Chapter 53 Regina

• Tobia holds the door open for me as I get out of the car. My stomach swirls with anticipation and anxiety. It's been years since I looked forward to this kind of scene. The loud music, drunk dancers, the smell of booze and smoke. God, I can't remember the last time I got drunk. Even when I'm at home, I still have to be on alert because you never know when the enemy will strike. If I'd known being the boss would change me so much, I would have at least thought twice before taking up the position.
• A long line of partygoers waits patiently outside, most of them on their phones or chatting with their friends. Looking around, I wonder where Federico is. Shouldn't he be waiting for me at the entrance? If he forgot I was coming, I'll kick him in the nuts. A man dressed in black from head to toe walks towards us.
• "Ma'am, the boss says, to meet him inside."
