Director Henson shouted excitedly, and David Redington's deep ink-blue eyes only flicked with a hint of confusion.
He just... actually reached out to support Leslie Howard.
Clearly last night when this woman told him those words, describing their relationship as 'serving' and 'equivalent exchange', he already knew she was a deeply scheming woman.
Leslie Howard was just like Grace Smith in the script, never hiding her 'schemes', nor concealing her 'ambition'.
She exposed her cunning and her ambition to obtain more and better resources completely in front of David Redington.
And such a woman, happened to be the one David Redington disliked the most.
Though he had no romantic experience, he despised those deeply scheming women who didn't hesitate to sell their bodies for a higher status.
Just like Grace Smith in the script, he didn't like such women, which is why he initially wanted Leslie Howard to play this role.
