Ian had a similar article of clothing that was a matching set with hers, but the color was totally different, so Cindy wondered how they could get it wrong. Putting her phone down, Cindy heaved a sigh upon realizing that there would be a commotion ahead of them, which might even lead to her identity being uncovered. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t afraid, as laying her personal life bare to the public was never something that she was comfortable with.
She was a humble woman who hadn’t been exposed much to the world, so of course she was feeling uneasy about it. At that moment, she recalled the money she had in her bank account. Well, at least I received a handsome sum from the agency. She decided she would bear with the situation for the sake of the money, if nothing else.
The fact that she said nothing after reading the latest update surprised Ian, as he expected her to ask him about their next course of action while putting on her puppy-dog eyes. However, she seemed to have grown accustomed to the role pretty soon. Ian tucked his phone away after reading through the latest articles. “Why don’t you sleep in my room tonight? I can sleep on the sofa.”
Startled, she cast him a glance. “Do I need to stay? I thought I could leave later tonight.”
Ian chuckled while replying, “I don’t think you’ll be getting anywhere even if you get out of the house. The media might very well already be downstairs.”
Blinking, Cindy muttered, “They sure are annoying.”
Casually walking up to the window, Ian checked on the situation outside the house. “I suppose you should spend the night here. You can sleep in the room while I take the sofa.”
Cindy lowered her head to examine the sofa that she was sitting on. It wasn’t huge, but Ian would have no problem lying down on it. However, he was her superior to some extent, and she owed him money, so she was a little averse to the idea of leaving him on the sofa.
