The blonde woman gasped loudly in absolute shock at being touched.
She stared at Nora's simple maid uniform with intense disgust.
The entire corner of the ballroom suddenly became dead silent.
Guests stopped drinking their expensive wine to watch the scene unfold.
Nora held her grip tight for one brief second before letting go gently.
She stepped directly in front of the quiet elderly guest in the wheelchair.
The blonde woman stepped forward angrily and pointed a long manicured finger.
Her face twisted into a fierce mask of unbridled rage.
Nora kept her body perfectly still and held the tray close.
She looked straight into the angry woman's flashing eyes.
The blonde woman raised her voice so everyone around could hear.
She demanded to know how a servant dared touch a high society guest.
Nora did not tremble despite the heavy pressure building in the room.
She thought of her honest work and her deep pride in helping others.
She knew that money did not give anyone the right to hurt people.
The elderly woman watched Nora's back with a calm and curious expression.
She adjusted her wet shawl gently without showing any sign of fear.
The blonde woman shouted that Nora was completely finished in this town.
She promised to make one quick phone call to destroy Nora's entire future.
Nora simply poured fresh water into a clean glass on her tray.
Her hands remained steady as the clear liquid filled the glass.
She handed the fresh glass gently down to the elderly guest.
The woman accepted the water with a soft nod of appreciation.
The blonde woman slammed her hand against a nearby wooden table hard.
She demanded that security toss Nora out onto the cold street right now.
Nora stood tall in her dark vest and met her gaze once more.
She spoke with absolute clarity that echoed through the surrounding silence.
