"It's okay now.I'm here to protect you!" Wendy glanced up at his face.
Ryan wore his characteristic cold expression.
However, Wendy inherently felt an inexplicable sense of security.
‘'Who was afraid? Not me, for sure! I was just a little sad and disappointed because the audience pronounced me guilty based on the cutting words of a total stranger.Even my fans didn't spare me.But I never imagined in my wildest dreams that you would come to my rescue like my knight in shining armor so quickly.It's certainly not true that I was not moved" A myriad of phones ploughed onto Ryan's body.
He took off his coat, covered Wendy with it and lifted her up like Superman.
Surprised, Wendy grabbed his clothes subliminally.
"Ryan!"
"Trust me!"
His tone had a calming effect on her.
She closed her eyes, leaned against his chest and surrendered to him.Her body language gave him permission to handle the situation.
His heart pounded like a drum in his chest.
It gave Wendy a sense of relief and purpose.
With her head covered, Wendy was oblivious of what was happening around her.
All she remembered were the rush of footsteps from the studio and then there was absolute silence.
The raucous abuse had stopped.
The entire world had now fallen deathly silent.
The sound of Ryan's footsteps on the floor were the only echoes she could hear.
Wendy's curiosity was aroused.
She didn't know what modus operandi he had applied to exit the studio so smoothly.
When they reached the lounge, Ryan gently put her down.
He removed the coat from Wendy's head.
She suddenly remembered something important.She grabbed Ryan's sleeve and said anxiously, "Ryan, catch that man before he disappears!"
The cold expression on Ryan's face transformed into tenderness.
He held her hand and said, "Don't worry.Luke will handle it."
Upon hearing that, Wendy breathed a deep sigh of relief.
