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.”

“Well, you know what, the more you act like this, the more I dislike you.” Cornelia’s smile disappeared, and she said seriously, “Mr. Wilson, I have absolutely no interest in you, not now, not ever. Don’t waste your time on me.”

Leonardo started stirring things up again. “Marc, who do you believe, her or me?”

“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.”
