After stepping out the door, he caught sight of a familiar face in his peripheral vision and walked over.
"Cynthia, did you see that? Are you happy?"
Cynthia Morgan pulled him into a corner, nestled in his arms, "Happy! So, the thing about her hitting you, can I post it online?"
Barry Lewis, with his face buried in her neck, said, "Sure, my Cynthia can do whatever she likes. But, that woman, who is she? Do you hate her that much? Jealous?"
Cynthia pushed him away and asked, "Why? You fancy her?"
"How could that be?"
Cynthia looked at him knowingly, "If you like her, go for it! I won't mind."
Barry Lewis heard this, "Really? My Cynthia is so good."
Cynthia let him tease her, her eyes fixed in Vivian's direction, emitting a cold, sinister gleam.
That night, Barry Lewis went to Vivian's room.
Coincidentally, Hiram Southgate was also there, asking Vivian if she wanted his father's help to bring Barry Lewis down.
