Ceremony

Oliv and I reached the hotel designated for attendees of the ceremony.

It was a coincidence, but at the entrance, I encountered Terence Tao engaged in conversation with another professor. Spotting me, he extended an invitation for coffee once I finished unpacking.

It was late afternoon, the perfect time for coffee. I told him that I would come together with Oliv.

We unpacked our suitcases and went downstairs.

When Terence Tao noticed us, he automatically approached us along with an older man who had gray hair on the sides.

"This is Professor Luis Caffarelli," Terence introduced him.

"Ah! The previous winner of the Abel Prize, a pleasure to meet you, Professor," I said, extending my hand.

"Maximillian Sullivan. Nice to meet you," he smiled and then turned to Olivia, "May I know your name?"

Oliv smiled, "Ah, yes, Olivia Sparrow."

Soon we found ourselves at a table.
