"Are you the new gardener?" Linda Stuart had been in the garden for a while.
She saw Bella Scott humming a little tune as she watered the flowers, and the girl seemed so content that Linda couldn't bear to disturb her.
Bella's expression stiffened a bit as she recalled the speed at which Cecelia Anderson was able to change her face during her acting, feeling it was necessary to learn that skill.
When she turned around, she put on a respectful demeanor: "Yes, ma'am."
Linda moved closer, and upon seeing Bella's face clearly, she froze in her tracks.
Could it be that Bella's acting had been exposed? Had this woman figured out she was a fake gardener?
She took a sneak peek at Linda and found herself staring directly into her beautiful eyes. Linda's eyes were indeed gorgeous, and they seemed familiar as if Bella had seen them somewhere before.
"Ma'am?" Bella didn't understand why Linda had such a sad expression on her face while looking at her.
