I was curious about her acquaintance with Fat Tony and asked, "You and Fat Tony seem to know each other rather well. Did you help Lyla pay back the money that she owed him?"
Sylvia stared at me for a while and then told me that she and Fat Tony had known each other for many years, but Fat Tony was a gangster and she kept him at arm's length. She treated him as an ordinary friend and did not expect him to do such a thing to her.
Sylvia was very angry and said, "I can't just let this rest after what Fat Tony did to me!" She fumed.
"What do you intend to do?" I asked.
Sylvia fell silent, her eyes dull as though she was debating how she should avenge him.
Her T-shirt was very loose, I was standing while she was sitting. I was able to look right through the wide neckline.
Gulp! I swallow
