The three were looking at her with wide-open eyes at Kay's convincing performance.
The Crying Beauty was gone, replaced by a confident woman who wasn't bothered by anything. Her expression was back to normal and she wiped the few tears that had fallen.
"Well? Was that what you were aiming for?" Kay asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied now? Has that somehow made you feel all good inside, seeing me cry and look helpless? If you like, I can do that all the time so that you can feel good about yourself."
"How dare you!" Erica shouted, banging her hand on the table.
At that, Kay banged her hands on the table as well and brought her face close to Erica's, "No, how dare you. Just because I have not said anything before, don't think I'm such a pushover. I ignored you all this time because it's not worth the effort."
"However," Kay continued, as she stood up and gave her a slow smile.
