The Same Condition

Max recalled Mary's objective. He looked at the necklace before helping Sofia take off the one she was wearing around her neck, then put the new one on her.

Sandra had already brought the mirror for Sofia to take a look at herself. In the reflection, the diamonds sparkled as they reflected the bright lights.

Sofia smiled as she ran her hands over the jewels, "Well, this looks really nice."

"Max has such good taste," Sandra remarked

"Of course he does! Otherwise, how could he have picked you as his woman?"

Max's eyes swept over their necklaces. A thought came to him, and something dark flashed in the depths of his eyes.

A short while later, the maid came to inform them that Mary had arrived.

Sofia smiled and said, "Max, today Mary is here to do an exclusive interview with Sandra for their platform. You should sit next to Sandra and keep her company later."

Mary, Priscilla and Andrew had just entered the foyer.
