Alice's smile at the corner of her mouth grew more evident. A moment later, she continued, "What time is it now?"
Tina glanced at her wristwatch and replied, "It's two-thirty now."
There was still half an hour before the meeting with Viola Thompson.
Alice leaned back in her chair, took a sip of red wine, and then said, "Remind me again at half-past three."
Half-past three?
Tina frowned subtly, "But didn't you arrange to meet Miss Thompson at three?"
Alice narrowed her eyes.
Right.
She intended to make Viola wait.
She wanted Viola to understand that she, Alice James, was not someone to be trifled with.
What was half an hour's wait?
If she were in a bad mood, wanting to crush Viola was as simple as crushing a little ant.
Tina nodded, and then said, "All right, I'll call you precisely at three-thirty."
At three-thirty, Alice, wearing her high heels, elegantly approached the location where she had agreed to meet Viola.
Viola must have been waiting for quite a while.
