The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1438

Chapter 1438 An Unexpected Fight

This driver was usually friendly toward Ian and Cindy, but he was still a rather hot-tempered individual. “Yeah, I’m talking about you.” Linda widened her eyes as she glared at the driver.

Swoosh. The driver got to his feet the very next second. “Who do you think you are? You want me to greet you, huh? Do you think I would want to greet someone with an attitude like yours?”

Linda’s assistant had been following closely behind her, and she thought that Linda was being a little too much. On top of that, Linda had received a lot of backlash after she got too close with one of the male celebrities—the public thought her approach was too aggressive. A good number of female fans, in particular, were boycotting Linda because of this.

The assistant hastily rushed forward to calm Linda down. “Don’t get mad, Linda. There’s no need for this. Don’t get too worked up over this, okay?” The assistant then turned to the driver. “Please don’t mind her. Linda’s in a bad mood today. I’m sorry.” The assistant spoke in a nice and gentle tone—it was evident that she was attempting to protect Linda’s reputation.

However, Linda wasn’t in her right mind today, and she abruptly lifted her hand to give her assistant a slap across the cheek. “I didn’t ask for your opinion. It’s not your turn to speak, you useless thing.”

The assistant was taken aback by the sudden attack, and she staggered backward before falling into the chair beside her. Cindy let out a soft gasp before she ran over to help the assistant up. “Are you okay?” The assistant was too stunned to speak. She simply pressed a hand against her cheek as she remained silent.

It was rare for Cindy to mind someone else’s business, but she couldn’t just sit back and watch in that situation. She turned around to look at Linda. “How could you do that? Who are you to hit someone else?”

Cindy wobbled a little as she hadn’t expected Linda to touch her. “Let go of me right now,” Cindy uttered in a rather displeased tone. She flung Linda’s hand away right after finishing her sentence.

Linda had never shown much respect for her own assistant, so she naturally didn’t think that other assistants deserved her respect in general. Once Cindy flung Linda’s hand away, Linda immediately reached forward to attack Cindy again. However, Cindy’s movements were a little faster than Linda had expected. Cindy managed to grab Linda’s wrist right before Linda sent a slap across Cindy’s face.

Cindy was considered strong for a woman, but she hadn’t applied much strength to her grip. Even so, it didn’t stop Linda from wailing in pain. At that very moment, the doors to the lounge were pushed open, and Ian and Hannah walked into the room just in time to witness this scene. Both of them were shocked to see the fight that was going on.

“What’s happening here?” Hannah knitted her brows together, obviously displeased. Meanwhile, Linda’s assistant was still clutching onto her swollen cheek as she stood by the side with tears welling up in her eyes.
