บท 219: Admonishments

''Sugar,'' Maxim raised the bowl in his hand. 

Diana blinked. Just sugar? A hint of disappointment sprouted in her chest but she ignored the strange feeling and grabbed the bowl from his hand, ''Then I will clean this and get it for you. Do you want to come in?" she asked while dragging Daisy inside. 

Maxim's eyes narrowed as he eyed Diana's unruly hand before he met her inviting gaze, ''No need,'' he tilted his head to the side. 

Although he was looking indifferent, his face was screaming 'Coax me, cajole me' no matter how Diana looked. 

Just what was he thinking? 

After a few minutes, she came back with the bowl of sugar and handed it to him as she opened her mouth to speak, ''Is everything al...'' right? 

Her words were yet to finish when he turned around and walked towards the elevator. 

Diana opened her mouth to call out to him but seeing that he was not in the mood to talk, she decided to talk to him later.
