Cora blinked, taken aback for a second. She quickly recovered, waving off the idea with a dry laugh. " Malisa, don't start."
"I'm just saying!" Malisa grinned. "You don't have to believe me. But mark my words. That man is either deeply impressed by you or something more."
Immediately, as the car started moving and the engine hummed quietly beneath them, Malisa would then continue where she had left off, her voice low but filled with certainty. She sat back against the leather seat, crossed her legs, and looked at Cora with an amused but serious expression.
"You know," she began with a smirk, "while I was seated there... I couldn't stop watching Robert."
Cora glanced at her sideways, unsure where this was going.
Malisa went on, "Not in a weird way o, but I was just watching how he was watching you. The way he looked at you, the way his eyes lit up every single time you spoke Cora, that wasn't just business. Not even close. That was a man being charmed in real time."
