KEVIN
I started drumming my fingers against my thigh. It was a habit I had developed when I was becoming impatient. I was not entirely convinced that letting Margaux talk to Maxim was a good idea. They hated each other and I had no idea if Maxim would even entertain the idea of helping Margaux out.
But who knows? I was hesitant to help Margaux at the start but I still ended up doing so. The girl knows how to find her way. Even when it was indirectly her doing.
I got on my feet. Margaux was finally done talking with Maxim over the phone. She handed me back the gadget, her expression was stoic.
"So?"
"So…" Margaux trailed off, she eyed each of us. Together with Nico and Astherielle, I waited. My nerves were too jumpy. I was becoming restless.
"He doesn't like me for one bit." Nico groaned. While I ran a hand through my hair, biting my lower lip. I had volunteered to talk to Maxim but Margaux had insisted that she should do it.
