Amelia Cobb: ... This tight-fisted piece of work …
"What do you think? Do you like it?"
Unable to hold back her urge to cuss, Amelia took a deep breath and nodded, "It's not too bad."
Next to Christopher Robinson's extravagant mansion, lavish gifts, and company shares, your offerings are pretty much rubbish.
Suddenly, she realized that a man like Christopher Robinson, who gifts gold without knowing due etiquette, is not so bad compared to this penny pincher.
So, without contrast, there is no disappointment.
Another day goes by, with thoughts of Christopher.
Sherwin Sutton raises an eyebrow: "Does this prove that I'm improving?"
A barely suppressed smirk on her face, Amelia answers, "Yes, it does."
The harshness of her tone must have tipped Sherwin off about her real feelings.
"What does Mr. Cobb like? I'll make sure to have it next time."
Unabashed, Amelia randomly points to the trunk: "Just convert all these flowers into dollars, then we're square."
