Female Novel
Chapter 1394
The driver heaved a sigh. “It’s all because of his fame. I hope he’ll be able to overcome this, as life withhim is comfortable. I don’t want to work with other celebrities.”
Cindy couldn’t help but agree with him. Although she only ever worked under Ian, she could appreciatethat Ian was more of a taciturn character who didn’t give her much trouble, which made her life somuch easier.
When filming at other sets, she used to see how the other assistants were being criticized and chidedconstantly, so she knew she had it easy in comparison. Therefore, she wished that Ian would thrivewithin the industry so that she could remain with him. Besides, she still owed Ian money, so she didn’twant anything bad to befall him.
Meanwhile, the driver was also feeling slightly dejected upon knowing that things weren’t settled yet.After ending the call, Cindy turned to cast Ian a glance, only to find him retaining his stoic attitude. Infact, he was so unfazed that Cindy was worried about him.
It wasn’t until afternoon that Hannah called Ian. As the call was for Ian, she didn’t dare listen in on theirconversation, so she watched him from the side. However, Ian kept a poker face throughout the call, soit was nigh impossible for her to even guess what he heard over the phone by observing his facialexpressions.
The call didn’t last long, as Ian hung up after a while, putting his phone away. Upon seeing that, Cindyasked, “Is the call from Ms. Jones? What did she say?”
Ian recalled their conversation before relaying the message. “She said we should take some time off.
While the scandal hasn't had much of an impact, there are too many paparazzi out there now, so weneed to keep a low profile.”
Nodding, Cindy queried, “Did she tell you how the scandal will be handled?”
Glancing at Cindy, Ian asked, “Why do you sound so afraid? Even if things go awry, I’ll be the onewho’ll be bearing the brunt of it, so it won’t affect you.”
In a low voice, Cindy said while pouting, “I still owe you money though.”
Although not that appropriate considering the circumstances, Ian couldn’t help but laugh. “I won’t begoing down that soon, so in the least, you’ll still be working with me next month, while I’ll still be able todeduct the money from your paycheck.”
Without a word, Cindy hung her head low in grief. In the meantime, Ian was planning to return to hisroom when his phone rang, which he realized was a call from Logan upon checking the caller ID.Judging from the fact that Logan went out of his way to read the articles online, he figured that Loganwas in good spirits. Picking up the call, he greeted Logan.
But as soon as he did, Logan began wailing. “Ian, what happened? There are a lot of people criticizingyou online for cheating on your girlfriend when you don’t even have one! How dare those f*ckerscriticize you when they don’t know sh*t about you? Are you finding it difficult to open up about thetruth? Why don’t I hire some trolls to teach those people a lesson? Don’t be scared! Tell me everythingso that I can solve this for you! I’ll definitely give them a taste of their own medicine!” novelbin
Smiling, Ian chided jokingly, “You need to calm down. I can handle this on my own, so you should focusyour attention on your wife and baby instead of worrying about me.”
As soon as Logan heard that, he was riled up. “Are they finding fault with you because they thinknobody has your back? I was reading the sh*t that people are spouting online. They’re literally steppingon you to rise in the ranks! I’ll have Lorraine teach them a lesson tomorrow! Don’t you worry! I’ll makesure they get what they deserve!”
Warmth coursed through Ian’s heart when he heard what Logan said. Throughout the years, Loganwas always the first to stand up for him no matter what happened. With a smile on his face, Ianconsoled, “It’s alright. This isn’t anything serious, so you should just stay put. I can handle this. If amajor slip up happens in the future, I’ll make sure to come look for you.”
However, Logan didn’t care if it wasn’t a major slip up, as he couldn’t stand anybody messing with Ian.His tone frigid, he said, “I’ll gladly solve even the tiniest of incidents for you, as messing with youmeans crossing me! I’ll make sure whoever did this pays for their actions!”
Ian couldn’t help but smile gently at Logan’s words.
