"Your brother didn't die twenty years ago." Mae said. "My friend and I knew him." She said as she pulled Mien forward.
The man stared at Mien and Mae for a while, he was rendered speechless by what Mae had just revealed.
"Impossible." The man said after a long silence.
"Sir, what's your name?" Mien asked.
Cedric suddenly realized that he never even asked for their names, no wonder they were so hostile towards him.
"Max, and my mother is Joan." He said with a slight smile.
"Hi Max, my name is Mien and this is Mae." Mien said as he extended a hand for Max to shake. The man took it, making Mien smile.
"Mien and I both met Fernando in Singapore." Mae explained. "I met him almost a month ago and Mien met him a few weeks before that."
"Miss Mae, that's just not possible." Max said, shaking his head as he refused to accept what Mae had just told him.
