The tail was good. If they hadn’t been paying attention, they would have missed it completely.
Charlotte kept her eyes closed, her expression unreadable. “They’re Anthony’s men. Just ignore them.”
Adonis glanced at her in the rearview mirror, a smirk playing on his lips. “So Anthony’s got people watching you, huh?”
“They’re here to protect me, not spy,” Charlotte replied, her voice lazy and soft. “Turn up ahead and slow down.”
“Whatever you say.” Adonis grinned. He was pretty sure Anthony had no idea who Charlotte really was. If he did, he wouldn’t be sending people to tail her like this.
The Hummer drifted into the right lane and rolled out toward the edge of town, finally coasting to a stop after a few more miles.
Charlotte stepped out, arms crossed, and stared down the car following them. She didn’t look annoyed, just cold and detached.
In the car behind, Snake sat frozen in the driver’s seat, confused. Did Charlotte really spot them? With their skills, they should’ve been invisible.
“Snake, do we stop or just drive past?” one of the guys beside him whispered nervously. “I’m a little scared of Charlotte, man.”
The other two nodded, eyes wide.
“She looks like she wants to skin us alive,” one of them muttered.
Snake slowed the car, voice low. “Honestly? I’m nervous too.”
Anthony had told them to stay hidden and keep an eye on Charlotte, but not to upset her or let her notice. He’d said it at least a dozen times. And yet, ten minutes in, they’d already blown it.
“Out. Let’s go.” Snake sighed, rubbing his forehead before opening the door. He motioned for the others to follow.
