No wonder nothing he ever said to the president had any effect, while he would listen to whatever Cornelia said.
No wonder the president would stay the whole night in Cornelia's room when she got wasted.
All the stuff that didn't make sense before, it all added up now.

He quickly ran through the last year in his mind. He hadn't done anything over the line to Cornelia. Not only had he not bullied Cornelia in the past year, but he had also always protected her.
