The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1884

Chapter 1884 Be Themselves

Before Linda could finish her words, the door was open just when Hannah and Aurora stepped out of the meeting room. As soon as they came out, they immediately recognized Linda and Cindy.

Aware of the drama that previously went on between Linda and Ian, Aurora paused and looked at Cindy. “Cindy, are you alright?”

While Aurora was worried that Cindy might be bullied, the latter kept herself together and replied, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

In the meantime, Hannah glared at Linda with a stern look that intimidated the latter. Then, she asked in a rigid tone, “What are you doing here?”

Knowing that Hannah was asking, Linda answered, “I just happened to pass by here.”

Hannah sized her up and replied, “You need to behave yourself, even though you don’t have a job to work on at the moment.”

While Linda licked her lips and expressed her acknowledgment, Hannah jutted her chin as a gesture to tell her to leave. However, not long after Linda took two steps forward, Hannah said, “Forget about whatever ‘bright ideas’ you have in your mind. You don’t want anything to go wrong, considering your current position. So, behave yourself.”

Linda paused in silence and walked away as Hannah turned her attention to Cindy and spoke with a gentle voice. “Come in, Cindy. Let’s talk.”

Upon nodding to Aurora, Cindy entered the meeting room as she was told. Deep down, she knew Hannah would treat her nicely because the latter wanted to keep her right after she revealed her intention to resign and find another job. After all, her association with Ian could jeopardize the man’s career if she made a wrong move.

As soon as they entered the meeting room, Hannah said, “I heard from Ian that you found a new job.”

Cindy replied with an affirmative hum and went to answer firmly, “Ian’s filming is about to begin, and I’m left with quite a lot of free time, so I’m thinking of doing something productive.”

Well, Hannah didn’t say that I couldn’t do what I liked. She is only just asking me about the subsequent jobs that Ian is going to take up and what my future plans are.

Hannah would have been angry if she was discussing the matter with some other assistant, but since there had been a lot on Ian’s plate lately, she could see why Cindy wanted to resign.

After all, Cindy put up with a lot of scolding because of the incident that revolved around Ian, not to mention her earlier visit to the Morgan Residence so that she could take care of the mess.

Knowing Cindy’s fixed pay wasn’t worth all the risk she was taking, Hannah knew she deserved to be compensated with more than just money, even though she did receive some monetary reward for her outstanding performance.

Besides that, Cindy had also become the netizens’ attack online due to the earlier incident, but Hannah reckoned her easy-going character might have kept her from following those negative comments.

Therefore, Hannah was still satisfied with Cindy’s performance, thinking it wasn’t necessary for Ian to get a new assistant, especially now that both of them were a ‘couple’. For that, she didn’t think replacing Ian’s assistant was a good idea.

Cindy pursed her lips and said, “I talked to Ian about this, and we’ll look into his schedule right after he returns from his filming. If it isn’t too packed, both of us can work on it and see how it goes. No matter how it plays out, the management can rest assured, knowing that the two of us will continue to work around his role.”

Hannah nodded. “Great. The management would love to keep your position while you will receive your pay as usual. Besides, you won’t need to be by Ian’s side all the time but must continue to act as his girlfriend for the time being.”

Meanwhile, Cindy understood what Hannah was referring to but didn’t appear to be concerned about acting as Ian’s girlfriend. After all, they would just be themselves. Thus, Cindy went ahead and told Hannah everything on her mind because there was nothing too complicated.
