The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1538

Chapter 1538 Money, the Root of Everything

Hannah finally touched on the most important point, and her words were directed right at Cindy’s weakness.

After all, she really could not reject money.

Hannah then continued, “Based on your current relationship with Ian, you’ve already revealed your face a lot. So, it really doesn’t matter to reveal more of yourself. Back then, the incident was so famous that almost everyone on the Internet knows you now. Hence, it doesn’t bring you much impact whether you join this show or not.”

Ms. Jones is right. It’s true that everyone online knows me.

For example, Gary, who doesn’t pay attention to celebrity news, also knows me, let alone others.

After taking a deep breath, Cindy asked, “Have you told Ian about this?”

“Yes,” Hannah murmured. “He doesn’t have any problems with this. If you agree, this would be confirmed.”

So Ian has already agreed.

Cindy licked her lips as her heart rate sped up, and she herself did not know if she was nervous or excited.

Hannah then said seriously, “You don’t have to feel stressed. This is actually very common in the entertainment industry. Before this, Ian did not fall into Sena’s trap. If he is with her, they would have to attend these shows together. However, they aren’t even a couple, and they are only presented as one because both of them would be able to earn more that way. Honestly, we are all used to such occurrences in the entertainment industry.”

Cindy was not someone who could speak very well and neither was she able to think on her feet. However, after hearing the benefits from Hannah, the former hesitated for a while before nodding. “Alright. So be it.”

And so, Hannah briefly discussed the show and some details with her. The company was still making negotiations and it was unsure when everything would be officially confirmed.

She also calmed Cindy down by asking her not to overthink. As soon as the company made any decisions, Hannah would inform Cindy of it. No matter what it was, they would seek her approval first.

Hannah was so polite that Cindy’s hesitations slowly abated after hearing her out.

After hanging up, Cindy heaved a long sigh and walked over to cover herself with the blanket.

However, her mind was in chaos.

Without a doubt, she had seen what celebrity couples usually do on television shows. There would definitely be some scenes that showed how sweet they were to each other, even if it did not go on for the entire show.

She did not know how to put on an act when the time arrived. As soon as she thought of having some intimate interactions with Ian, she felt her heart palpitate faster.

She wondered what Ian thought about this. From what I heard from Ms. Jones, he agreed.

Cindy could analyze some pros and cons of this decision. Since she and Ian were not a real couple, they would eventually have to break up.

If they were too lovey-dovey on screen, it would also affect him negatively when the gossip was constantly discussed even after they broke up in the future.

No matter what, this would not be good for Ian’s future and Cindy was sure that he knew that himself.

Hence, she did not understand why he would agree to this so swiftly.

She turned around in bed, unable to sleep properly for the entire night.

The next day, Cindy woke up according to her usual schedule and prepared breakfast.

Before everything was done, Ian had walked out.

First, he went to brush his teeth before he went to stand at the door of the kitchen.

Cindy could sense the hesitation in his voice when he asked, “Ms. Jones called to tell me that you agreed to join the show.”

Upon hearing that, she hummed in reply. Then, she turned around to look at him before she continued with what she had been busy with. “Last night she called and talked to me about it. I think it’s fine.”

Ian looked at her side profile and he could tell that she was torn between making a decision.

Hence, he added, “It’s fine if you don’t agree to it. The company won’t force you.”

At that, Cindy let out a long sigh. “Last night, Ms. Jones also said that she will respect my decision, but…”

She hesitated for a moment before giggling. “But the benefits are too good. You also know that I love money, so after thinking about it, I agreed.”
