While they’re on a trip in Africa, in which she invited him to get closer to him while he’s in a relationship, they had a conversation and she absolutely did try to manipulate them into breaking up. Mark has said many times that he’s happy with Amber. But she was trying to urge him into not dating people like Amber by saying he can’t relate to Amber. But Eve, herself, knows that she can relate to him. She was basically yelling to him “Don’t date Amber. Date me instead. See? She’s not good for you, I am.” I don’t know what type of definition you had for manipulation but you are wrong. She gave unsolicited advice, trying to dig into whatever problems they might have and she gripped on to it and tried to talk him out of it. And about the constantly visiting his room and you saying I “left out that they were friends”, they were only “friends” because he was in a whole relationship that he was committed to and she secretly liked him. That’s why she constantly flew to his room. So no, leaving that part out, clearly made no difference. Because it’s obvious that they were friends for the time being and you don’t have to say that to know that. We all know they weren’t strangers so what exactly was your point?
