    for a businessman to partner with, you wouldn''t stand a chance of having dinner with me."


    "| get it, Dr. Funke. You''re after a businessman with a bit of ir," ric replied, his furrowed brows rxing into a light, teasing


    grin. He reached for the pitcher beside him and topped up Dr. Funke''s ss with a little more water.

    Dr. Funke''s ss for a clean one, uncorked a bottle of wine and poured him a drink.


    "Dr. Funke, in light of our serendipitous meeting, we simply must toast to it today," he insisted.


    Dr. Funke seemed like an ordinary-looking man in his fifties, speaking with humor and wit, yet there was a sincerity to him. He


    quickly put up his hand to stop ric from pouring the wine for him. "I can''t drink, | still have to driveter."


    "lll call a cab to take you hometer. It''s not every day we hit it off like this. We can''t do without a drink," ric said, resolutely
