The True Intention

Milo himself seemed surprised by this narrative, but he quickly nodded, going along with it. "I still have a lot to learn," he added, his voice carrying a mix of sincerity and determination, "but I'll try my best not to let you down."

His gaze, still fixed on Emily, conveyed more than just professional interest. 

Emily offered a polite smile, though internally she couldn't shake a nagging sense of unease. There was something about their sudden appearance and eagerness to involve themselves in the company that didn't sit right with her. Yet, with Alex's condition and the company's stability at stake, she felt compelled to extend this courtesy, hoping that involving them directly would allow her to keep a closer eye on their actions and intentions.
