Ian didn’t look her way. “Don’t worry. I won’t cut your pay.”
Pursing her lips, she mumbled, “I wasn’t referring to that.”
The driver was already waiting for them downstairs when they finished their meal. Although unsure asto what the guards did, they somehow managed to clear the entrance of the paparazzi.

Cindy snarked at him. “Wait till you see the paparazzi that crowded in on me this morning. It’s scary!We won’t be able to leave if they manage to intercept us!”
Meanwhile, Ian leaned into his seat as he observed the view outside, only to see that there wasn’t a
