Leonardo laughed, “This is the first time I’ve heard someone turn me down with such a reason.”

Cornelia chuckled, “Should I feel honored then?”

Leonardo said, “You know, the more you act like this, the more interested I am in you.”

“Tonight you’re the host, and she’s the guest.” Marcus didn’t directly say who he’d side with, but his words clearly implied that even if Cornelia bullied Leonardo, as the host, he should endure it.

Leonardo teased, “Marc, you’ve changed. You’re actually bullying your friend for a woman now.”
