“That’s not it.” With a fond smile, Sena said, “I think you look better in person. You feel more real. Oh, I don’t even know what I’m talking about, but I do think your presence makes people feel comfortable.”
She ended her sentence rather coquettishly, which sounded even more annoying than what the stylist said. While Cindy wasn’t sure how Ian felt upon hearing what Sena told him, she knew for sure that she felt uncomfortable.
After that, Sena chuckled, totally unaware of how coquettish she sounded. Without a word, the stylist wore a faint smile, while there was a hint of mockery in her eyes when nobody was watching. Seeing that Ian made no further attempt at a conversation, Sena stopped before turning to face Cindy with a gentle expression. “I bet a lot of people envy you for your position as Ian’s assistant.”
With a casual smile, Cindy replied, “I do get a lot of people telling me that.”
Nodding, Sena pressed on. “What’s your name? You seem like a dependable person.”
Cindy decided she had nothing to hide, so she told Sena her real name. “My name is Cindy Selby.”
Startled, Sena commented, “It has a nice ring to it.”
Hanging her head low, Cindy said nothing else, whereas Ian had been facing the mirror without much of an expression on his face. Having her own stylist, Sena adjusted her position before beginning her styling session.
After a while, Cindy’s phone buzzed in her pocket. She pondered on the situation before telling Ian in a low voice, “I’ll be taking a phone call outside. Come get me if you need anything.”
Ian hummed in the affirmative by way of a response. The phone call lasted slightly longer than the first one, as she wasn’t back even after Ian was finished with his styling session. Recalling that Cindy hadn’t eaten much for breakfast after taking the first call, Ian stood to leave, but not before Sena spoke. “I’m almost done, so we can rehearse for a bit later on.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
