The girl said nothing. She merely turned around and walked away with the bottle of water in embarrassment.
It was just a short episode. Even if someone did see it, they probably wouldn’t think much about it. However, Ian snorted. Looks like someone’s popular. I should have recorded it and shown it to Cindy. He’s a f*ckboy. Their so-called club is probably filled with his fangirls.
The guys rested for a while and went back to the game.
Ian was still trying to see if anything else might happen, but Logan was already calling him. He asked Ian when he would be coming over and told him that Sophia was almost done preparing.
Ian didn’t realize how long he had been sitting there. Now that Logan reminded him, he took a look at the time. Whoa, I’m running late. He told Logan, “I’ll be ready in a minute. We might be late, so you guys go first.” He hung up and quickly went back to his place.
Aurora had already come out of her room. When she saw that Cindy wasn’t on the couch, she smiled. They still need me. She went to wash her face. Since there was an appointment that night, she changed into the clothes she just bought and put some makeup on. She even styled her hair.
When she was done dressing up, she heard someone opening the door. It surprised her, but she went out nonetheless. Once she saw that it was Ian, she frowned. “Oh, you weren’t in your room?” Well, that’s a waste. I thought they were both in the room. That’d help their relationship a bit if it were true.
Ian looked at her and smiled. “I see you’re done.”
“Yes.” Now that she didn’t have to worry about disturbing anyone anymore, she went to knock on the door of Ian’s room.
Cindy woke up groggily. When she saw where she was, she was dumbfounded. I remember sleeping on the couch, so why am I here? She sat up and looked around. It didn’t take long for her to understand what was going on. Aurora wouldn’t care about this, so it must have been Ian. He brought me in. She covered her face, which was turning red.
Aurora was still knocking on the door, telling her to wake up and get prepared for the dinner.
Cindy looked at the time. Oh right. We have to go for dinner tonight. She got out of bed and opened the door. “Right away.” Then, she went to wash her face in the bathroom.
Aurora went to the couch and took the dress she bought for Cindy that morning. “Put some makeup on and wear this,” she said while walking toward the bathroom.
Cindy paused and turned around. “Um, it’s just a casual dinner, right?”
Aurora clicked her tongue. “It doesn’t matter. Always dress up and be pretty.”
Cindy frowned. She stared at the bags and hesitated for only a moment before nodding. “Sure.” She had realized a few things when she was purchasing the clothes—some things should be done when she was still young.
Cindy then went into the room to put on the dress and did her makeup in the living room. For some reason, she couldn’t even look at Ian when she did that.
Ian was leaning against the couch, his arms crossed. He was staring at Aurora and Cindy, thinking to himself, They’re getting along really well. Most of the time, they are firing off at me. Both of them. But it was fine for him. He liked that feeling.
Finally, Cindy wore her heels and spun around. “What do you think?”
Aurora didn’t say anything and turned to Ian instead. “What do you think, Ian? I picked this. I think she looks great in it.”

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...
