The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1398

Cindy also made a promise to Hannah that she wouldn’t fall for anyone within the industry, as she was disinterested in both the celebrities and the industry itself. Retrieving a bottle of water, she chugged it down before curling up in her bed.

She was certain that she didn’t like Ian, as her reason for staying by his side was because he was easy to handle. Heaving a sigh, Cindy reminded herself that neither did Ian fancy her, so she should stop imagining things. Thereafter, she shut her eyes before willing herself to fall asleep.

Her sleep wasn’t peaceful, so she woke up in a haggard state. However, she quickly freshened up so that she looked better before going to buy breakfast. She thought the paparazzi would’ve dispersed by the next morning, but those thoughts were proven to be wishful thinking. Upon stepping out of the hotel, she could see them still standing across the street with their cameras ready.

Meanwhile, the paparazzi had also come to recognize her. Seemingly in dire need of some gossip, they immediately began taking pictures of her as soon as she came out. With a frown, she quickly left to buy breakfast without a word, whereas the paparazzi waited at the entrance of the hotel, rushing over to her as soon as she returned.

All cameras were aimed at her, and someone even passed a mic over. They bombarded her with all sorts of questions regarding Ian’s whereabouts and his relationship status, as well as her opinion on the scandal.

It was the first time ever in Cindy’s life that she was put in such a position. In the past, the medias’ attention had always been on Ian no matter what happened, but they seemed to be in such dire need that they decided to direct their attention toward her.

With all of the paparazzi closing in on her in front of the hotel, Cindy almost yelped in fear while trying to get away from them. Fortunately, there were a few guards stationed at the lobby, who seemed to have dealt with similar situations prior to that, as they quickly made their way toward Cindy upon laying eyes on the crowd in front of the hotel.

Grasping onto one of the guards, Cindy begged, “Please, help me! They’re all paparazzi!”

The guard with a sturdy build wore a frown as soon as he heard what she told him. Stepping forward, he bellowed at the paparazzi who were gathered at the entrance, “What do you think you are doing? Get out of the way! You’d better behave, or else I’ll call the cops!”
