Chapter 21

“What happened?”

I just shook my head and smiled at Rios.

“Nothing. He said he wanted to drop me off, but I would rather not see him, not even his shadow,” I said, crossing my arms as I was going to be late for the meeting. Rios shook his head and drove away from the mansion.

“When you fight against him, you’re acting like a child,” Rios smirked.

My smile faded as I turned away from him. I’m also embarrassed to face him because of what I did to him last night.

I just sighed and shook my head. “There is nothing to return, Rios.”

He nodded. “I know because what you went through wasn’t easy, and I was also a witness, but…” He paused and looked at me while smirking. “You know Dominic has a good reason he did that, and you also know that snake… It’s really a snake.”

I looked at him, but he just looked straight at the road. I shrugged it off because Rios thinks in strange ways. We can’t make sense of his actions. I believe he got it from Carter. T
