Two-faced

We've all known two-faced people before, someone who appears to be your friend but undermines your efforts, or denigrates you when you're not around.

Depicting a character like this can be a good way to generate dislike for a character, or to generate sympathy for a character. But writing a scene which shows this type of behavior, and doing it subtly, shows skill.

So here's the challenge: Write a scene which hints at a character being two-faced, but without showing the actual acts.

Good luck.
