"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."

"Get out of here!" Alaric snapped back, then glanced at the time before looking up towards the hospital room. Caspian was still inside. With his longing to visit her, that kid was likely not leaving anytime soon.

"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.
