"Sorry, I already have plans tonight."

Tinsley rejected Timothy's invitation without hesitation.

Timothy had been relentless in pursuing her. If she agreed to dinner, the paparazzi lurking in the shadows would snap photos, and by morning, her face would be plastered all over Annenburg's entertainment news.
