Cindy had prepared the ingredients for lunch since the recording in the afternoon was rather late, so there was time to cook by herself.
As soon as they arrived home, Ian collapsed on his bed. The show he’d recorded earlier was all games with jumping and running around, so it was a tad tiring. He wasn’t physically fit to begin with, so he was quite exhausted. Cindy, on the other hand, didn’t bother him. She went into the kitchen and started cooking languidly. Meanwhile, the driver sat in the living room, watching television. While the three of them went about their own business, the atmosphere was inexplicably amiable.
After watching television for a while, the driver sauntered into the kitchen and asked Cindy whether she needed some help. At this, Cindy laughed. “No, I can manage.”
Crossing his arms, the driver tsked. “Actually, you and Ian make a good match. It’ll be good if you two end up together.” Lowering his voice to a mere whisper, he mused, “Aren’t you tempted when Ian is so handsome?”
Cindy startled slightly upon hearing his words, but she then chuckled. As she cooked, she countered, “There are plenty of handsome guys in the entertainment industry, so if I’m the type to be moved by someone’s countenance, I would’ve fallen for countless men.”
At the side, the driver argued, “That’s different. Those people are out of your reach. Besides, Ian is far more handsome than all those guys, and the two of you live under the same roof, so it’s very easy to develop feelings when you’re together day and night.” He was slightly up in years, so he probably felt restless when he saw others being single, wanting to play matchmaker.
Cindy smacked her lips, not taking him seriously at all. “My relationship with Ian is purely business. How could one fall in love with her boss? This isn’t something a qualified assistant should do.”
The driver gave a bark of laughter. “You’re truly the proper type, girl.” He stood by the door for a while. When he was certain that she indeed didn’t need his help, he turned around and went back to the sofa.
Cindy was very apt in cooking, her movements methodical. In no time, she was done, taking off her apron after washing her hands. Very much perceptive, the driver came over and helped to carry out the dishes. Thus, she strode over to Ian’s room door and raised a hand to knock on his door. “Lunch is ready.”
