Deliberately inviting Cleo to chat more casually to get more information from her. Aretta kept putting her many questions about Cleo's relationship with Harry.
Asked some general questions and ended up with deeper questions. Aretta seemed smart enough to read the conversation to the heart of the story she wanted.
Asking how Cleo met her husband. And how they can like each other and how their married life was.
Cleo was constantly amazed by the way she socialized.
Answering all those questions by adding a lot of lies in the narrative. Cleo, who bored to death, finally could breathe a sigh of relief after she returned to her office when the day was late afternoon.
Returned to Harry's office to announce the results of the meeting.
Harry seemed to be listening carefully to how Cleo and her assistants reported their work to him.
Harry gave lightly tapped Cleo's head to praise her.
