Ian glanced at Cindy. “I’ll carry it.”
Cindy seemingly understood his meaning within seconds, so she merely nodded. “Thank you.”
The magazine’s associate editor was already waiting, so when he saw Ian approach, he quickly came over and smilingly extended a hand. “Oh, you’re finally here, Mr. Morgan!”
Ian flashed him a smile, putting on a modest expression. “Sorry for making you wait.”
Ian exchanged a few words with the associate editor before they headed in the direction of the publishing house. The associate editor said that the studio was ready, merely waiting for Ian to start. Beside Ian, Cindy frowned and surreptitiously glanced at the time. It’s not yet the agreed-upon shooting time, so why are they making it sound as though Ian is putting on airs, thus arriving late?
On their way to the studio, the people around furtively shifted their gazes over. When they noticed Ian carrying his own cosmetic box, in particular, their expressions turned all kinds of conflicted when they next looked at Cindy.
When Ian turned to speak to the associate editor, he didn’t forget to occasionally glance at Cindy. While he didn’t say anything to her, the fact that he cast her glances in concern spoke volumes. The associate editor was an astute person, so he then directed the conversation to Cindy upon seeing Ian’s actions. He asked whether she was troubled by the comments on the internet and even urged her to take things easy since this was par for the course in the entertainment industry. He was very glib, saying, “Only famous celebrities with high amounts of traffic can generate such a huge entertainment effect. Those in the lower ranks can’t make any waves despite racking their brains.”
Cindy smiled. “I’m fine. I’ve already anticipated this, and it was why I wanted to keep it under wraps in the beginning.”
As they talked while walking, they then arrived at the studio. The studio was a small room with some blurred backgrounds. The photographer was already inside, adjusting her camera. Upon hearing movements, she turned around and stared at Ian before shifting her gaze to Cindy. “You’re here.”
Cindy respectfully inclined her head at her. “Nice to meet you.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
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...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
