45 Chapter forty-five: Competition night

We were surrounded immediately by the paparazzi as soon as they spotted Alex exited from the car. But thank you to his reliable bodyguards and they covered him instantly. He takes my hand and help me stand steady on my own feet.

The flashes of cameras coming from everywhere almost blinded me, if not for Alex's body that serves as my eye shield. This is one of the reason why I don't want to get involved with our family business or with Alex business. I don't want these people to recognize me and follow me everywhere.. asking even some nonsense questions.

"Are you okay?" he asked me as he put his hand on my lower back.

"Yeah, I'm just not used to this, you know." I shrugged and then smiled after.

"I know, baby. But you have to, you know that." I nodded.

"Mr. Alexander Smith, may we know who is this gorgeous lady with you, Sir?" they started to ask their questions.
