Ian didn’t ask for anything, as he was easygoing owing to his carefree attitude. However, he told her to loosen his schedule for the upcoming month after some hesitation, as he was feeling a little exhausted after all this time.
Hannah also knew he hadn’t been getting much rest. If it wasn’t for the scandal, he wouldn’t have even gotten the day off. Therefore, she agreed to his request without hesitation. “Sure. It’s also important to take care of your health. As long as it doesn’t affect your schedule, I will try to give you more downtime.” Later on, she added, “However, we have to make use of your popularity and the attention you’re getting when you’re the hotshot, striking while the iron’s hot. There are times when a packed schedule can be a good thing.”
Ian responded without much emotion. “Okay.”
It was apparent to Hannah that Ian didn’t have a lot of ambition regarding his career. In fact, there weren’t a lot of people like him within the industry, since it was easy to earn money as a celebrity. As resources equated to money, a lot of celebrities were intent on holding onto them. However, spending a few months working with Ian allowed Hannah to read him like an open book.
After Ian hung up, Cindy asked from across the table, “Are you feeling burnt out? Will we have less work to do later on?”
Ian didn’t look her way. “Don’t worry. I won’t cut your pay.”
Pursing her lips, she mumbled, “I wasn’t referring to that.”
The driver was already waiting for them downstairs when they finished their meal. Although unsure as to what the guards did, they somehow managed to clear the entrance of the paparazzi. However, Cindy was still a little neurotic after her recent encounter, so she was a little anxious when she saw Ian dawdling while leaving the hotel.
Thus, she pushed on his arm from the side while urging him, “Be quick. We won’t be able to leave if the paparazzi surround us.”
