Kian's POV
Nicole slipped the phone into her bag with quick, controlled motions.
"We are not going to stand here and let her steal the charity work that we have poured all this time and energy into to further damage our reputation," she said. "I am calling a press conference. Immediately. You will stand there with me and you will deliver the statement that I write."
"No,I won't." I said flatly.
She didn't move, but her eye twitched almost comically.
"What did you say? What do you mean, no? Have you lost your mind?!"
"I won't attend a press conference," I said sternly. "Not with your hand on my arm. Not with a camera waiting for me to make a mistake and broadcast it for everyone to see. If you want to write a statement, then write it. But you'll deliver it alone."
