He was fairly tall, so being small herself, she had to look up to see his face. Not as much as with Samuel, but she hoped this guy could help.
“What can I do for you, ma’am?”
She smiled nervously, deciding to go the blunt route. “I’m sorry, but my crazy ex is following me. Do you mind if I stick to you until he’s gone?”
He arched his eyebrow then looked around. She could tell he instantly believed her, at least, by the way he looked down at her in concern.
“Are you okay?” he asked, frowning a little.
Camila nodded her head a little jerkily. “Yes. I have a protection order for him to stay away, but I don’t think he’s taking it seriously.”
She glanced around the cop and realized Adrien was still right there. Standing across the street, his hands shoved in his pockets as he stared at her, his face still in that stone glare.
“Would you like me to talk to him?” the cop offered.
“No, sir, thank you,” she said quickly. “Just let me hang around you for a moment, he should go away quickly.”
He was still frowning, but he went back to his job, and Camila stuck close to him, occasionally glancing Adrien’s way. After a few minutes, she turned back to Adrien, only to see him walking off, and she sighed with relief.
“Thank you, he’s gone now,” she said to the nice cop.
“Anytime, Miss. If he continues to bother you, be sure to let us know.”
“I will, goodbye,” she replied and continued on to the office. She was able to quickly get the needed files from her boss, before rushing back out of the building. Without stopping, she hurried home, cursing him the entire way because they were not so confidential that a courier couldn’t have been used.
