26 CHIVALRY?

"No, Mr. Dawson. I'm just a reporter here to take some photos of the hotel. This is all just a misunderstanding," the man tried to explain himself. However, he called Ethan by name even before he had introduced himself. This reporter already knew who he was, and he had known he was going to be okay at the hotel that day. Maya's assistant arrived at the scene and demanded, "Who are you? Are you paparazzi?" Maya was an actress, so they were familiar with paparazzi lurking by their door. She snatched the camera from him and turned it on. "Look at this, Mr. Dawson. These are all photos of you and Ms. Maya." She showed Ethan the photos captured on the camera. They were all taken from an angle that made it look like they were kissing. "If these photos got leaked, this would run Ms. Maya's reputation and yours. People would think she was having an affair with a married man." Ethan's expression darkened. Suddenly, he gave the reporter a hard kick, making him fall to his knees in agony.
