The room was tense.
Xiomara stood with her arms crossed, her chin lifted, her eyes blazing. She had just threatened Veyra. She had said she would not let the matter rest.
Veyra looked at her. Then she started to clap.
Slowly and deliberately which made the sound echoed off the walls.
"Bravo," Veyra said. "That was a wonderful performance."
Xiomara’s face went red. "What are you doing?"
"I’m applauding your acting skills. You should be on a stage. You’re wasted in real life."
Xiomara’s mouth opened once again, closed and opened again.
"You’re mocking me," she said.
"I’m stating a fact." Veyra’s voice was flat. "You walked in here with tears in your eyes. You played the victim. You made it sound like I attacked you for no reason."
Xiomara’s hands curled into fists. "I didn’t play anything. You hit me."
"You insulted my husband."
"That doesn’t give you the right—"
"It gives me every right." Veyra stepped closer. . "You called him a bodyguard. A hired hand. You made it sound like I settled for less.”
Xiomara’s face was pale. "I didn’t know who he was."
"Does that make it any better?"
Xiomara said nothing.
Veyra shook her head. "You’re pathetic. You come in here, demanding an apology, playing the victim. But you’re not the victim. You’re the bully. You’ve always been the bully."
Professor Sterling’s face was red. His hands were shaking.
"Wesley," he said. "This is going too far."
Wesley looked at him. His voice was calm. "Is it?"
"Your guest is mocking my student. She’s insulting her in front of everyone."
"She’s telling the truth."
Professor Sterling’s eyes widened. "Excuse me?"
"She’s telling the truth. Xiomara insulted her husband. She was wrong. And now she’s refusing to apologize."
Professor Sterling stepped forward. His voice was loud. "Wesley, you are going too far."
Wesley smiled. It was a cold smile.
"Even if I am," he said. "What are you going to do about it?"
