Brian showed up pretty late this time, keeping Andre and Mia hanging in the living room.

After about ten minutes of waiting, Brian finally came down from upstairs. He walked up to them with a smile, "Really sorry, Andre. I was tied up with some work in the study earlier and couldn't attend to you immediately. Hope you understand." Mia wasn't a fool; she didn't buy stories easily.

Since she was here to stir things up, there was no need for her to act ladylike.

She chuckled, "Brian, think before you lie. Didn't you sneak a couple of peeks at us from the staircase corner just now?"

Caught off guard, Brian dodged Mia's question and instead asked her, "...who are you?"

Mia pretended to look surprised and said, "Oh dear, you don't know who I am? At our wedding, we invited a lot of big shots. Guess we missed inviting you."

Brian's face turned sour at Mia's words.

She was mocking him for not being a big shot.

"We did invite you, it's just that I have a bad memory."

Mia pretended to be surprised again, "It's normal to forget things when you get old, Brian. Are you eighty already?"

Brian gritted his teeth, "I'm fifty-five."

Mia turned to her husband, "Honey, don't you find it strange that Brian, in his fifties, looks like he's eighty?"

Andre: His wife's mouth was running wild again, back to her sarcastic ways.

Seemed like she was really pissed about something and her aggressive side was showing again.

Brian was getting a headache from Mia's words. He was an adult, he couldn't just blabber like Mia. He said, "Mrs. Cedillo, you really lack manners."
