He probably considered it a white lie to protect her. 

“Thank you,” she said, slowly pulling her hand away from his. 

A strange feeling of emptiness swept over him as he looked at his

The car stopped at the entrance of the charity gala. After Valda 

Theller and Brian got out of the car, there were flashing lights. 

Valda Theller tried to avoid them. 

“Don’t be afraid.” Brian’s voice rang in her ears. “These are just 

some routine shots. But don’t worry, your photos won’t appear
