I need your interpretation of the event

My friend, who is in her 40-ies and the most down-to-earth person I know, has a friend/partner/lover. He lives in a different city so she visits him mainly during weekends and they also go on holiday together. he is very rich. And this is what happened when she visited him last time.

they were both sitting by the fireplace and talking. They both were facing the fireplace so sitting sideways to each other.
At a certain moment she looked at him and said that he was different. It was still him but his face changed. she used the words " I saw a devil"( that traditional devil-like image: black hair combed to the back of his head, then something like long, wide, black sideburns, etc. I'd say a Mephistopheles looks). he looked like that for about 5 minutes before changing again to his normal appearance. she says that it was the light from the fire that probably played a trick and her brain interpreted the image in this way. she always finds "rational" interpretations to everything more willingly admitting that it was her brain that tricked her. Strangely enough, she wasn't shocked by what she was seeing.
The man is very successful in any enterprise he undertakes. Whatever he does it always bring him money. she described him as self-centered, not caring about other people, narcissistic, egoistic.
If you can explain what could have happened there, please do.
