"Good afternoon," Edgar said as soon as he entered the room. He gave Wilma a quick look over to see the type of person she was. He noticed her holding Alessandra's hand and Alessandra giving him a look as if warning him to be nice. He was always nice so he didn't see the need for the warning. "It is nice to meet you, Mrs. Cromwell," he held out his hand to greet her.
