Two girls were hanging around, hunting for a chance to ask Roman out for dinner. But before they could even get a word out, Cornelia stepped up to the plate.
With a smile, Cornelia said, "Sorry, I've got dinner plans with my husband tonight."
This news made Roman go a bit pale, but he quickly shook it off, "You're married? When did that happen? How come I didn't hear about it? Where was my wedding invite?"
Still smiling, Cornelia nonchalantly responded, "We just met. It's normal that you wouldn't know about my marriage."
"Are you mad at me or something? Is that why you're saying this?" Roman deduced. She must be pissed and saying all this to get under his skin. Her rep was shot. What man would want to marry her now?
The only guys who would take her were probably the ones no one else wanted, or those who couldn't find anyone else.
Two female colleagues chimed in, "Did you guys know each other before?"
Roman didn't answer, his gaze locked on Cornelia. He was Cornelia's first love. He knew she used to have a thing for him, probably even more than he did for her. How could she just forget about him and marry someone else?
He was certain that no matter how long he was gone, Cornelia would still be waiting for him when he came back.
So, he concluded that Cornelia was lying.
She must be lying.
She pretended not to see him today just to get his attention. And boy, did she get it. Then she dropped the bombshell that she was married.
She must be playing games with him.
