as I rushed to catch up with him, desperate to explain.

But just as I reached for his arm, I was blocked by his bodyguard. I recognized him immediately; he was familiar with me from past encounters. He stood tall and firm, his expression serious.

"Sorry, but you can't go near him," he said, crossing his arms as he turned his back to Carlos. I could see Carlos's shoulders tense, but I noticed the bodyguard quickly shot me a sideways glance, his face twisting into a subtle smirk. He was pretending to be mean, but I could tell he was on my side.
