Female Novel
Chapter 1387
Cindy opened her eyes slowly, but her mind was still muddled up. Heaving a sigh, the driver asked,“Why are you crying? What have you dreamed of?”
Running her hand across her face, Cindy realized it was full of tears, which she wiped away hastilyusing her shirt. “I had a scary nightmare, so thanks for waking me up.”
The driver didn’t think much of it while he chuckled. “To be frightened by your own nightmares... You’rea little girl after all.”
Smiling, Cindy said, “I didn’t realize I was dreaming until you woke me up.” After that, she looked out ofthe window while changing the topic. “Is Ian not finished yet?”
The driver hummed in response. “It’s only been half an hour, so I suppose it’ll take a while more.”
With a nod, Cindy took a deep breath to suppress the overflowing emotions within her, whereas thedriver leaned back into his seat with his hands on the steering wheel. “To be honest, I worked with a lotof celebrities, so I can in fact see that Ian is a little different from the rest of them.”
Startled, Cindy glanced at the driver. “How is he different? He’s the first ever celebrity whom I workedwith, so I don’t really have a point of reference.”
Smacking his lips, the driver elaborated, “I just have a feeling that he never seems happy. Thecelebrities whom I worked with seemed to enjoy making public appearances, but Ian is different in thesense that he is merely treating it as a job.”
Cindy didn’t quite get what he meant, but she chuckled nonetheless. “Being a celebrity is a professionin itself.”
In response to that, the driver shook his head, but didn’t dwell any further on the topic. On the otherhand, Cindy no longer felt like sleeping, so she took a peek at the filming set after getting out of the car.Seeing that Ian was still filming, Cindy waited at the entrance of the building. The weather today wasn’ttoo great, as it was overcast, looking to rain anytime soon. After a while, she took out her phone tomake a call, which was quickly answered by a woman. “Cindy.”
Cindy sounded a little cold when she hummed in response. “Give me some more time, as I no longerhave any money. For now, find someone who can lend you money, and I’ll send you the money assoon as I have some.”
There was a weak hum from the other side of the phone. “So when will you get the money? I have totell them when I will be able to return the money if I want to borrow from them.”
Cindy had reminded herself to be patient, but she couldn’t help but be riled up upon hearing what theother woman had to say, so she sounded even colder. “I don’t know when I will be able to get themoney, as I will also have to go borrow some. I already gave you every coin that I have, and the peoplearound me are all wary of me, so I don’t know when I will be able to get my hands on some money.”
Upon detecting that Cindy was in a bad mood, the woman on the other side of the phone reduced hervoice to a squeal. “Okay, you can send me the money as soon as you’ve got it. Mom will stop asking.”After that, the woman told her, “Take care of yourself out there. I’ll be hanging up now since phone callsare expensive.” novelbin
Without even giving a response, Cindy put her phone away after hanging up. She gave her chest a fewpunches to loosen herself up from feelings of grief. She had been working a job ever since shegraduated from university, and while it might not be the highest paying job out there, she was earningmoney. However, she didn’t get to save any money despite having worked so hard. On the contrary,she was indebted to a lot of people due to a certain individual who was ready to devour her with theirboundless greed whenever the opportunity arose.
Cindy stood at the entrance until the filming was done, during which it began raining. There wereumbrellas in the car, so the driver handed her two of them in a hurry, whereas she opened and heldone over Ian. Taking the umbrella into his hand, Ian said, “I can hold my own umbrella, so you don’thave to fuss over me.”
After that, he left for the car on his own, whereas Cindy followed suit after opening her own umbrella.Upon getting into the vehicle, they had to make their way to their next destination for a talk show. Dueto heavy rain, they had to go slow. Sitting in the car, Cindy took out her phone to go through her list ofcontacts, only to find that she no longer had anyone to turn to for money.
