Meeting Wilson Fisk
"A woman who can be bought isn't worth having."

- Wilson Fisk

While working at Scene Contempo Gallery, Marianna found herself drawn to a large-framed man, staring at an all-white painting. She approached the man and spoke to him about what makes people want to purchase art and the appeal of this painting. When she asked the man what this painting made him feel, he answered that it made him feel alone.

A few days later, the man returned and told Marianna that the painting he had bought was the last thing he saw before he slept. The man then asked Marianna on a date, but she refused, citing that she was the only one working in the museum that night. The man walked away; Marianna called him back and he introduced himself as Wilson.

The two went to a restaurant and Marianna and Fisk discussed the changes in Hell's Kitchen over dinner and wine. Before dessert, which the two decided to share, could come, Anatoly Ranskahov interrupted them, saying that he accepted Fisk's offer. Fisk hurriedly took Marianna from the restaurant.

When they arrived at her apartment building, Marianna told Fisk that she usually does not date her customers, but she made an exception for him which she now regretted. Fisk asked if she enjoyed her time with him; she left, saying that she did not know how she felt.
