"Damn you and that little apprentice of yours. Stop trying to ruin all my plans. I needed to win this. You... both of you just ruined it," she growled at us. She sounded more like the helpless victim who had nowhere to escape than the fierce woman that she pretended to be. I wondered what she had gotten caught up in to make her want to win the race so desperately.
It could be something to do with her ego, but she wouldn't make such a fuss about it despite the fact that she was a drama queen. I would safely strike out that option. Maybe, it was something to do with her position in the mob and her pride kicking in. Possible. Or she had gotten caught up in some mess and was in dire need of cash. It was an improbable scenario, but I wouldn't put it past her to get tangled into something bad. It was probably the reason why Anthony had sent me to deal with the dealers and not her.
