Chapter 40 Office Romance

• I knock the paparazzi to the ground with a single punch and then help the shaken woman to her feet. The paparazzi groans, but I ignore him, giving all my attention to Candace. She grabs onto my shoulders as I do so, and I let her put her weight on me. "Are you okay?" I ask, my voice laced with concern.
• She nods, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you," she whispers.
• I wrap my arm around her protectively and guide her back to her apartment, stopping only long enough to message my driver to let him know to have the paparazzi taken care of. He’ll be arrested, I’m sure, considering that his harassment was caught on my dashcam, and I hope this has set an example for anyone else who wants to mess with Candace.
