After catching his breath for a while, Ian took his phone to see a call from Aurora. When his breath was finally even, he returned the call.
On the other hand, Aurora picked up the call in a blink of an eye and asked immediately, “Why didn’t you pick up just now?”
Ian clicked his tongue. “I didn’t notice just now. What’s wrong? Did anything happen?”
Aurora sighed. “Something happened. I wanted to ask if you guys are home so that I can go over.”
Ian turned around and glanced at Cindy. Right then, he knew that Cindy wouldn’t have any energy left in her to deal with Aurora.
If Aurora saw Cindy in this situation, she’d know what happened, even if he made up some excuses for what happened.
Since Cindy would get embarrassed easily, she wouldn’t be able to handle it if Aurora found out, so Ian rejected Aurora. “We are not at home right now since we’re both out. Can’t you tell me about it on the phone?”
Nevertheless, Aurora didn’t try to gauge if Ian was lying or telling the truth and went straight to the point instead. “It’s not really that important, though. Ms. Hannah gave me a call just now and told me that Yulia gave her some resources, so she wanted to hand me some and asked me to go to the company to have a chat with her.”
Ian was taken aback. “Yulia had a discussion with Hannah?”
Aurora hummed in agreement before she sighed lightly. “Ms. Hannah told me that Yulia introduced her to some excellent support and wanted to share them with me, but she suddenly asked if I knew Yulia personally over the phone just now.”
She didn't know what to reply to Hannah, as she didn't want to share what happened between Ian and Yulia. Since Hannah asked, it meant that Yulia didn't tell her the entire truth, so Aurora didn't dare to say anything.
Upon hearing that, Ian chuckled, as Yulia was too stubborn. She was so stubborn that he felt repulsed. Normally, a man would be somewhat touched if the woman was stubborn in a relationship, but all Ian felt was annoyance when it came to Yulia.
He felt objectified, and she was so shamelessly relentless that it was starting to obstruct his life. Still, Ian couldn't reject Yulia outright. She had dragged Hannah into this, and Hannah would surely notice that something was wrong if he refused Yulia crudely.
Not wanting to cause more problems, he told Aurora to go to the company to have a talk with Hannah.
“If Ms. Hannah really outsourced the resources to you, it would be fine for you to take it since it was given by the company instead of Yulia directly, so it’d be just like working for the company as usual. Nevertheless, if Ms. Hannah mentioned Yulia, you can reject her and tell her that you don’t think that you’ll be able to handle it.”
Aurora pondered for a moment and agreed. “I’ll go back to the company and see what’s going on. I’ll tell you about it after I talk to Ms. Hannah.”
“Alright.” Then, the call ended.
Initially, Ian was feeling tired and wanted to nap together with Cindy for a while. However, he was completely awake by the end of the call and lost all his urge to sleep.
Grabbing his coat, Ian headed to the living room before lighting his cigarette. While the smoke started swirling around him, he couldn’t help but recall when he met Yulia in the past.
Right then, Ian couldn’t tell if he remembered things wrongly, but he vaguely recalled meeting Yulia in a bar. Back then, Ian was a singer in a bar, and Yulia was probably a customer that had given him her name card after deciding that he was good at singing.
Still, he didn’t take her seriously and threw the name card after thanking her. He had received many name cards back when he was still a bar singer, and a lot of them claimed they were celebrity scouts that wanted to recruit him.
Nevertheless, Ian had no plans to enter the entertainment field as Aurora used to work in the entertainment field in the past, and he was happy with the freedom he had at that time.

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...
