Arthur was somewhat speechless. If it were someone else, they might have been moved by Olivia's sincere tone and completely forgotten the earlier unpleasantness. Her excuse was perfectly timed, eliciting sympathy and making it easier to understand why she was so materialistic.
However, Arthur had just used a similar tactic to smooth things over with Judy. "You're trying to fool me with the same method?" he thought, feeling disdain. "Your story is even more fabricated than mine. After thinking for over an hour, you came up with such a foolish lie?" Despite his contempt, Arthur outwardly showed a hint of sympathy.
"So, you've had such an unfortunate experience. Actually, I've had a similar one before. I understand you!" Arthur said, nodding. He seemed to have completely let go of the unpleasant airport encounter.
