Ian was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, reading through the articles regarding his scandal with bemusement. Upon seeing him, Cindy quickly explained, “Ms. Jones will be handling the scandal, and we have proof with us, so we have nothing to be afraid of.”
Smiling, Ian replied, “I’m not afraid. Instead, I find this whole thing amusing.”
Cindy heaved a sigh. “Ms. Jones told me that the entertainment industry is complicated as heck, so she wanted me to be on alert at all times. I used to think that I was being overly cautious, but such precautions really are warranted.”
Switching off his phone, Ian stood up. “Alright, it’s time for breakfast. Let’s not think about these.”
After finishing their breakfast in the hall, Ian checked his phone again. Hannah had yet to clarify the confusion, so Ian’s silence was being perceived as him yielding to the situation as the scandal garnered even more attention.
On the other hand, Sena’s agency made a statement some time ago, but with how vague it was, it didn’t sound like an explanation. All it wrote was that they wished her fans would focus on her works instead of uncovering parts of her private life which she wished to be kept out of sight. The manner in which the statement was written sounded like an acquiescence.
After checking on the internet, Cindy was updated on the recent development of the incident, as well as Sena’s response. Smacking her lips, she remarked, “I don’t think that’s the best way to word it. I wonder what she had in mind.”
Meanwhile, Ian merely chuckled dryly, as he figured Sena’s reaction was in fact quite expected. The other guest celebrities had yet to arrive at the dressing room when they were rehearsing in private, so not a lot of people knew that Sena and him were inside. Therefore, he wouldn’t believe for a second that Sena’s agency wasn’t behind the scandal.
