Max patted his stomach, comfortably sitting on the couch. “Ms. Lewis, we came over to see
you.”
Hearing his answer, Grace felt speechless.
She spoke straightforwardly. “You won’t come without a reason. Spit it. What’s the matter?”
Max quickly moved closer to Grace, looking very eager to please her. “You’re indeed smart, Ms. Lewis.”
He continued, “Well, I’ve been studying chess recently and figured out-some new tricks. I just wanted
to find an opportunity to play a round with you.”
Grace raised an eyebrow and asked, “Youre here just for this?”

Max quickly interrupted their conversation. “Alright, let’s not interfere with Ms. Lewis’ affairs. Let’s go
back. I’ll practice a bit more, so that when she returns, we can have a good game of chess.”
In the evening, Max sat around the chessboard, playing with his chess friends.
The two sides were evenly matched, and the game was very intense. At this moment, a subordinate
rushed in. “Max, there’s a situation.”
Max looked displeased, waving his hand. “Get out. Talk after I finish the game.”
“But-”

“Bro, you’re good.”
“Max, your chess skills have improved.”
Max was very proud. “Thanks to the excellent teaching of my boss. I learned these moves from her.”
