Astrid's POV
The guard remained unfazed and his unflinching gaze rested on me while his grip on me intensified. I tried to hide the grimace expression that was making its way to my features as the guard continued to sink his fingers into my flesh.
"I told you....he says he does not need me anymore." I let out, still trying to break free from his grasp.
"I'll have to go confirm from the boss first and you're coming with me!" He said and started to pull me toward Mateo's room.
I knew there would be no room for escape for me if he got to find out that I laced Mateo's drink with a substance—I began to rack my brain to think of a distraction, I couldn't take this man from in a fight even if I wanted to—it wouldn't take him a second before he overpowered me and pinned me to the floor.
