Cindy also made a promise to Hannah that she wouldn’t fall for anyone within the industry, as she wasdisinterested in both the celebrities and the industry itself. Retrieving a bottle of water, she chugged itdown before curling up in her bed.
She was certain that she didn’t like Ian, as her reason for staying by his side was because he was easyto handle. Heaving a sigh, Cindy reminded herself that neither did Ian fancy her, so she should stopimagining things. Thereafter, she shut her eyes before willing herself to fall asleep.
Her sleep wasn’t peaceful, so she woke up in a haggard state. However, she quickly freshened up sothat she looked better before going to buy breakfast. She thought the paparazzi would’ve dispersed bythe next morning, but those thoughts were proven to be wishful thinking. Upon stepping out of thehotel, she could see them still standing across the street with their cameras ready.
Meanwhile, the paparazzi had also come to recognize her. Seemingly in dire need of some gossip, theyimmediately began taking pictures of her as soon as she came out. With a frown, she quickly left to buybreakfast without a word, whereas the paparazzi waited at the entrance of the hotel, rushing over to heras soon as she returned.
All cameras were aimed at her, and someone even passed a mic over. They bombarded her with allsorts of questions regarding Ian’s whereabouts and his relationship status, as well as her opinion onthe scandal.
It was the first time ever in Cindy’s life that she was put in such a position. In the past, the medias’attention had always been on Ian no matter what happened, but they seemed to be in such dire needthat they decided to direct their attention toward her.
With all of the paparazzi closing in on her in front of the hotel, Cindy almost yelped in fear while tryingto get away from them. Fortunately, there were a few guards stationed at the lobby, who seemed tohave dealt with similar situations prior to that, as they quickly made their way toward Cindy upon layingeyes on the crowd in front of the hotel.
Grasping onto one of the guards, Cindy begged, “Please, help me! They’re all paparazzi!”
The guard with a sturdy build wore a frown as soon as he heard what she told him. Stepping forward,he bellowed at the paparazzi who were gathered at the entrance, “What do you think you are doing?Get out of the way! You’d better behave, or else I’ll call the cops!”
All the paparazzi wanted was gossip, not trouble, so they halted as soon as the guard stepped in.Meanwhile, Cindy seized the opening to enter the hotel, but not without first thanking the guards beforeshe hurried to the elevators.
When she knocked on Ian’s door, he was already finished with washing up. Upon noticing that she waspanting when he opened the door, he was startled. “What’s going on?”
Cindy closed the door behind her before stopping to catch her breath. “There are a lot of paparazzi infront of the hotel who crowded in on me as they couldn’t catch you. They gave me such a fright!”
Ian burst into laughter. “I see now. They sure work hard at their job.” novelbin
Pacing over, Cindy put the food down on the table. “I suppose they’re all trying to get a scoop about the
scandal, but to be honest, what use is there in interviewing you? What do they even expect to hearfrom you?”
Ian sat down by the table before explaining, “They must be from tabloids who couldn’t get their handson important news, nor were they able to secure exclusive interviews with agencies, which is why theyhad to resort to waiting in front of the hotel.”
Heaving a sigh, Cindy said, “But what they do annoys me.”
Ian wore a faint smile before commenting, “There are a lot more other things that can be potentiallyannoying. Compared to those, this is nothing.”
Both of them were munching on their food when Hannah gave Ian a call to ask if he was faced with anyproblems, by which she specifically meant problems with the paparazzi. Calmly, Ian replied, “There isn’treally a problem.”
Ian could always keep his cool no matter what happened, which was the main reason that Hannahliked him. She informed him about the arrangements made regarding the filming schedule for thevariety show they missed out on last night. Aside from that, she also told him to speak up if he had anyrequests.
