"Tell him I won't meet with any bidding company representatives before the bid opens!" Alaric's tone was resolute.

"I told him straight up, but he was incredibly persistent, even insisted I take a look at his proposal," he mentioned casually. "You wouldn't believe it - it was incredibly thorough."

"You actually went through his whole proposal?"

Alaric's insinuation hit a nerve. "Watch what you're saying, man. I'm not in it for the money. I wouldn't take his bribe." Cormac was practically steaming. "Go ahead, investigate! If you find that I've taken even a dime from him, I'll chop off my hand and present it to you!"

"Whoa, dude, it was just a joke. Why the overreaction? I don't want your hands," Alaric replied, trying to defuse the tension.

"A joke?" Cormac let out a resigned laugh, "Since when are you the joking type, Alaric?"

The question caught Alaric off-guard. 'That's true. I'm not usually one to joke around.'

"I get it now - you're smitten," Cormac said with a smirk. "Love changes people, I understand."

"I'll leave you with Caspian here at the hospital. I need to make a trip back to the villa."

Before Cormac could respond, Alaric was already on his way out.
