The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1542

Chapter 1542 You Have Really Lucked Out, Haven’t You?

Ian nodded. “Yes, I know.”

The guest then sat down to prepare for a makeup session. “I’m also quite impressed,” he commented. “Judging by how famous you are, many people in the entertainment industry would lose sight of themselves, yet you are able to stick through it with your girlfriend by your side. It’s a very rare thing, so I hope that both of you can make it until the end.”

…

When Ian was shooting the program, Cindy waited for him in the makeup room.

After a while, one of the staff sent her a drink.

She felt shocked upon this, as it had never happened to her before.

After all, no one would care for a nameless assistant.

And so, she quickly thanked the staff member, who was all smiles. “It’s my job! You don’t have to thank me.”

At that moment, another person was in the room, which was the makeup artist who did Ian’s makeup earlier.

The staff member also gave her a drink, but her reaction was quite calm and collected when she thanked him.

After that, the staff left without any further ado.

The makeup artist was probably used to such treatment, as she spoke after the staff left. “These people are treating you well because of Ian. To be honest, they are people who would treat people above them well and people below them with disdain. You don’t have to thank them so fervently.”

At that, Cindy remained silent. Whether it’s because of Ian or not, I’m on the receiving end of their kindness, so I think I still have to thank them.

Both of them sat in silence for a while before the makeup artist suddenly said, “I saw a news article that said you have been together with Ian for a long time. It seems like you guys met before he even started working in this industry.”

Upon hearing that, Cindy thought deep down, Luckily I read all the gossip between us before this, so I know what others have been talking about us.

Out loud, she replied, “Yes. I was still in school back then and he had not shot to fame as well.”

The makeup artist nodded. “In that case, you really lucked out. I bet you never thought that he would be such a huge success in the future, much less not ditch you.”

Her words were still quite acceptable in the beginning but toward the end, Cindy almost could not take it anymore.

However, she merely chuckled. “Well, there’s nothing to be surprised about. His character has always been like this. Since he started going for auditions, I already knew that he would definitely make it big. I think you are focusing on the wrong thing here. The reason I agreed to date him in the beginning was because he was a responsible person, and such a person would not throw a relationship away just because he got slightly famous. Hence, it is normal that he didn’t ditch me and it’s nothing to be surprised about.”

The makeup artist let out a light laugh, as she did not expect Cindy to be so blunt.

After shooting a glance at the latter, the makeup artist asked, “Are you always so headstrong in front of Ian?”

Cindy merely twitched her lips upward as she said in a lukewarm tone, “Are you so curious about our affairs?”

With that, the makeup artist shut up.

After that, a few people came into the room and she had to do their makeup.

When they walked into the room, they took the initiative to greet Cindy and treated her respectfully.

However, she did not take pride in this. She just could not stop herself from looking at the busy makeup artist, who did not look at her nor speak to her any further.

It was quite obvious that the makeup artist was prejudiced against Cindy.

Perhaps it was because of Cindy’s position as Ian’s girlfriend, or perhaps it was because of the way she retaliated harshly.

Nevertheless, Cindy did not care about it, as she had no intentions to make friends in the entertainment industry.

On top of that, she knew that one could not make true friends here, as too many profits and losses were involved.

Even best friends would get into arguments because of profit, let alone friends who were only made halfway in life.

After some time, Cindy looked at the time, as she was unsure when Ian would be done with work.

Hence, she got up and walked out of the makeup room.

At that moment, the filming crew were going about their jobs. When Cindy paused in the corridor to listen, she could hear some sounds coming from the film set where Ian was.
