Cornelia didn't even try to grab his cigarette, let alone look at him.
Could it be that Cornelia didn't notice he was smoking?
He pressed the lighter harder a few times, making a clicking sound, finally caught Cornelia's attention.
Marcus leaned forward slightly, making it easier for her to take the cigarette from his hand.
Cornelia handed over Zack's lighter with both hands, "President Hartley, your lighter's broken, use this one first."
Zack was going to smoke, and she was in such a hurry to stop him. And when Marcus wanted to smoke, she not only didn't stop him but also handed over a lighter.
He couldn't help but wonder if she wanted to get rid of him so she could start over again?
Marcus looked at the lighter handed to him and asked, "Did I ask you to hand me a lighter?"
Was it wrong for her to hand over a lighter when his was broken?
Zack shivered with fear but didn't back down, "Why are you picking on my Nelly, man?"
"Your Nelly? She's mine," Marcus said with a straight face and left.
Zack asked, "Nelly, does he bully you all the time?"
"How come!" Cornelia didn't know what was up with Marcus, "It's getting late. You should go home. We'll go house hunting together tomorrow morning."
Zack agreed, "Alright, Abby and I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
The next day, Cornelia got up early.
