After making a quip, the woman stood up and left.
"Mr. Block, you've just cost me the chance to delve deeper into conversation with this beauty tonight!"
Once the woman had left, Eric Ribero, recognizing Donnie, casually remarked.
Donnie nodded and said, "That's indeed regrettable."
Then Donnie turned around and once again called out to the woman who had just left, clearly searching for another target.
The woman, feeling disgruntled and unwilling to come over, but at that moment Steve Coting stood beside her and made a beckoning gesture.
Seeing this, the woman had no choice but to come over with visible dissatisfaction.
"Sir, don't you know that you should treat a lady with gentlemanly decorum?"
Donnie chuckled and said, "Just now, Mr. Ribero mentioned I cost him an evening's opportunity for deep interaction with you, madam, so I'm trying to make up for my rashness."
