He opened the passenger seat for his dear wife to step in while walking around the car to the driver's seat.
Anna had yet to believe someone had seen them together. Noah promised they were safe since that was his personal lift, but who knew that man would be there at the time?
From the irritated look he gave her, she could tell he didn't like her. Was it because of the news online, or did he not like her at all?
"That's Donald." She heard Noah say and she turned to look at him.
"Do you think he recognized me?" Anna asked and he nodded.
"Anyone who works for Linco knows who you are darling." He said trying something with his phone before looking at her with a smile.
It's no wonder he looked at her that way. He must know she's the reason Linco wasn't opening tonight. Every preparation made, all the money spent had been wasted because of her. She understood why he hated her now.
It would be weird if that man didn't hate her after everything that happened. First, it was her press conference, then it was the cancellation of the grand opening of Linco.
And now the said Donald has seen her with Noah.
The last thing Anna wanted was to be seen after everything that happened today, but here she was.
"He took pictures of us," Noah said to see her eyes turn wide.
"Don't worry it's been taken care of." Noah started the car and drove out of the building.
All through the ride Anna stared out the window lost in her thoughts. Even if Noah had assured her, she wasn't She couldn't imagine what would happen if people saw those pictures, she just hoped Noah would take care of that as he promised.
It was one thing to be hated by the public, and another thing if someone else got hated because of her. She couldn't drag Noah down with her. He's been nothing but sweet to her.

While Anna and Noah went out for dinner back at Linco, Donald was done with his work and was about to step out of the building when two huge intimidating men stood in his way.
"What do you want." He asked staring at the huge men that had dared block his part.
"The pictures you took earlier." One of them said.
"Mr Declan has ordered that you will not leave this place if you don't delete those pictures and we have to make sure that you haven't sent any to any publication or news articles." Paul came forward staring at the elderly man that has disturbed his sleep.
He has been celebrating that at last, he could have a good night's sleep only to be summoned by his boss about the sneaky attitude of Donald.
"Did you really think your sneaky ways would not be seen, Mr Donald?" Paul asked, and Donald frowned deeply.
"You don't have any proof I took any pictures. Look at my phone, there's nothing here. You'll pay for this accusation Paul I promise you." Donald spoke through gritted teeth.
"The only person paying for anything is you. Mr Declan has offered you a sack later, your services will no longer be needed here at Linco. Take him back to the office let's search him." Paul ordered the guards and they dragged Donald back to his office.
"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT ME LIKE THIS?" Donald screamed attracting the eyes of other workers to himself.
Paul who seemed unfazed by the man's screams went ahead to his desk to on the computer. He always knew Donald was a sneaky old man, but he had no idea why Noah tolerated this man for so long when he could easily kick him out.
"If you don't find anything in here tonight Paul, consider yourself a dead man. Both you and your boss will pay." Donald stated.
He was so sure Paul would not find anything on him, cause after sending the pictures to a paparazzi, he had deleted the entire thing from his phone.
"You know it is against the rules of the company to film or take photos of anyone." Paul started going through his system.

Noah and Anna arrived at a fancy restaurant, both people stepped out of the car. Noah stretched out his hands for her to hold and she placed her hands in his.
She could see a few people moving in and out of the restaurant and she bent her head for fear of getting recognized. Her grip tightened on his hands as she placed her head on his arm muscle.
"No one will recognize you," Noah said but the woman next to him didn't believe him at all.
"You said so the last time and Donald recognized me." She held him tighter.
"My eyes are closed sweetheart, lead the way." Noah shook his head at her action. He ignored the gazes of the people staring at them. This woman is out to embarrass him tonight.
"Tch, acting like they're the only couple in this world." Anna heard whispers from two women who passed beside them and she held Noah tighter. She could tell they were both staring at Noah. She wouldn't blame them, Noah is indeed a handsome man.
"Ugh, show off." The next girl said loud enough for them to hear.
"Can we find another restaurant that isn't popular?" Anna tugged Noah's sleeve.
"This one is not popular," Noah said to see her shake her head in disagreement.
"People are already complaining." He stopped walking to look at her.
"How did you become an influencer?" Noah asked the woman who didn't dare raise her head to look at him for fear of being seen.
"Alright bury your face on my chest that way no one will know it's you."
"Huh?" Before Anna could understand what he meant she felt Noah lift her from the floor. One moment Anna was standing on her own and in the next she was in the air with a strong arm wrapped around her. Her eyes turned wide.
"Bury that face on my chest." She heard his deep voice and did as instructed.
REJECTED BY MY EX, TAKEN BY HIS BOSS
