But before she reached the ground, she felt someone grabbing her arm.
"Careful!" she heard the familiar voice behind her. Maximus held her arm and pulled her to her feet.
[Ah… Max…]
"Yes," Felixa's hands started to shake and her heart started to beat fast as if she got caught doing something wrong.
But she still turned to look at the man clad in green. Turning his face away, he pulled up his hood and walked towards the storeroom along with the other vendors walking with him. He tried to look back but he was covered by the others.
[Should I follow him? But…]
Felixa knew she cannot do that when Maximus is near her. But she could feel the nagging urge in her to go behind him and find out who he is. It was like the itch in the tip of your nose that needed to be dealt with immediately. But she couldn't do it.
Not knowing what to do, she tried to pick up the pieces of the teacup.
"Leave it. Don't hurt your hand," Maximus picked her up and walked towards the residence.
