Wax Begonia Died Suddenly?

Have any of you ever had a potted plant that died of jealousy when you brought other potted plants in, within a day? I have this little wax begonia plant that I have in the house. It was thriving and I talked to it all the time and told it how beautiful it was.

The other day, I saw these little pots of African violets on the discount table so I rescued them. They were small and yet healthy, no bugs, etc. I put something under the inner plant holder to make them stand up taller and receive more light. I set them next to the begonia plant next to the kitchen window. The violets are thriving, but now the begonia dropped its leaves and shriveled up and died within one day. I did nothing different to the begonia plant than ever before.

I remember once my grandmother had an African violet plant that would not bloom. She jokingly told it that she would throw it out (which she would not have done) if it didn't bloom. In the next couple of days it had blooms.)

Have anyone of you ever had plants that acted this way?
