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.”

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...
