Victor got out of the car, wearing an apologetic expression, "sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you all."
"But the fact is you did lie, and you betrayed our trust. What does your lie have to do with Gelina's death? Why would you lie about this?"
"It has nothing to do with it; I didn't know about Gelina's murder until you came this afternoon. I bear no grudge against her; I did not kill her at all."
"Then why did you lie about being gay?"
"As I've said before, everyone in the barbershop knows I'm gay. It's not something I made up to deceive you...
It's just to better serve customers and gain their trust, that's all."
"What does being gay have to do with cutting hair?"
Victor rubbed his hands together and explained, "To make your mark in an industry, you must have a unique selling point; make yourself irreplaceable. That's how you increase your personal value.
You get rewarded more under the same working conditions."
