Ian shook his head. “Don’t say anything for now. I’ve talked to the company earlier, but we’re afraid that some people would create more topics if you were to come forward. Let’s wait and see since the situation now is in our favor.”
Seeing that the situation had become more favorable, Naomi felt relieved. She glanced at the time before she rose to her full height. “Alright, then. I’ll make a move if there’s nothing else. Jeez, this girl really makes me worry.”
Cindy chuckled and she rose as well to hug Naomi’s arm. “I’m fine. I’ve always been quite fortunate. Rest assured and don’t be worried about me.”
Naomi sighed. “Silly girl, how are you going to defeat others if you join the entertainment circle?”
In fact, what Naomi said was true and Cindy was well aware of her own capabilities. As Ian’s assistant, she sometimes couldn’t make head or tail and now that he had dragged her into the industry, she wouldn’t be able to defeat anyone from the industry.
Cindy walked Naomi out of the door. Ian had intended to rise to his full height and follow along, but Naomi stopped him. “Cindy can show me out since the entrance of the neighborhood isn’t that far. You should stay and chill with Mrs. Morgan.”
Upon hearing her words, he understood that she probably would like to have a few words with Cindy in private. Therefore, he didn’t persist. After bidding her goodbye, he returned to take a seat on the couch while Cindy and Naomi had a brief chat downstairs.
Cindy, in fact, had long known what Naomi wanted to tell her—Naomi wanted her to be more mindful when it came to matters that involved Ian. Naomi really cares for me, she thought. She hugged Naomi and mumbled in a cute voice, “I always know that you treat me the best.”
Naomi stroked Cindy’s hair. “You are such an idiot by being too honest and not on guard against anyone. Listen, after today’s incident, you have to be more mindful of Ian. Do you understand?”
“Okay, I understand.” Cindy nodded meekly. “I will be more alert in the future.”
Yet, Naomi sighed. “I know that although you are promising me without any hesitation, it’ll be difficult for you to do it.”
Upon hearing that, Cindy chuckled and remained silent.
After casting a glance at the neighborhood, Naomi said, “Alright. It’s getting dark. You should head back. Don’t let the mother and son talk about you behind your back.” She then added, “Speaking of which, in regards to the netizen who claimed that he wanted to search for the security footage, you have to pay more attention to this matter. Keep watch on whether the security footage is found and check if the footage conforms to what Ian has said. You have to be careful in case Mrs. Morgan has lied to help him.”
“Roger that.” Cindy hummed in agreement. “I understand.”
At this moment, a cab happened to pass by the gates and she raised her hand to hail the cab. After Naomi entered the vehicle, Cindy spoke through the car window, “Give me a call when you arrive at the hotel.”
Naomi merely waved in response before the cab sped off. It was only when the cab had disappeared from Cindy’s sight that her smile disappeared.
I barely had a few calm, peaceful days before all the mess is back again. Before this, I thought that I had a comfortable time around Ian, but now that I look at it, there are still its ups and downs. She then had a long, deep sigh. I wish that I can become rich as soon as possible so that I can resign from my job and have a carefree life, she mumbled inwardly before heading back a moment later.
When Cindy arrived home, Aurora had already left and Ian wasn’t in the living room. He probably was in his room since the door was shut.
Cindy surveyed the area and failed to find something to do, so she quickly went to wash up before she returned to her room. As there hadn’t been any movement outside the door the entire time, she reckoned that Ian hadn’t left his room. Since she was unable to fall asleep, she took her phone out again.
As a matter of fact, Yulia had made a mistake this time. Her statement that was posted moments after Cindy had caused the netizens to leave dreadful comments—where almost all of them addressed Yulia as a pretentious b*tch.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
