The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1439

Chapter 1439 One-Month Break

Cindy had her fingers wrapped tightly around Linda’s wrist—it didn’t look like she was being bullied by Linda at all. Once Cindy saw Ian and Hannah walking in, she immediately pushed Linda aside before taking two steps back. “Linda started scolding us because she was in a bad mood,” Cindy explained while she fixed her hair.

Linda was one of the celebrities who worked under Hannah, so Hannah knew how bad Linda’s temper was. In the past, Linda had offended a good number of investors because of her hot temper. Furthermore, she had been heavily criticized on the Internet due to her recent inappropriate actions.

“What happened to your face?” Hannah turned her attention toward Linda’s assistant. The assistant had tears in her eyes as she spoke in a meek tone. “It’s nothing. It’s no big deal.” Hannah immediately understood that Linda was the one who had slapped her own assistant. Hannah had a rather stern demeanor in the first place, so she looked even scarier when she twisted her face into a frown.

The aggressiveness Linda showed earlier had completely disappeared, and she kept her hands behind her back while taking a few deep breaths. She looked rather self-conscious of her own actions. “Were you about to continue hitting someone before we came in?” Hannah glared at Linda.

Ian hastily went over to Cindy. “You’re okay, right?”

“I didn’t allow her to succeed.” Cindy shook her head while speaking in a rather playful tone. Hannah stole a glance at Cindy right then. She figured that she had to side with Cindy this time since Cindy held some leverage over Ian. Hannah therefore let out a sneer as she turned to address Linda. “Judging by your actions, it seems like you have no interest in improving your current situation. Since you’re in such a bad mood, I think you should go home and get some rest. You will be on break for the rest of this month.”

Linda froze for a moment before she widened her eyes. “Hannah, I…” A one-month break wasn’t good news because it meant that Linda would have to survive an entire month without any work or income. On top of that, Hannah’s icy demeanor was making Linda doubt that her break would last for only one month. It feels like Hannah is preparing to turn me into one of those celebrities who eventually die out after going on an indefinite hiatus.

Linda was terrified by Hannah’s words, and she immediately rushed toward Hannah. “Please don’t do that, Hannah. I’m not in a bad mood. It was all a misunderstanding.”
