I smiled and tried to put Bella at ease. "I was actually thinking about earlier tonight." I took a bite of the lobster puff and pretended to ruminate on its taste. "Hmmm, I don't think this is good enough for the menu at Wendy's. And the wine here – ugh, what does a CFO have to do to get a decent vanilla milkshake?"
She relaxed a fraction, the faintest hint of a blush spreading across her cheeks.
"Yes, you heard me," I said mischievously. "I said vanilla."
"Oh, I heard you, Mr. Masen," she replied in amusement. "I'm just trying to picture you slurping through the straw of a disposable cup."
I frowned. "Don't call me Mr. Masen. We're not working. Not unless you plan to reboot the server at our table."
"I was joking," she assured me.
"Oh. Well, in that case, I must point out that a gentleman never slurps."
