After dinner, Iris said goodbye to Anna and took a taxi back to the apartment.

After saying goodbye and thanking Anna for all the support, Iris took a taxi back to her apartment.
It had been an exhausting day, not only keeping up with work but also meeting Theo and Lucas. Iris was exhausted today and needed to rest as soon as possible.
Iris trudged up the stairs, as if someone were following her. She turned around and checked, only to find that there was no one behind her.
'It's strange, ' Iris wondered, 'why does it feel like someone is following me today? '
However, there was no one behind her. Iris did not think too much about it. She returned home and ordered a take-out then put down her phone and rushed into the bathroom to enjoy the bath.
Thirty minutes later, she walked through the living room in her pajamas with her hair wet.
Her phone rang at the same time, the take-out was here, outside the door.
It was strange that the corridor seemed so noisy today.
—
The moment Iris opened the door, countless cameras were pointed at her and they started snapping pictures, and countless flashes and the sound of pressing shutters were heard.
"Ma'am! How long have you been in a relationship with Mr. Theo Kilias?" A tall male reporter asked loudly, his camera almost touching Iris's face.
"Did Mr. Kilias arrange for you to be involved in the translation today? Isn't that a nepotism?"
Another female reporter in the crowd shouted at Iris as she tried to push her way through the crowd.
"Ma'am, ma'am, please answer our question." The shutter still rang, and Iris was stunned for a few seconds as she slammed the door shut.
Reporters were still there, banging on the door.
Some even quipped, "Miss! I suggest you open the door for our interview and taking pictures! This is the first time Theo Kilias has been photographed with a female partner! You'll make headlines and this will change your life forever!"
The sounds of pandering could be heard from outside the door. There were knocks on the door, and the shouting continued. Iris did not even have time to take her delivery.
She slumped on the sofa and clutched her chest, unable to hide her shock and fear.
Why are there so many reporters and how?
No wonder she felt so uneasy and strange when she just got home. It turned out that she was being followed by so many people.
The reporters outside continued to knock on the door, and some even stuffed things under the door.
Suddenly, there was a hum outside the window, and an unmanned camera had flown out of Iris's window, flashing red light and frantically filming everything in the room.
Iris was frightened and quickly closed the curtains, sitting on the ground shivering, "How to do? What should I do? "
Shaking, she took out her phone and
began to look for the number, thinking whom she could call to help her handle this situation.
'Theo.K.'
Theo's name came up first. That's what Iris typed in before she left his office this afternoon.
So many reporters are coming for Theo Kilias's date, it seemed that he's the source of this. It was very reasonable that this matter should be settled with him.
Iris dialed Theo's number.
'Please answer it, please pick it up quickly,' Iris nervously held her phone and prayed.
The reporters outside the door were still buzzing, and the drone's voice outside the window could not be ignored. She needed Theo, at least at this moment, she needed him.
"Iris?" Theo's gentle voice came over the phone.
"Mr. Kilias!" Iris cried — it was the tear out of fear, and it was also because Theo picked up the phone to give her a sense of security and hope.
"Thank you for picking it up, please, I need help."
Iris's voice trembled as she cried out to Theo.
"What's Wrong?" Theo on the other end of the line heard her crying and stood up immediately, startling Antony, his assistant.
Iris added, shivering, "Reporters... There are a lot of reporters outside my house... There are also drones outside my window."
Theo's heart sank. 'They're faster than I expected. '
"Send me your address. I'll come pick you up right away. Your home is not safe."
Theo gestured to his assistant as he comforted Iris. "Turn your voice down. Don't open the door until I get there."
Iris gave Theo the address, Theo grabbed his coat, Antony rushed out the door, pulled out the car, and Theo, with a sullen face, dialed the phone. "Are you at the police station? I need you to do something for me."
Theo called his bodyguards and followed behind the car.
He then called Iris and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'll be right there. The police will arrive very soon. I will protect you from those crazy reporters, I'm here for you."
Iris sobbed and nodded, thought of that Theo couldn't see it, she said yes to her phone, and stayed in a dark shadow, didn't dare to turn on any lights in her room.
Reporters would know where she was then.
Theo's car soon arrived at Iris's apartment, and one of the reporters spotted it.
"Theo's Here!" The reporters wanted to go downstairs and shoot Theo, but they also wanted to know if he would go upstairs.
It couldn't be a coincidence that Theo's car showed up downstairs just as Iris's door was being held up and spotted by reporters.
He must be there to clear all the reporters and protect his girl.
This time all reporters were out of happiness, they knew this time they got a headline news, it was not even a rumor like before, they spotted this woman appeared in Theo's hospital, and entered his office for more than 30 minutes, now he appeared downstairs of her apartment, right after they found where Iris lived and followed her here.
At the same time, the sound of sirens gradually approached, until it stopped at the apartment building.
