Naomi sat on the couch and she turned around to look at Cindy, who had just entered the kitchen. Then, Naomi raised her voice, “What if Ian and Yulia are actually entangled with each other? What would you do?”
At this moment, Cindy stopped what she was doing and casually replied, “Well, that would be the end of us. What else can I do?”
“You’ve really underestimated everything.” Naomi suddenly gasped.
However, Cindy maintained her silence. Well, what else can I do other than this?!
As she prepared dinner, her cell phone rang before she could finish cooking a dish.
Since her phone had been placed on the coffee table, Naomi was able to grab hold of it first and glanced at it before Cindy walked over. “It’s Aurora.”
Cindy hurriedly wiped her hands and reached out for her phone, but Naomi didn’t hand over the phone. Instead, Naomi answered the call and tapped on the loudspeaker option before Cindy could even react.
Soon, Aurora’s voice rang out. “Hey, Cindy.”
Cindy greeted, “Yes, that’s me. Is there something that you need?”
Meanwhile, Aurora sighed. “You must have seen the news on the internet. I felt like I needed to explain that it’s not true. I was there when Ian and Miss Noble met up with each other, but the photos that were posted online didn’t feature me in any one of them. I’m quite sure that this is intentional by the media and they’ve cropped me out of the photo to create some news.”
In response, Cindy had asked for Ian’s current plan.
A resigned Aurora replied, “He has returned to the company. This has become a major issue, so they’re probably organizing a meeting at the company to come up with a solution for this.”
At this moment, Naomi, who was standing by the side, finally revealed a much more pleasant expression.
Meanwhile, Cindy continued to comfort Aurora, “I didn’t jump to conclusions, don’t worry. I’ll find out from Ian what the company’s decision is once he arrives home. If it’s necessary, I don’t mind fronting the press to clarify things.”
Aurora then exhaled deeply before she responded, “That’s great. That’s all for now.”
After the call ended, Naomi maintained her grip on the phone. “Fortunately, he wasn’t two-timing you. Otherwise...”
Suddenly, she tried to reveal a ferocious expression, but it merely made her look comical. “You should wait and see how I’ll ruin his career! I would have joined the forces of his anti-fans from this moment onward.”
At that point, Cindy couldn’t contain herself and burst out in laughter. “Okay! I can sense your love for me. Go and take a seat over there to watch some TV shows. Dinner will be ready in a short while.”
Naomi responded with a haughty grunt before she turned around to walk into the living room.
However, before Cindy was done with the first dish, Ian had already arrived home.
He was slightly surprised to see Naomi there as soon as he walked through the door. Nonetheless, he nodded at her. “Hi there, were you around the whole day?”
Her initial intention was to show her displeasure toward him, but she ended up recalling Aurora’s words from the earlier phone call. So, she merely pursed her lips and softened her expression. “Yup.”
Meanwhile, Cindy rushed out of the kitchen. “Hey, you’re back. How was everything? What did the company decide to do?”
Then, Ian entered the kitchen to check on the dishes for dinner before calmly replying, “I’ve been in contact with the magazine editor. I’ll release a press statement at the same time as Yulia later, but we’re not sure about the overall impact of this incident. I’m rather sure that someone is behind all of this, so I’m not sure what else they can come up with.”
Cindy then furrowed her brows. “Do you have an idea of who could be behind this?”
He shook his head. “I don’t know. It could be anyone.”
She considered his words for a moment before she finally had no choice but to nod her head.
In fact, as Ian had been quite flashy in the past when he was in the singing industry, he had made a lot of enemies. Furthermore, he had also accepted the offer to star in an extremely popular TV drama, so there would have been many rivals who felt threatened.
There was only that much cake to go around, so if there were more people who wanted a share, the situation would be further complicated with regard to the interests of each party involved.
Hence, the mastermind could be anyone at all.
At this moment, Cindy signaled for Ian to wait outside. “The food will be ready shortly. I’m sure you haven’t eaten yet. Wash your hands and let’s have dinner together.”
He stayed in the kitchen for a while before walking to the living room. As soon as he arrived at the couch, Naomi asked, “What did you have to discuss with Yulia today? From the photos, you guys looked quite engrossed in the conversation.”
