Gloria instantly got the message and smiled at Maestro Warner. "Maestro Warner, it's pouring out there. Let's just let Vicky in."
Maestro Warner was an understanding man and nodded. "Let the lady in, then."
Gloria glanced at Selene. "Selene, go and invite Vicky in."
Selene was reluctant, but it was indeed raining heavily and Vicky was still Tyler's wife. She would be out of line if she insisted that Vicky remained in the rain.
…
"Vicky." Selene walked out and crossed her arms, lifting her chin proudly. "Gloria is a kind woman and didn't want you to catch a cold, so she pleaded for Tyler and Maestro Warner to let you in. You can go inside now. Have you finally realized how things are now, Vicky? You can only come in if Gloria lets you, and if she doesn't want you there..." She paused and scoffed smugly. "You can only stay out here in the rain."
"So you're saying I should be grateful for that, then?" Vicky asked.
"Of course." Selene contemptuously added, "Gloria is such a softie for being so kind to the woman who stole her man. If she had my personality, she would've slapped you in the face so you'd never show that arrogant face of yours before her again."
Vicky chuckled. "That's right. People with your personality, Miss Rathborne, usually die within the first few episodes of television dramas."
Selene's face flushed in anger. "Vicky Shaw, how dare you?!"
Vicky turned back and stared at the rain without another word, showing no intention of going inside.
Selene shot her a cold glare and went inside.
When Gloria saw Selene storming in, she asked, "Selene, why did you come back on your own? Where is Vicky? Why...do you look so annoyed?"
