Despite being in charge of the drug facility, she was only allowed to work on the business side—the development of drug formulas and their subsequent marketing after they’d been thoroughly tested. The testing itself was left to the second-hand doctors that Sergio had hired at the facility.
Yet before now, she’d had full access to everything. She could demand the progress of patients and she would receive periodical reports about everything that went on.
Even as she’d become fully embroiled with Raf and her mind had become consumed with their secret meetings, she had still done her duty and overseen the facility, knowing she had to maintain not only her image, but the results she’d worked so hard to create. Hell, it was why she’d felt it necessary to leave the country for this latest meeting.
She’d done everything in her power to not have even one whit of doubt shadowing over her. And this was how she got repaid? With being iced out of the entire facility?
“I’m going to talk to Sergio,” she declared.
“Noelle… Maybe cool down first. You can’t make any mistakes or he’ll know.”
“Oh, don’t worry. I won’t mention Raf. I will only demandmyrights. We had an agreement after all, damn it.”
Lucero hovered around her, trying to persuade her to wait a little longer before she went barging into Sergio’s apartments. But Noelle wasn’t deterred.
She only spent some time to change out of her travel clothes and put on a black suit with her favorite pair of deadly heels before she stormed out of the room.
Lucero followed closely behind her, still trying to talk some sense into her.
Too late for that.
There were four guards stationed outside of Sergio’s apartment, all giving her a nasty look as they barred her from entering.
“Move,” Noelle said in a low voice, her patience wearing thin.
“El Señor is busy. He won’t receive anyone tonight.”
“He will receiveme,” Noelle said, leveling them with her stare.
Still, they didn’t seem to budge, remaining steadfast in their refusal to keep her out of his apartment.
“Move,” Noelle said as she took a step forward.
When they only stared her down, presumably seeking to intimidate her, she lost the calm Lucero had tried so hard to foster into her.
Her lips tipped up in a sinister smile as she lowered her hands to her shoes, dislodging the heels. Her palms felt the cool metal of the guns, and before the guards realized what she meant to do, she brought both hands up, her fingers on the triggers.
Squeeze. Squeeze.
One round fired, the bullets making their home into the two men’s skulls.
The other two guards were immediately on their positions, withdrawing their own weapons and getting ready to shoot.
“Take cover,” she yelled to Lucero before she pushed her elbow into one man’s gut, slapping the gun from his hand and using her other one to aim at the man opposite him.
Just as the other man pressed his trigger, Noelle moved to the right, using the guard’s body as a shield as she fired her own gun, hitting her intended target.
With no other pressing threat, she let the last guard go. He slumped to the ground, groaning in pain since the bullet had only hit him in his side.
“See, you should have just let me pass,” she murmured with a smile on her face.
Turning, she pressed her shoe into his face, walking all over his body and pushing her foot into his injury, causing him more pain.
Lucero was trembling by the sidelines, huddled behind a pillar as she looked at the carnage surrounding her with horror in her eyes.
“Coming?” Noelle stopped to ask.
Lucero gave her a brief nod, following Noelle as she pushed the doors open to the apartment.
