John Brown extended his hand to shake with Michael Weber, still maintaining his calm demeanor. He said, "It's a pleasure to meet a prominent figure like Mr. Williams."
Michael Weber laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Brown, you must be joking. You're the boyfriend of Miss Johnson. She's the real big shot here. How could I compare to her? Please don't make fun of me."
Though he spoke humbly, he implied that John Brown only managed to associate with him because of Lucy Campbell, subtly looking down on John. However, Michael Weber was a man of depth and sophistication and wouldn't say it so directly.
"Yes, indeed. I'm just an ordinary person. Meeting Lucy feels like a dream to me, and I still think I haven't woken up."
