Female Novel
Chapter 1417
Heaving a sigh, Cindy picked up speed. She chose to cook some simple dishes, so she was all finishedwithin an hour. After serving the meal on the table, she called out to the men. “It's time for dinner!”
The driver stood up first. “I could smell the aroma since long ago. I’m practically drooling by now!”
In the meantime, Cindy took off her apron before washing her hands, whereas Ian waited for her at hisspot after casting her a glance. It wasn't until she came back that they went to the dining table together.
They had to admit that Cindy was indeed a good cook, for the food she prepared was much better thanthe takeaways. Slowly, she drank the soup she boiled, which was warming and made her stomach feelbetter. She began eating after that, and she wasn’t in a hurry at all as she ate. In this aspect, she wasdifferent from Sophia.
Upon being reminded of Sophia, Ian also recalled that Sophia had a cheerful disposition, and that sherarely kept silent even when she ate. She would keep on talking while waving her hands around,sometimes even crossing her legs on the chair. In contrast, Cindy would sit quietly by the table. Takinga deep breath, Ian wondered what he was doing by comparing the two women, so he quickly avertedhis gaze.
On the other hand, the driver was delighted, all the while complimenting how tasty the food was. Lateron, he asked if she had a boyfriend out of sheer curiosity, to which she replied with a smile, “No, I don’thave one.”
Heaving a sigh, the driver lamented, “Why would a pretty woman like you not have a boyfriend? Areyou being too picky?”
Cindy chortled while reaching out for one of the dishes. “I’m not being picky, but I’m not reallyinterested in finding a boyfriend at the moment. Since I just graduated, I figured I should make sure thatI have a stable job and a secure source of income before I consider dating. Isn’t this the norm?”
Nodding, the driver went on to say, “That’s true, but I’m pretty certain that we are quite secure whileworking alongside Mr. Morgan, so you don’t have to worry about that. You’ll have to find a boyfriendone way or another, or else it will be a waste of your youth.”
Cindy chuckled before answering, “It makes sense.”
Now that they were on the topic, the driver turned to look at Ian. “Mr. Morgan, you should also findyourself a girlfriend. However, I suppose it won’t be easy now that you two are being marketed as acouple, as the public will accuse you of cheating on each other.”
After giving the situation some thought, Cindy had to agree with him, all the while wondering how longshe would have to be tied to Ian in such a manner. Without first separating from each other, neither ofthem could work on their romantic life, which could be slightly troublesome.
However, Cindy realized that on the flipside, she might not be able to find herself a boyfriend anywayconsidering that she had to pay for her brother’s university tuition fees. No man would want to date awoman who had obligations elsewhere. Meanwhile, Ian was a different case altogether. With his age,he should have a girlfriend by now.

After their meal, Cindy cleaned the table and did the dishes in the kitchen, which made Ian feel a littleuneasy that he wound up approaching her. “Let me do the dishes instead.”
“It’s fine,” Cindy said. “There aren’t a lot of them, so I can do this on my own.”
There was a momentary pause before Ian told her, “Since you were the one who cooked, I have to dosomething in return.”
Cindy couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “You paid for the ingredients, so that will do.” To her, it wasnatural that whoever paid for things would get to be exempted from other responsibilities.
In response, Ian pulled his lips into a thin line while checking on the kitchen to find that it was alreadypretty much cleaned up. Other than washing the dishes, there wasn’t anything else to be done, so heleft the kitchen hesitantly in the end.
He spent some time watching TV with the driver before the latter bid them goodbye, leaving Ian aloneon the sofa. After that, Cindy started preparing more ingredients, as she wanted to cook breakfast aswell the next morning. Despite having flipped through a few channels, Ian couldn’t stop himself fromrepeatedly glancing at the direction of the kitchen.
