Marcus said, "Get off."
Leonardo asked, "What's up?"
Marcus retorted, "Am I your chauffeur?"
Leonardo replied, "You can drive your assistant, why can't you drive me? Is it because I'm not as pretty as Cornelia and don't deserve it?"
Marcus didn't say anything more and drove toward Blueshell Mansion.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Leonardo suddenly sighed, "I really want to know what kind of man Cornelia's husband is. She gave up all her suitors for that man."
Marcus responded, "What nonsense are you talking about? She's busy every day, where would she get suitors?"
Leonardo said, "I'm one..."
Marcus cut him off, "You?"
Leonardo explained, "I like Cornelia, and I wanted to pursue her the first time I saw her. You know that. But she's married, so she rejected me. Now I've known her for over a year and I still haven't met the man who stole her away."
This guy had the nerve to say he stole her away!
Marcus made a mental note, but showed no reaction, "Who else is pursuing her, besides you?"
Leonardo said, "You, of course. Marc, honestly, I've noticed more than once that you like your assistant."
Marcus asked, "Why would you think that?"
Leonardo explained, "It's past nine in the evening, well past your company's usual end of work time. Yet here you are, still driving your assistant around. That's not something a normal boss does."
