Just as Cathy reached for her wallet to settle the bill, Rosemary's hand shot out, stopping her dead in her tracks as her eyes locked onto Romeo.
Cathy was taken aback, Rose was expecting Romeo to foot the bill?
"Isn't Cathy treating us to dinner?" Romeo asked with a devilish grin, seemingly plotting to tease Cathy a bit.
"Cathy's treat was for me, but now that you're here, you're the eldest; shouldn't you be picking up the tab?"
Romeo hadn't actually planned to let Cathy pay. Seeing his fiancée so protective of her, he smiled, and quickly took care of the bill.
Cathy didn't expect Rosemary to save her over a thousand bucks just like that. She whispered into Rosemary's ear gratefully, "Thank you, Rosemary. Next time, when Romeo's not around, I'll treat you to dinner."
"I heard that." Romeo helped Rosemary into her coat, "Next time, I'll take her abroad with me; we'll work together. If you want to treat, treat us both, or don't bother."
