She was taken aback!
Malcolm was really... as narcissistic as ever! He thought she was looking for him? She really 'admired' his narcissism.
"I knew you always loved me! You refused me because you didn't want to listen to your heart. Then, when you saw me stay with another woman, you hated me. First, you destroyed my relationship with Helen, and then you wanted me to lose face in front of Patty. Now you know I'm here for Lady Heather Denmark, so you want to screw things up again, don't you?" said Malcolm with satisfaction and exasperation.
"So that's what you're thinking?" said
Heather. She tried hard not to laugh.
She suddenly realized that it seemed funny to watch Malcolm perform alone.
However, in Malcolm's ears, her words were a tacit admission.
