However, both Loraine and Marco remained silent, choosing not to engage in conversation with him.
The ambiance was unusually tense.
Davy touched his nose and glanced at Loraine, then shifted his gaze to
Marco. “Did you two have a disagreement?”
“Personal affairs have no place in a business meeting.” Loraine’s demeanor was all business, her expression
frigid.
Marco, on the other hand, seemed as though he was on the verge of speaking but held back, his gaze lost in
Loraine, clearly preoccupied.

Unaware of the specifics of their situation, Davy cleared his throat, opened the contract, and commenced a
serious discussion with Loraine and Marco, delving into the details at hand.
He had presumed that their disagreement would divert their attention, enabling him to breeze through the
specifics.
Much to his surprise, they chorused, “Hold on.”
Showing his knack for multitasking, Marco pinpointed the discrepancies in Davy’s discourse without foregoing a
shred of the profit he was entitled to.
As Marco made his points, Loraine found herself nodding in agreement.
Caught off-guard, Davy paused, grinned sheepishly, and offered, “You two are quite the pair, simultaneously
distant and sharp on the details. Glad | didn’t try to pull a fast one on you.”
Davy tried to lighten the mood with humor, but it fell flat.
Only Marco mustered a faint smile, evidently pleased to hear him and
Loraine referred to as a couple.

Loraine, however, furrowed her brows and corrected him frostily, “Davy,
Marco and | are strictly business partners. There's no personal entanglement .”

This caught Davy off guard. He'd previously sensed a budding romance between them and had even idly
speculated with his wife about when they’d make their relationship official.
It appeared they had hit a rough patch.
Surveying the tension hanging in the air, Davy smirked knowingly,
“Well, you young Lovers are quite fickle...”
Seeing Loraine’s expression darken, he hastily rose to his feet.
“Now that we've ironed out the contract details, I'd better be off. | won't intrude further. Reach out if anything
else pops up!”
