glanced at each other, assessed Linda's appearance, and tried imagining what her daughter might look like. Both shook their heads simultaneously.
Short of Wilson losing his sight completely, he'd never show interest in this woman's child.
