What they did not realize was that this was exactly what was troubling Minnie.
She was more than ready to get close to Walter in every way possible.
They had been practically joined at the hip at work for a month then, so things should have heated up between them. However, David, the assistant, always stuck out like a sore thumb in the office, blocking her every move to get close to Walter.
After hours, Walter was all about keeping up appearances, not even offering to walk her home. How was she supposed to get him alone?
“Mom, I get it, but…”
She tried to spill the beans, but Lydia cut her off.
“You and Walter made up, right? Trust me, I’ve been around the block. When it comes to guys and girls, if he’s into you, having a kid is a piece of cake.”

Lydia had been watching the scene at Sunny Glow Beauty Salon unfold, noticing how everyone treated Minnie with such reverence. She did not care to find out why they all seemed to hang on her daughter’s every word.

She checked the time. Walter would be finishing up work any minute now.
“Walter’s waiting for me back at the office. I have to go

Into the salon.
David, decked out in a crisp white casual get–up, sauntered in.
The receptionist, a picture of youth and beauty, noticed his grand aura and hurried over. “Hey there, sir! Looking for someone special today?
At Sunny Glow Beauty Salon, the clientele was always high–end. Even a front desk newcomer like her knew better than to rub anyone the wrong way. She was all smiles and charm.

His flirtatious jab sent a wave of crimson across the receptionist’s cheeks, and she quickly dipped her head in a bashful apology.
“Sorry, sir, this place is ladies–only. If you’re waiting for someone, you can hang out over there,” said the receptionist, pointing in a direction with a graceful gesture.
David’s gaze followed her direction.
Beneath the towering windows, a jungle of greenery flourished, and funky, colorful couches were scattered about with effortless style.
