Cole seemed to be interested when he heard this and tilted his head to look at me. "How could you tell?"
I would not have made that up if I knew.
Did he need an answer to everything?
I filtered through my mind and fixed on a scene from our first meeting. "It’s like when I met you for the first time. You put on a whole play, which was unexpected. I could tell from that."
Cole laughed heartily after I said that.
He clapped his hands. "I didn't expect you to be someone who holds grudges, President Lane." I only wanted to answer him and did not expect him to continue. "Coincidentally, I’m that sort too."
Could there be some deep meaning in these words?
Cole continued before I had time to think about it, "How did it go yesterday? Did you succeed?"
He was eager to know the outcome of yesterday. That was why he came early in the morning. He probably wanted to ask me about it.
Thinking of this, I answered him softly, "Well, it worked. Carlson and Yvonne were shocked when they heard the name Millicent Yard, and they agreed to Tyler's marriage after that."
After I said that, I saw Cole spread out his hands as if he had been confident about this.
"What do you think? Wasn’t my method the best?”
"How did you know that, Mr. Anders? Do you know Carlson and Yvonne?" I asked cautiously.
Cole looked at me, his lips pursed as he smiled gently. "I’ve only heard about them. I’ve never met them.”
