306 Maddox needs a drink (4)

"Max? Why are you drinking here?"

Lisa stiffened at the sound of Damon's voice. It was a good thing that her back was facing the door, and she prayed silently that he doesn't recognize her. Maybe he will say hi and leave.

Maddox glanced toward the door to see Damon, Talia, Mindy, and Tatiana standing there.

At the sight of Tatiana, Maddox's insides tightened. Right. That's why he was here, drinking.

Maddox wanted to embrace Tatiana and drown in her presence, but the thought that she didn't want him was excruciating. He turned his attention back to the glass in front of him. Maybe they will all go away and leave him alone.

Tatiana exhaled a sharp breath. She should have known. She didn't want to come here in the first place, but she thought it would be rude to refuse Damon's request. And now she got to see Maddox with another woman.
