Chapitre 602: Max (Part 2)

Klaus noticed the tension in the air and a pang of jealousy hit him as he saw Emma accompanied by another boy. He knew they were just friends and that he had Ashley, but he still couldn't help the feeling.

"Good morning, Emma." greeted Klaus, trying to keep a calm expression despite his internal nervousness. He then pressed the first floor button.

"Good morning, Klaus. How are you?"

"Well, very well... And who is your friend?" Klaus asked, trying to disguise his discomfort.

Emma smiled and introduced the boy. "Klaus, this is Max. He's from my department and he's competing in the tournament. Max, this is Klaus, the phenomenal archer you've probably heard of."

Max extended his hand to greet Klaus. "What's up, man. Yeah, I heard about you. Looks like we have quite a competitor in the tournament."

Klaus shook Max's hand firmly. "It's nice to meet you, Max. Good luck in the competition today, actually, to both of you."
