Until they got outside, Astrid knew she had crossed her limit with Julian.
The guards rushed toward the car opening its door and only then did Julian yanked his hands from her.
Julian rubbed his wrist, wincing in surprise. "The fuck! You look weak, but you're freaking strong."
Astrid's eyes widened, taken aback by his comment. Has he always thought she is weak?
Thinking about this she realized that Julian had never commented on her body type before, and never made her feel self-conscious about her curves.
"Hand me the keys," Julian instructed, his tone firm.
Astrid hesitated before handing them over, earning a stern glance.
"I dislike anyone manhandling my cars, but I will let you off with a warning because of your title," he said with a hint of sarcasm.
Astrid raised an eyebrow but said nothing, while Julian got into the car. Astrid stood outside, waiting for further instructions before joining him.
