Elizabeth noticed that Chris propped his chin on the back of his palm, and that he is looking at her with a faint smile on his face.
"You are done with your phone?", she asked Chris.
Chris confirmed. "Yes. Family matters. Sorry about that."
"Not a problem, family comes first. I hope everything is OK."
"It will be. Thanks.", Chris responded politely. He was happy that Elizabeth believed his story.
Chris looked at Max who has that irritating smirk on his face. Oh, how he wants to wipe that smirk off. With his fists. But he is a gentleman who uses his hands for healing, not for beating people, no matter how annoying they are. Also, he knows that Liz would not approve.
Chris told himself that he needs to understand Max and his relationship with Liz and then he can devise a strategy to get Max out of the picture.
"I can't help but notice that the two of you are getting along great. Do you know each other for long?"
Liz glanced at Max who made a gesture for her to respond.
