"Matteo! Finally, you're here. We've got a place all set up for you," called out a hearty voice from afar.
Mack, with his vest and muscular build, approached them, his towering six-foot frame and powerful muscles giving him the appearance of a gang leader at first glance.
Matthew nodded slightly in greeting. "Mr. Mack, let me introduce you to Tertius. He's a law graduate from Dornia."
Mack flashed a friendly smile at Tertius, though his attempt at warmth looked more intimidating than intended.
Tertius, feeling the weight of Mack's intense presence, took a step back, instinctively positioning himself behind Matthew.
Mack noted Tertius' nervous retreat and gave an awkward smile.
"Mr. Mack, I heard we're short on an accountant, so I thought I'd bring Tertius along. He may have studied law, but he's also good with numbers. He'd do well as an accountant," Matthew explained.
Mack's eyes lit up as the idea dawned on him. The mountains of paperwork and endless columns of numbers had always been a source of agony for him, like an unending curse. With a competent accountant, maybe he could finally enjoy a proper meal without a headache.
"Tertius, buddy, no need to be so stiff. Come on!" he said, grabbing Tertius from behind Matthew with a big grin and pulling him close.
Under Mack's towering embrace, Tertius' six-foot frame seemed small by comparison. Feeling the pressure on his shoulders, he gulped nervously. "Uh… Mr. Mack, could you, um, loosen your grip a bit?"
