"I'm not here today to see how comfortable you are, Miss Shelby. I'll get straight to the point. I came to ask you about that friend of yours... Clara. What is she up to now?"
Sarah Shelby was a little taken aback. "Clara? Ma'am, you're such a busy woman. Why would you have time to care what my friend is doing?"
"I'm asking you a question!" Yvette Zimmerman's face was a mask of rage and arrogance. "Cherie Rhodes, look at this fine daughter you've raised! Is this how you taught her to speak to her elders?"
"Sarah!" Cherie Rhodes had no choice but to say her name in a sharp, warning tone.
Sarah Shelby said nothing.
'For her mother's sake, she had to hold her tongue.'
"She's filming."
"Filming what?" Yvette Zimmerman asked tensely, involuntarily sitting up straighter.
"A Lifetime of Splendor."
Yvette Zimmerman's voice immediately shot up. "See? See? I knew it."
