Chapter 1400
No matter what they were thinking about, they wouldn’t show it on their faces, so at least they weretreating Ian politely. Cindy waited for Ian to get his makeup done before handing him his outfit. Afterthat, she found herself a spot in the room and sat down in silence, keeping her presence unnoticeable.However, she kept an eye on Ian so that she would immediately notice if anything happened on hisend, which was a habit of hers. novelbin
Whenever Ian was at a filming set, other celebrities would greet him to engage in a conversation withhim despite the fact that they weren’t well-acquainted with each other. However, nobody spoke to himthat day, as all of the other guest celebrities seemed to be busy with their own stuff. In effect, it madethe dressing room eerily quiet.
After mulling over the situation, Cindy figured it was probably because of the scandal on the Internetthat had been spread on the previous day. Ian was currently under the limelight after pulling the rug outfrom under Sena by using the two clips, which naturally stirred up fear within his colleagues.
In the past, some might approach Ian in order to direct some of the attention that Ian received ontothem, but they came to realize that Ian wasn’t someone to be trifled with. They also saw him assomewhat conniving, figuring they should leave him alone unless the circumstances were otherwise.Thus, Ian was essentially being ostracized, judging by the current situation.
Cindy knew Ian well enough to know he wouldn’t care about it. In fact, he might even think that it wasfor the best, as associating himself with less people meant less trouble. If it wasn’t for his mentality,Cindy would most probably feel sorry for Ian.
After a while, the shoot was about to begin, so the guest celebrities filed out of the room, leaving their
assistants behind, with Cindy being one of them. These assistants, however, were just like theircelebrity partners—they were ostracizing Cindy as well. To a certain extent, Cindy was similar to Ian asneither of them liked being in the entertainment industry, nor did they like socializing with people withinthe industry. Therefore, the situation at that point was actually to her benefit, as she could avoidengaging in pretentious conversations.
Cindy took out her phone to check on the news online, only to see that the netizens were humiliatingSena the same way they did Ian, whereas Sena had remained silent ever since her lie was exposed.She didn’t even give an explanation, but Cindy figured that Sena didn’t know how she should explainher behavior either.
Although Sena’s statement was ambiguous at best, most of the public were aware of its underlyingimplications to blackmail Ian. Now that Ian’s agency had released the recording, she would have a hardtime clearing her name. Cindy was no longer interested in reading through the harsh words that thenetizens used to insult Sena. While she didn’t like Sena, nor did she like plowing through the vulgarcontent either.
Therefore, she only updated herself regarding the general development of the situation. Meanwhile,Sena’s fans were protective of her, whereas some were hurling insults at Ian, deeming him as unworthyof Sena even if they were a pretend-couple.
However, Cindy believed that some of the self-proclaimed fans were in fact trying to further tarnishSena’s reputation by making her fanbase look bad. Just like what Ian said, as far as being a celebritywould go, it was essentially a job, so Cindy didn’t understand why things would wound up being socomplicated.
In the end, she put her phone away before leaning back in her chair, waiting for time to pass as therewas nothing else to do. The rest of the assistants were chatting amicably with each other, but none ofthem spared a glance at Cindy. She was obviously being ostracized, which was a situation that wouldmake anybody uncomfortable.
After some time, Hannah gave her a call, so Cindy left the room to answer the call. Hannah predictedthat Ian’s upcoming shooting sessions might not go as smoothly, so she reminded Cindy to be morecareful.
