Just like I had feared, a swarm of paparazzi approached us and I felt like hiding behind Jacob. Thankfully, before anyone could get close enough, bodyguards came out of nowhere and helped us manage the situation.
Once our path looked clear enough, Jacob began to lead me into the building. However, the bodyguards couldn't stop everyone and some camera persons as well as reporters escaped the barricade that Jacob’s men made.
A reporter along with her camera person came rushing until she successfully secured our attention.
Before I could react, Jacob wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I looked up and saw him staring down at the reporter who had stopped us. Jacob had been smiling up until now. Now, he had taken off anything that hinted at playfulness from his face. Hi
