Christian had just stopped talking when Wendy burst out laughing.
She laughed loud and long as though she had heard something unbelievably funny.
Christian scowled, irritated by her seemingly unstoppable laughter.
He asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Clutching at straws now, he continued, "You were the one who called yesterday, asking to swap Alice for Zen. So now, I'm giving you the opportunity to take Zen away."
"What's happened to you, Christian? I used to think that you were quite smart, but you seem to have lost it in the face of some hiccups," Wendy jeered at him.
That was when Christian totally lost it.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" he ranted.
"Did you really think that I was truly concerned about Zen?" Wendy sneered.
