The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1454

Chapter 1454 Remembering Her

Besides that, she even mentioned that the overwhelming articles bashing Ian and Cindy were merely the work of ghostwriters hired by Linda. In fact, she had all the evidence to prove that, but she simply didn’t wish to release them since she wasn’t ready to go down the route of no return. However, if people continued to threaten her as well as spread false information online, she would then publicly expose everything she knew on the internet. The assistant's final words were a reminder to everyone that justice would prevail sooner or later, and that facts would never be lost in a sea of lies.

Cindy read through the entire statement written by the assistant and got a little emotional toward the end. She’d never thought that the assistant would step up and speak up for her. After all, she was Linda’s assistant—her entire career was in the woman’s hands.

Cindy immediately asked Ian after she was done reading, “Is she going to lose her job after saying all this?”

Ian shook his head. “I don’t think so. I’ve contacted Hannah, and she told me that she’ll just assign the assistant to someone else and not fire her.”

Cindy jolted as she responded, “Since when has Hannah become so reasonable? This is great, though. I assumed the company would just dismiss her since she’s said all of that without permission, greatly affecting Linda’s reputation.”

Ian chuckled at her words. “You haven’t seen the comments, have you? Many people are on the assistant’s side—they all sympathize with her for having to endure so much for working under Linda. There’s no way the company is unaware of this, but they never took the initiative to address it or stand up for her. Since it has raised such a commotion among netizens, the company can’t possibly fire her at a critical time like this.”

Once Ian put it that way, Cindy felt that it made sense too. Anyhow, that made Cindy quite happy; whatever the reason, she was relieved as long as this person stayed without losing her job because of Linda.

Ian had a negotiation meeting with the production team of an upcoming show that morning. He told Cindy that she didn’t need to follow this time around; the meeting was more of a private matter and he didn’t have to put on makeup or any specific outfit, so there wasn’t a need for her to tag along.

Cindy didn’t insist out of courtesy either. She said, “Sure, I’ll be at home.”

Ian nodded and replied, “I want to have fried eggplant when I come back in the afternoon.”

“Sure, sure, you can eat whatever you want. Even if you request for the liver of a dragon, I’ll make it for you.” Cindy headed toward the kitchen to prepare breakfast as she spoke.

Ian stood up as well and leaned against the sliding door of the kitchen to watch her. Then, his next words were those that he’d said before. “You’re so amazing. Whoever marries you will be so lucky.”

Cindy agreed offhandedly, “Absolutely. That’s exactly right.”

Ian was a little curious as he asked, “You must’ve been liked by many boys back in your school days, huh?”

Cindy chuckled in reply. “What makes you think that? I was nobody back in school; those people in class probably didn’t even look at me. Besides, there were so many pretty girls in my class that I couldn’t even compare to them.”

Ian stared at Cindy. She wasn’t the type to make people exclaim at the sight of her, but she definitely got more beautiful the more one looked at her—she had a clean appearance which was soothing to the eyes.

At that moment, Ian couldn’t help but think of Sophia again—the woman had a clean appearance as well. Despite that, her beauty wasn’t downright alluring while her temperament couldn’t be further from an elegant or gentle lady. Nevertheless, she had a genuine personality and one couldn’t help but feel comfortable in her presence.

Those thoughts flooded Ian’s mind, and his eyes clouded over as they stayed fixed on Cindy. The woman finally turned around after being preoccupied in the kitchen for a while, only to find Ian staring steadily at her. She couldn’t pinpoint the meaning behind the look in his eyes; it somehow looked a little emotional, but it could also be nothing at all.

After working together with him for some time, Cindy could now remain calm under Ian’s gaze. Her heart fluttered slightly at the sight of that, but it immediately calmed down in just a moment. She looked at Ian and said, “What? Do you want to come in and help me?”

Ian instantly snapped out of his reverie and scoffed unhesitantly. “In your dreams. I’ll only ever be interested in the outcome, not the process.” Then, he quickly turned and left.

Cindy was quite amused; this fella would always talk to her politely in the past, but he was now comfortable enough to pull a long face at her.

Meanwhile, Ian returned to his seat on the sofa and continued to read the news on the internet.
