'He isn't invited, yet, here he was, ruining my day just by breathing.'
Maximus's lips stretched wider as if he heard Aries's thoughts. He dragged his seat closer to Aries discreetly, able to get away from everyone's eyes as they were rather busy debating.
"My lovely wife, why do you look so upset so early?" he asked, leaning his side against the armrest. "You haven't even participated in the debate."
Aries leaned back and quirked her brow. "There's only one request when before coming in here and that was no one should talk to me. Obviously, I was upset that I now have to repeat that request."
"We have guests, dear." Maximus maintained a smile. "Should you show them how you loathe me?"
"Just one smile and no one knew my desire to disintegrate you." Aries also kept her smile. "But since it is obvious you do not have any plans on leaving me alone, I'm intrigued. Just what did that man send you to approach me sneakily?"
"Sneakily?"
