Cindy combed her hair to the side. “You should go wash up.”
With that, Ian left for the washroom in strides, whereas Cindy laid the food out on the table before sitting down. She glanced at the entrance of the washroom while letting out a breath of air that she was holding in. I only caught a glimpse of his body, so why does he look so wary? He looks alright, but I don’t believe that he was never unclothed in front of someone else.
Meanwhile, Ian changed into a new set of clothes after washing up, and he was once again the gentleman whom she was used to seeing. With the utensils laid out, Cindy lowered her gaze. “Let’s eat.”
Instead of digging in, Ian asked, “Did you not run into any paparazzis?”
Cindy shook her head. “I found it odd too that there was nobody outside.”
Despite his raised eyebrow, Ian said nothing. After they finished their meal, Ian’s phone rang with a call from Hannah. As the call was for Ian, he answered the call at the balcony, so Cindy didn’t know what their conversation was about. Ian returned after a short while to sit on the sofa. “We’ll have to wait. The driver has yet to come.”
Cindy said nothing, as she had a feeling that something was on Ian’s mind. After around half an hour, Hannah’s call came again. With his phone in his hand, Ian only gave a light grunt as his response at the end of the call before hanging up. Putting his phone aside, he leaned against the sofa. “We won’t be going anywhere in the morning.”
Startled, Cindy’s first reaction was to check on the news online. Sure enough, there was a commotion going on online. This time, it wasn’t a revelation from a third party, but Ian’s agency posted a short message using Ian’s social media account, admitting that Ian was in a relationship with her. In order to spend more time together, his girlfriend was arranged to work as his assistant, taking charge of things regarding his work and personal life. The message also mentioned that their relationship was stable, and they wished to have more personal space.
Although she knew the agency was behind everything, Cindy was still feeling a little uneasy about it. Sure, it was a lie, and the two of them were only faking a relationship, but Cindy had a hard time keeping her cool. Putting her phone away, she was at a loss of words. Meanwhile, Ian was just chill about it. Turning on the TV, he began watching the show while leaning on the sofa.

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...
