When Amelia Cobb arrived at the company, everyone who had not yet left work was surprised to see Mr. Robinson.
That day, Christopher Robinson wore a white shirt and khaki trench coat that complemented Amelia's qipao, creating a sense of harmony.
Everyone in the capital elite was aware of the relationship between Christopher Robinson and Amelia Cobb.
But everyone was unsure of the nature of that relationship.
Now, when people at the company saw the man who had only existed on TV news before, they were too surprised to speak.
The person most in tune with this was Betty Harrison.
When she brought in tea, she saw Christopher Robinson sitting next to Amelia Cobb, with his trench coat draped over her legs.
His warm palm gently stroked her wrist.
As she handed him a glass of water. she heard the man whisper to Amelia, asking if she was cold.
Amelia slowly shook her head.
It seemed to put the man at ease, and he looked at Betty: "Is John Brown here?"
