They were all articulate while proposing their toasts to Loraine. The truth was, however, that they were just trying to get close to her.

McCoy and I have been doing business in this field for years. If you want to work in the construction industry, youd better have a drink with me.
Loraine raised her eyebrows.
Are you threatening me?
Gilmore gave her a vague smile and looked her up and down.

Gilmores seedy gaze made Loraine feel sick.
Lets see if you have the capacity to be my sponsor.
Loraine smiled and reached out one of her hands. She planned to splash her drink all over that wretched man as soon as she got the glass.
But before she could take the drink, a big, forceful hand took the glass away.
IUl drink it for her.
Marco appeared at Loraines side and took her under his wing.
