Maxime could feel the authority this man wielded just in the way he spoke. So he remained timid an submissive in his presence. âIâm sorry I didnât mean any disrespect. Itâs just I really want to stay in the house and I really need to make more scenes. And when he said I would probably be enjoyable for you I got eager. Iâm sorry.â He stated, nervous in the presence of Silas.
âEnjoyable?â he parroted as if that was the one word heâd heard. âDebatable.â He gave the single-word judgment with such finality it might have been taken for dismissal if not for how he lowered the crop and singled his attention to the boy still lingering by the door. âWho gave you such an impression?â He gestured the boy approach.
