When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Two days later, Evelyn indeed received a call from Lucy. However, it wasn’t to ask for money.

“…What did you just say?”

Lucy replied, “Take me and my son to that hotel where you and the other wealthy ladies had your gathering last time for afternoon tea. What’s the problem?”

Evelyn resisted the urge to smash her phone. She clenched her teeth as she responded, stressing each word, “That hotel is members–only!”

“So?”

“Non–members can’t enter!”

“Then just get me a membership, won’t you?”

Evelyn felt like her teeth were about to crack from grinding it so hard.

Get her a membership? As if it were that simple!

One needed to accumulate personal spending of over two million to become a lifetime member. And Lucy? Who did she think she was?

“I don’t care. I want to have afternoon tea there today, so you better figure it out!”

In the end, Evelyn used her membership status to bring Lucy and Franklin into the hotel.
