“You could tell?”
“I’ve known you since you were four, Maddox,” she said gently. “Your parents and I were friends long before I was their lawyer.”
“Alright,” I said.
“Alright,” she replied, and we hung up. I stared at the blank screen on my phone, frowning. I must have sat there for a long time, because I jumped when a heavy palm fell on my shoulder. I looked up to see Garrett looking down at me, his eyebrows drawn together.
“You okay?”
It was an apology for how he’d spoken to me earlier. I knew it, and he didn’t have to say the words. I nodded, getting up and clapping my hand on his shoulder.
“Yeah, I’m okay,” I replied. I accept your apology.
“Tony’ll be here any minute,” he said. I checked the time on my phone and grunted. Our manager was coming by to check on us. “We’re meeting our new Personal Relations team tonight.”
I snorted. “Our PR team’ll have their work cut out for them.”
Garrett just grinned, and nodded towards the door. We went back inside to do what we did best: play some music.
