Cecil couldn't handle the silence and finally asked with irritation, "Why are you here?". Camy elbowed to tell her to mind her business. Cecil completely ignored her and looked at Arthur with an expectation of having the answer.
Arthur smiled slightly enjoying the irritation and replied, "I had business to take care of. Vladis offered to help me. Hence, here I am".
Cecil moved her angry eyes from Arthur to Vladis as if blaming him for his visit. Vladis could only glare at Arthur for throwing him under the bus and then looked at Cecil as if asking for an apology with his eyes. He answered clumsily, "well, we should help each other you know. Especially those who are willing to contribute to the country's growth."
Cecil wanted to say something but Camy interrupted her again, "It's completely fine. The more the merrier". Cecil could only glare at her but decided unwillingly to shut up.
