Before they were about to leave, I would have said something like "before you guys head out, can I have a quick word about X account (company that he deals with)."

Having pulled him away from her, I could have ran interference by asking him to "do me a favor, be cool and walk away." Then it would be up to him to agree or not. Guys like him would usually oblige because they have not exactly fallen in love with the girl and see the pickup as long term potential. I would have definitely owed him one, but we both know that he would not have any issues taking home another girl that night.

In any case, it's not my responsibility and I'm so glad that I didn't say anything.
