Out of a blue, rumors spread about the boss of Pinkorps Media having slept with a female boss of a design studio to gain the contract. With this, paparazzi swarmed the restaurant, hoping for a scoop.
If Raegan stepped out at this time, she'd be swamped by them as a suspicious figure.
Mitchel settled Raegan in the back seat of his car and then hopped in, leaving Darryl standing there, bewildered.
As Darryl was about to get in Mitchel's car, Matteo stopped him. "Mr. Cullen, we've got a bit of a situation. Could you escort the lady over there outside? We need to distract the paparazzi and reporters so we can get Mrs... Uh, I mean Miss Foster to the hospital quickly." Understanding the urgency, Darryl nodded, ushered the woman into his
car, and sped off, successfully drawing most of the paparazzi away.
