Chapter 94: First success

The four of them settled on the couch. Margarita seemed relaxed with Sarah but had a sense of yonder when she looked at Aslan.Aslan extended the drink to Mateo. “Thank you,”“I hope you would like to have hot coffee, Miss Costello,”“Sure, Mr. Ivankov,” if he wants to act formally, why would Margarita sit back?
