"Can I ask why?" Amelia Cobb always played it like she didn't understood.
Looked at Henry Wood with infinite doubt.
What about Henry Wood?
He understood Evelyn Cobb well.
As long as it was something she didn't want to or was unwilling to do, anyone who came to him would be of no use.
Why?
He knew very well.
Evelyn Cobb was who she was because she had the qualifications to be Evelyn Cobb.
That point was enough.
"I would like to get to know Miss Cobb."
Saying things such as 'You look like my ex-girlfriend' is too low-grade. Over the years, Henry Wood had been scolded by many people for this.
Some light and fluttering, some indifferent.
But neither of them was of any pleasing tone.
He was familiar with everything about her and naturally knew what she liked and didn't like.
This 'would like to get to know' intentionally avoided some of Evelyn Cobb's points.
