Michael got up once Kate and Graham approached his table. He stretched his hand for a handshake with Graham, and Graham shook his hand without hesitation.
"It's been a while since we talked, Michael. I hope we can meet more often in the future," Graham said.
"Likewise."
Michael and Graham weren't close, mainly because Michael was Henry's best friend, while Graham was James'.
But they had tacit respect for each other, and Graham knew that Michael had resigned from the army because he wanted to help Henry in his endeavor against his family.
'Whatever their plan is, I want to make sure that Michael has no ill intention towards Kate,' Graham thought. "Make sure that you protect Kate well, she is precious… to all of us."
Michael couldn't help to raise one brow but said nothing. He just nodded and watched as Graham smiled at Kate.
