"What a big difference between the brother and sister!" Linda thought.
But Linda chose to reply to Devin also in the same fashion: "None of your business!" It embarrassed and disappointed Devin.
Not only he was polite, but he looked decent as well wearing a pair of golden framed glasses.
Obviously, he was the grandson of Lord Nalan.
If Linda didn't hear how Devin talked about her mother and herself, she might even have a good impression about him.
But she did hear what he said. "Speaking ill of my mother and myself a few minutes ago and being polite in front of me now, This man must be a hypocrite!" Linda thought.
"Who is your master? Why are you here? Do you know that no servant is allowed to come into this garden without my grandpa's permission?"
Devin was still obsessed with Linda's eyes. Indeed Linda was wearing a mask. But Devin thought someone with that kind of beautiful eyes must be naturally gorgeous.
"Is she more charming when she is smiling?" he lost himself in stray thoughts.
"I'll take my leave." Linda didn't want to continue this talk any more. She stood up, straightened her clothes and began to walk towards where Nelson went.
She decided to wait for Nelson at the garden's entrance.
But the moment she stood up, Rosy seized her arm.
"What?" asked Linda in exasperation.
Rosy took off Linda's mask quickly as Linda was off guard.
She wanted to figure out who Linda was and how could a servant trespass into the garden and be disrespectful to her. She won't let off Linda easily.
She would teach Linda a lesson.
Linda covered her face with her hands at once. But Rosy managed to get a glimpse of her face.
It made Rosy cover her mouth in shock.
"Why are there so many scars on your face?"
Linda didn't bother about explaining to Rosy. She wanted to leave that troublesome woman and her brother as soon as possible. She never expected that Rosy would take off her mask. "What an impertinent woman!" Linda thought. Suddenly she heard Nelson's voice.
"My Lady, the car is ready." Nelson briskly walked towards them. He didn't like the presence of Rosy and Devin there. He saw that Linda's mask was taken off. He guessed that something unpleasant had just happened.
"Thank you." Linda said as she nodded to Nelson. Then she glanced at Rosy, snatched her mask from Rosy's hand, wore the mask and then walked towards Nelson.
"He is grandpa's butler, isn't he? Why is he here? And why did he just call this woman My Lady? Who the hell is this woman?" Rosy was totally confused.
"Nelson." Rosy called.
