Across the hall, Luke introduced Max and Mila to Mathias.
"This is my son, Max. And this is Mila, my daughter-in-law."
Max and Mila smiled at Mathias cordially.
Then Luke gestured to Mathias. "And this is Mathias, my friend and business partner."
"Hello," Max said, stretching his hand toward him.
Mathias shook hands with him. "I've heard a lot about you. And finally, I'm meeting you. Your father is very proud of you, young man."
Max laughed softly.
Mathias pulled his hand back. "You are lucky. You married such a beautiful wife."
He grinned, his eyes locking on Mila. "I am curious about your love story. How did you meet? And when did you fall for each other?"
Max's smile faltered a bit. He turned to Mila, who stared at him blankly.
"We went to the same school," Max started. "Then we studied at the same medical college. We were good friends. And I liked her because of her talent and confidence. But I never knew it was love."
