My jaw was still tightly clenched after I ended the call with Elio. I dropped my phone on the couch cushion next to me and waited for my blood pressure to lower.
Call me immature, I thought. I didn’t care. If I hadn't hung up on him when I had, there would be no telling the words that were going to come flying out of my mouth. I’d been heated about what went on earlier and demanded that it be dealt with in some way.
I didn’t like purposely interrupting his day while he was at work, but something needed to be said.
I’d hoped that he would see reason and understand why it was so reckless to place not one, but three damn guards on me while I was at school. There was not an ounce of subtlety to be found with those men tailing me all day. And, of course, Anna was quick to pick up on it.
I wanted Elio to at least consider drawing back on the security detail. But instead, the man proceeded to make yet another cutting remark about me leaving school.
