Being the shortest in the coven wasn’t something that normally bothered her but when stuffed in an Elevator with everyone? It meant her face was far too close to some people’s chests that she’d never wanted to get up close and personal with. She could barely [i]breath[/i] and was so glad to get out of there when they reached the top. She rolled her eyes as Madison went off about someone grabbing her ass, completely ignoring it. As if she’d had time to think about it in there. For once she was glad when Emily appeared and led them all over to Blake. And she had to admit, he looked hotter in person. But that didn’t mean she was going to trust him in any way. No, she’d take his money for whatever he wanted from him and that was it. Honestly she didn’t even want to be near him. His wife, on the other hand… Damn. She was [i]very[/i] attractive. It was a shame that she was married to some rich asshole who slept around with all his secretaries. [quote=Blake]"Ahhhh, so you all must be the Coven I heard so much about. Glad you all decided to attend, come, come, take a seat. Get comfortable! We're going to be here for a while...If you all decide to play ball, but this is my beautiful wife Phillis." [/quote] Maya shot Emily a suspicious glare as Blake said about having heard so much about them… had she told him something? Nah, as much as she disliked Emily the girl was unlikely to just outright tell her boss about the Coven. It wasn’t anything to brag about. If anything, they were an embarrassment. Still, she took a seat, making sure that she was out of reach from Blake but still fairly close… and closer to his wife. She left space for Kayla and Lyss to be closer - it was their duty as leaders to take that hit. “Hello Mr Blake, Ms Phillis,” Maya said, walking the fine line between slightly formal and completely informal as she completely ignored Emily’s hint to not say anything by just introducing the leaders. She leaned back where she sat, adopting a relaxed pose. It was far too comfortable of an environment to be as uptight as Emily was. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Kayla and Lyss to get it right, cause she did. She just didn’t like how clearly Emily wanted them to all stay quiet even if she hadn’t explicitly said it. She wasn’t about to [i]submit[/i] to what the girl wanted. And anyway, someone had to subtly press Blake to get him to spill whatever was hiding behind that smiling facade (no rich man smiled and meant it). So she was going to stir things up a little. “So, what exactly is it that you want from us?” Maya lounged back further, gaze fixed on Blake. “It must be more than just magic powers if we’ll be talking a while. I hope it isn’t anything like the stuff in,” her gaze flickered to Phillis with a suggestive spark in her dark eyes, “the rumours surrounding you. It’s just that you may have a lot of money-" Maya cut off as Emily jammed an elbow right into her side, coughing at the sudden pain and shooting a glare at her. "Maya... how about you let our leader do the talking?" Maya rolled her eyes at Emily but withheld from a snarky comment or argument starter because of present company. Still, she looked back to Blake... Who honestly didn't look all that put out by her talking. So she continued anyway because honestly, she did not give a fuck about Emily's opinion. "As I was saying, why should we trust you right away?" She asked, incredibly bluntly, as she threw out any pretense at subtlety. But she had held back on saying other, nastier, things and she counted that as a win - getting elbowed aside. "And also, why is your wife involved?"
