Aurora picked up the glass next to her and said, "Drink. Why aren't you drinking? Come on, let's make a toast."
As she spoke, she directly clinked her glass against the man's and tipped her head back before chugging all the wine in the glass. The tipsy man didn't mind, so he followed suit and drank it all in one gulp. The two drunks raised their glasses at each other and gave out a hearty laugh.
Soon, the man could no longer stand still and plopped down on a chair. Meanwhile, several people next to him cheered and exclaimed, saying stuff along the lines of him being great. Nonetheless, Cindy saw through it since she noticed these people had something else mixed into their glasses just now. After scanning the room, she noticed several empty tubes of mustard on the dining table.
Fortunately, it was just a harmless prank as it would only be a little uncomfortable to drink them. However, if it were something else, Cindy would have called the police.
After downing the glass of wine, someone beside them swayed as he went over to get the bottle, seemingly wanting to fill up the glasses again.
Cindy quickly put down Aurora's glass and said to the people beside her, "When I arrived just now, I saw several paparazzi blocking the entrance. I don't know if they heard anything or if there are other celebrities here in this restaurant. If any of you are recognizable by the media, be careful when you leave."
As she spoke, she took out a mask from her pocket and put it on Aurora. "Did you wear a hat when you left the house earlier? Hurry up and cover yourself; those people might be coming after you."
At that moment, Aurora was so drunk that she couldn't even listen properly to what Cindy was saying.
However, some men were still sober, and as soon as they heard that the paparazzi were waiting at the entrance, a few of them immediately became alert and woke up the others. "Clean up this mess. What the hell is this? You look like a mess, so hurry up and put on your clothes properly."
As they spoke, someone even kicked a topless man lying on the couch unconsciously. Seeing that, Cindy took the chance and excused themselves, saying that she'd take Aurora away first in hopes of luring the paparazzi away. She didn't know the identities of these people drinking here tonight, but they seemed to be quite afraid of being caught by the paparazzi.
With that, those people let them go. Cindy quickly helped Aurora out of the private room and hurried downstairs. The cab she had come in earlier was still there, so Cindy helped Aurora into the vehicle and gave her address to the driver.
The driver probably didn't recognize them and laughed. "Miss, is this your friend? She's quite daring for drinking alone at a place like this."
"She initially came with a friend, but I'm sending her home first." Cindy didn't know how else to answer him.
"Thot's good, this isn't o good ploce to be." The driver nodded.

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...
