Female Novel
Chapter 1402
Ian wore a cold expression while pursing his lips, as he knew the driver was right. Turning around toadjust her position, Cindy wondered if she was being too sensitive, as she had a hunch that there mightbe something wrong between Ian and his girlfriend.
When they arrived at their next destination, Ian was still looking morose. Although he wasn’t a cheerfulguy to begin with, Cindy could detect that he was unhappy. His displeasure essentially meant that hewould be silent throughout the shooting process. When Cindy and Ian got to the lounge at the filmingset, the other guest celebrities who were in it also pretended to be busy to avoid socializing with Ian.However, he wasn’t in the mood to socialize either, as he even omitted the customary greeting.
His sour mood was apparent from the sulk on his face, but she figured the others might assume that hewas feeling upset because of the scandal. Therefore, Cindy did her best to keep a low profile while withIan as she didn’t want to make things even more difficult for him when he was already feeling down.
The shooting went smoothly, as Ian was now being feared due to the fact that he had overturned thescandal online. Although none of the guests wanted to approach him, nor were they about to get ontohis bad side. Not wanting to be associated with his scandal, they kept a moderate distance from him.
The production crew ordered takeaway for them during lunch. Under normal circumstances, everybodywould have lunch together in the lounge, but Ian was a little grumpy, so he left to eat in his car whilepulling Cindy behind him.
Cindy could easily imagine that the other guests would be criticizing him behind their back as beingarrogant, but she couldn’t bring herself to care, as life was too short for such mundane concerns.Meanwhile, the driver was astonished by their presence, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Did a fight breakout?”
Shaking her head, Cindy indicated to him that he should talk less for the day, so he obeyed despite notreally understanding the reason behind it. Ian didn’t have much of an appetite, as he put his lunchboxdown after just a few bites. Leaning against his seat, he seemed to be deep in thought, whereas bothCindy and the driver exchanged a glance as they sat in their respective seats before deciding to feignignorance.
After a while, Ian’s phone rang. Cindy checked on him through the rearview mirror to see him fishing forhis phone before staring at it with a frown. Although she didn’t know who the caller was, she had afeeling that it wasn’t anyone from the agency. novelbin
Sure enough, Ian picked up the call after getting out of the car. The call was from John, who read aboutthe news online just now. Almost insipidly, John asked over the connection, “Are you alright? It seemslike you’re just about settled though.”
Sniggering, Ian questioned, “Why would you suddenly care about me?”
John chuckled as well before explaining himself. “Why would I care about you? Sophia wanted to callyou, so I stepped in to stop her from contacting you.”
Well, he sure doesn’t mince his words. Ian said nothing, as he had nothing to say to John.
After a pause, John said, “It’s alright if you don’t want to talk, since I figured you should be alright. Ascandal like that is nothing in your industry, so you shouldn’t consider yourself a celebrity if you can’tsettle things on your own.” With that, he hung up before Ian could react.
Ian’s face was devoid of expression. Earlier, he was hesitating on whether he should tell John aboutSophia’s potential predicament as his so-called girlfriend. Although he never got to that point withSophia, he didn’t want to implicate her. However, John’s rudeness rendered Ian speechless, so hefigured he wouldn’t tell him. Instead, he would just take things one step at a time.
Meanwhile, back in the car, Cindy was taking a close look at Ian’s expression throughout the phonecall.
