Chapter 196
Astrid bent down to grab some napkins from the table to wipe off the blood on her hands.
But damn, no matter how hard she scrubbed, it seemed like the blood wouldn’t budge.
Annoyed, she grabbed a bottle of booze from the table, splashed some on her hand, and scrubbed again. Finally, the blood was gone.
With that done, she left the room and saw two towering figures not far away.
Robb and Elio.
A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as she thought about Elio probably tailing her.
And Robb was with his get–up intriguing.
Wait a minute!
If Robb had been here all along, he must’ve bumped into Fenton when he took his men out!
“Star, come here.” Robb beckoned her before she could even think.
She reluctantly walked over, “What are you doing here?”
“I was worried about you.” Robb’s expression turned serious, “I’ve already had Fenton take that guy back. I’ll grill him again.”
Seeing the disappointment in Astrid’s eyes, Robb added: “Don’t worry; after the interrogation, we’ll deal with him according to your wishes.”
“Thank you!” Astrid managed a small smile, “I’ll head back now.”
Robb nodded, “Alright, I’ll handle the rest. Get some rest and call me if anything comes up.”
“Sure.” Astrid waved at Robb and walked away. As soon as she took a few steps, Elio followed.
Elio quickly caught up with Astrid, noticing that her smile for Robb was now replaced with a cold expression.
Astrid, engrossed in her thoughts about what happened, didn’t notice Elio’s gaze.
