CHAPTER 343

"There, you just admitted it!'

Kira rolled her eyes. "You didn't let me finish. I was planning to take pictures of celebrities, not you!!

The man scrutinised Kira's canvas bag. 'Se

1. g. 'So you're paparazzi, not a PI?"

'Paparazzo, Kira corrected him automatically. "And no, I'm not a private investigator. I'm just here to take some shots of celebs for money."

A journalist would never call herself a paparazzo, but Kira was willing to break the rule just once if it got her out of here alive.

The man still seemed sceptical.

His gun was still trained on Kira's face.

She was running out of ideas to convince him.

A loud screeching sound startled them both.

Kira saw the man looking at somewhere behind her and turned around.

Acandy-red Bentley Continental GT pulled up right in front of her.

'Mr Cane!!

Kira was relieved.

She wanted nothing more to do with Liam Cane if she could help it.

But at the moment, she would take any help she could get.

Liam swung his long legs out of the car and was with Kira in an insta Instant

He glowered at the man with a gun. "What's go

going on?

Kira gave him the long and short of it.

She whispered in his ear, "There must be some misunderstanding. I

I wasn't following then. I don't even know who they are."

Liam's par tingled as he felt Kira's hot breath and smelled her coconut shampoo

He kept his gaze on the man. 'Get in the car. I'll handle this."

That I can't let you lace him alone. He has a gun!"

T'll be fine. Liam gave her a sideways glance.

Her face was pale.

Her hands were shaking.

But she was still trying to put up a brave front.

He said in a gentler voice, 'Just get in the car. I'll be fine. I'm just going to talk to him."

Kira stood still

It brought a smile to Liam's face. 'Are you worried about me? If you're afraid I'm going to die here, give me a kiss. At least I'll die a content man

Kira rolled her eyes and stomped towards the car.

Liam followed her with his eyes until she was safe inside the Bentley.

He turned back to face the man. 'It's bad manners to wave a gun at a lady,

Kira sat in the front passenger seat and watched Llam anxiously.

She could see he was talking to

don't you think?"

to the man but couldn't hear what they were saying.

She kept one eye on the man's gun hand and prayed he wouldn't raise it.

She was still in a daze, shocked by Liam's action.

Kira wiped away a drop of sweat dripping from her forehead onto her lashes.

A minute ago, she had been scared for her life.

The man had such a fierce look, and the gun didn't look like a movie prop.

It was touch-and-go whether she would survive.

But then Liam came.

He appeared on the scene like a classical hero riding to f

to the to

rescue of the damsel in distress.

He let her retreat to safety while he stayed to face the danger alone.

Kira couldn't help but be touched

She prayed nothing would happen to Liam.

She was sitting ramrod straight in the car.

She eyed the steering wheel.

If things went south, maybe she could start the car and run the man over.

She didn't have a driver's license, but this was not the time to be a stickler for the rules.

Seconds passed.

Then minutes

Whatever Liam said must have worked.

The man put away his gun.

Kira breathed out.

Another two minutes later, Liam came over.

He got in the driver's seat and started the car.

It was not until they were both safely out of the ca

Kira drew up her knees under her chin and hugged herself.

mind was crammed with so many conflicting thoughts right now.

Both Austyn and Elsie told her about the wicked things Liam had done.

He was portrayed as the Big Bad Wolf.

Kira had no reason to doubt their stories.

Besides, Liam did approach her intending to drive a wedge between her and Austyn.

But it was also a fact that he'd saved her.

Not just this time.
