The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1394

The driver heaved a sigh. “It’s all because of his fame. I hope he’ll be able to overcome this, as life with him is comfortable. I don’t want to work with other celebrities.”

Cindy couldn’t help but agree with him. Although she only ever worked under Ian, she could appreciate that Ian was more of a taciturn character who didn’t give her much trouble, which made her life so much easier.

When filming at other sets, she used to see how the other assistants were being criticized and chided constantly, so she knew she had it easy in comparison. Therefore, she wished that Ian would thrive within the industry so that she could remain with him. Besides, she still owed Ian money, so she didn’t want anything bad to befall him.

Meanwhile, the driver was also feeling slightly dejected upon knowing that things weren’t settled yet. After ending the call, Cindy turned to cast Ian a glance, only to find him retaining his stoic attitude. In fact, he was so unfazed that Cindy was worried about him.

It wasn’t until afternoon that Hannah called Ian. As the call was for Ian, she didn’t dare listen in on their conversation, so she watched him from the side. However, Ian kept a poker face throughout the call, so it was nigh impossible for her to even guess what he heard over the phone by observing his facial expressions.

The call didn’t last long, as Ian hung up after a while, putting his phone away. Upon seeing that, Cindy asked, “Is the call from Ms. Jones? What did she say?”

Ian recalled their conversation before relaying the message. “She said we should take some time off. While the scandal hasn’t had much of an impact, there are too many paparazzi out there now, so we need to keep a low profile.”

Nodding, Cindy queried, “Did she tell you how the scandal will be handled?”

Glancing at Cindy, Ian asked, “Why do you sound so afraid? Even if things go awry, I’ll be the one who’ll be bearing the brunt of it, so it won’t affect you.”

As soon as Logan heard that, he was riled up. “Are they finding fault with you because they think nobody has your back? I was reading the sh*t that people are spouting online. They’re literally stepping on you to rise in the ranks! I’ll have Lorraine teach them a lesson tomorrow! Don’t you worry! I’ll make sure they get what they deserve!”

Warmth coursed through Ian’s heart when he heard what Logan said. Throughout the years, Logan was always the first to stand up for him no matter what happened. With a smile on his face, Ian consoled, “It’s alright. This isn’t anything serious, so you should just stay put. I can handle this. If a major slip up happens in the future, I’ll make sure to come look for you.”

However, Logan didn’t care if it wasn’t a major slip up, as he couldn’t stand anybody messing with Ian. His tone frigid, he said, “I’ll gladly solve even the tiniest of incidents for you, as messing with you means crossing me! I’ll make sure whoever did this pays for their actions!”

Ian couldn’t help but smile gently at Logan’s words.
