Sitting up from the sofa, Ian checked on the throw that was draped on him. He took some time to chill before walking up to Cindy. “Wake up. We need to go now.”
Cindy wasn’t deep in sleep, so she shot up as soon as he called out to her. Nodding, her eyes were still blurry from sleep. “Okay. Let’s go.” She stumbled a little when she stood, but managed to head toward the luggage briskly.
On the other hand, Ian was picking up his own luggage. “I can do this myself.”
Cindy quickly shook her hands. “It’s fine. Let me carry them.” As she said so, she took the two suitcases from him. Ian always knew that despite her small stature, she was in fact extremely strong. He had seen her navigate herself without a problem while carrying two large suitcases before. Even his manager, Ms. Hannah Jones, commented that Cindy was far more competent compared to the others.
Therefore, Ian didn’t fight her over the luggage, leaving the lounge in strides, whereas she followed behind him closely with both suitcases in her hand. Meanwhile, the driver had taken a nap himself when they finally got to the car. Upon seeing them, the driver took the luggage before placing them into the car trunk. “Mr. Morgan, what took you so long? Did something happen to you?”
Ian apologized before adding, “We fell asleep in the lounge.”
Chiming in, Cindy said, “I’m sorry. I fell asleep when I should’ve woken you up.”
The driver knew how packed their schedule was, so it was understandable that they would feel tired. After the three of them got into the car, the driver started the engine before commenting in a cheerful manner, “It’s hard being a celebrity. You hardly ever have any downtime.” When Cindy yawned while sitting in the passenger seat, the driver turned to look at her. “The same applies to this young lady who is always as busy as a bee.”
