“And what do we have here?” taunted Lelo, with an enquiring stare at Siza. “Who is this gorgeous lady, Menzi?” she continued to probe, with a smile on her face whilst staring at Siza, then back at Menzi. “Would you be so kind to introduce us, Mr Gama?” she purred in a catlike voice, not taking her eyes off an uncomfortable Menzi. She certainly knew which buttons to press in order to rile him up. Menzi was squirming beneath his gaze, but knew her all too well, and wasn’t about to lose this battle. She then riveted her gaze on Siza, who by now was amused. Siza rose and extended her hand to shake Lelo’s hand. It clearly took Lelo aback and somewhat impressed to see such courage in a woman the size of Siza, with her tiny frame and pixie-like features. No one had ever stood up to her before. “I’m Siza, Menzi’s fiancé and you are?” she asked with confidence that disturbed Lelo to the core.

“This woman has a powerful grip for a tiny lady, Menzi,” teased Lelo, as she continued to glare at Menzi, refusing to admit defeat. She enjoyed watching him shift uneasily in his chair and was tickled at how embarrassed he was becoming. She had him right where she wanted him and chuckled, as he battled to maintain eye contact with her.

Lelo is in the building, guys, and girls… Wow! This woman has spunk…

I believe Siza handled Lelo’s attitude pretty well.

Why is Menzi not handling her, though?

Why is he granting her the platform to speak to them?

She’s tormenting him and she likes it…

I’ve met women like Lelo before… through intimate conversations with my girlfriends, and their reactions weren’t as calm as Siza’s.

If it were me, I think I would have handled the matter as Siza did… my life’s journey has taught me to be calm in such situations but, I would understand why other women would react differently.
