Chapter 59
This feels so unreal.
After a moment of silence, Roman said softly, “Go check on Astrid”
“Alright,” Elio responded, then reached out and ruffled Roman’s hair. ” Go to sleep.”
Feeling the large hand atop his head, Roman paused. Elio seemed… a little different tonight.
Gentler, somehow.
It was odd.
He wasn’t used to it.
Just as Elio was watching Roman head upstairs and getting ready to watch the match, Carson’s call came in. “Sir, there was a bit of a situation just now, but our guys didn’t have to lift a finger. Astrid handled it herself.”
“What kind of situation?” Elio wasn’t interested into gossip, so he had no idea about the whole Lydia thing.
Carson explained, “There’s this actress named Lydia who tried to set up Astrid, but got played instead. And I noticed that besides our men, there are others who’ve been keeping an eye on Astrid’s every move. They’ve rented all the rooms around her at a high price, and they look like professionally trained bodyguards.”
Professional bodyguards?
Who the hell is she?
When Elio didn’t respond, Carson thought of Astrid swigging from a huge glass and decided things weren’t so simple. “Sir, I sent you a video. Have a look.
Elio grunted an acknowledgment and hung up.
