He wasn't someone who hadn't seen beautiful women before, and there were plenty who were more beautiful than Elly Campbell, but Elly's beauty was combined with a shrewdness and competency that was difficult to find in other women.
No wonder even someone as sparing with praise as Thomas Churchill had been generous with his compliments towards her.
Adam Jones grew increasingly displeased, as if a treasure he had hidden deeply had suddenly been spied upon by the entire world for its beauty.
"President Jones, this..."
Adam's words obviously stunned both Mr. and Mrs. Churchill, and even James hadn't expected this turn of events.
"President Jones, you say Elly, she..."
Elly hadn't expected that her well-intentioned help for James would be exposed so quickly, and by her husband, who never wished to acknowledge her identity in public.
Facing the incredulous expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Churchill, Elly wore a look of apology on her face.
