The Great Gatsby

Chapter 7

We were silent. The voice in the hall rose high with annoyance: "Very well, then, I won't sell you the car at all ….I'm under no obligations to you at all … and as for your bothering me about it at lunch time, I won't stand that at all!" "Holding down the receiver," said Daisy cynically" (Fitzgerald 116).

Why is Daisy's tone described as cynical?
