The woman stood tall, dressed head to toe in spotless white.

Her slim pants skimmed over her long thin legs that reached for miles and across her cold face was a tight frown.

Her red painted lips tightened and she spoke in a low but commanding voice, "Julie?"

"Oh, Aunt Wendy," said Julie bowing respectfully.

Lina recognized the lady and so she imitated Julie's bow, saying "Nice to meet you again Ms.Zheng."

Wendy Zheng looked unappeased by Lina's presence, "Why are you here?" she spoke cold and unemotional.

A large hand pressed on Lina's back when William Zheng appeared behind them.

He smiled charmingly, with those perfect full lips and straight teeth.

"Sister, I asked her to come. She will be tutoring Julie in English, Humanities, the Arts and etiquette."

Lina seemed surprised by the detailed description, she didn't know so much was expected of her but she bit her tongue and stayed quiet.

Wendy took her brother by the arm and the two suited figures stepped away.
