章 85: Game of shadows

Both the ladies present there were shocked by the ongoing conversation. 

Melanie was shocked because she had never seen anyone talking like that with Maverick. Even the dead Severus never defied or rebuked to Maverick. No matter how much he was dissatisfied with any decision he never denied anything that Maverick asked him. However, the Severus present in front of her not only rebuked but even mocked him. Since Maverick didn't lash out on him it was clear to her how much important Severus was to Maverick. Various doubts started rising inside her head which only made her more flustered. 

Desella on the other hand was shocked with Severus and his countenance. 

Maverick stood up with a smile and left the room.

"Good night everyone."

Everyone else too stood up and bowed their heads. 

After Maverick left, Severus too left the hall. Only Desella and Melanie remained present. 

"I guess it's farewell then. Good night Miss Song"
