Ian straightened his room for a bit. When he came out a while later, Cindy was already done cookingbreakfast, so he went over to the dining table. As he sat down, he said, “I’ll help you clean when wecome back later. Leave all the heavy work to me.” Ian straightened his room for a bit. When he came out a while later, Cindy was already done cookingbreakfast, so he went over to the dining table. As he sat down, he said, “I’ll help you clean when wecome back later. Leave all the heavy work to me.”
Cindy gave a bark of laughter. “There’s no heavy work. This house has been kept very clean in the firstplace, so I only need to arrange everything.”
At this, Ian chuckled as well. “I’ll handle all the large furniture and appliances. I’ll feel bad if you don’tallow me to do anything.”
Cindy looked at him. “You’ve already paid me, so why would you feel bad?”
All at once, Ian burst into laughter. “I’ve always wanted to ask you this question—are you that strappedfor cash?”
Cindy nodded seriously. “Yes, I’m that strapped for cash. It’s too bad that I’m not valuable, else I’d evenwant to sell myself off.”
Cindy and Ian then left for a show. While their scandal had abated on the Internet, they were stilltargets of criticism when they went out and faced others. It was better for Ian since no one dared tooutright point fingers at him before his face, but it was different for Cindy. Many people felt that she wasonly dating Ian because of some twist of luck, so they regarded her with hostility out of either jealousy
or abhorrence. By now, Cindy was used to it, so every time she was confronted with these gazes thatdiscomfited her, her bank balance flashed in her mind. At the thought of money, all gloom dissipated.
This time, Ian was singing the finale for a show, so it was just the span of a song’s length and theirwork would be over in 10 or 20 minutes. Cindy waited for him backstage while scrolling through thenews on the Internet on her cell phone alone. The entertainment industry suffered no lack of gossip, sowhen news of her and Ian had subsided, another news naturally took its place.
Currently topping the search engine was news of a particular lady inserting herself into a particulardirector’s marriage. There were still plenty who condemned the lady since many were timid in real life,so they could only unleash their wrath on the Internet. She inadvertently glimpsed some of thecomments, only to see that they were even more vicious than the censure against her and Ian backthen. When she saw those comments, she heaved a sigh. I wonder if these people would dare to be soruthless when they encounter something they loathed in real life.
Putting her cell phone away, she leaned against the window and let out a sigh again. Before she’d evenfinished sighing, someone spoke beside her. “It’s you?”
Startled, Cindy turned and looked over. What a coincidence! It’s the assistant who previously asked mehow I bagged Ian. Straightening, she asked, “You’re also here today?”
The assistant nodded. “Did you just arrive? My celebrity is already done.”
Cindy murmured an acknowledgment. “Why aren’t you with him if he’s done?” novelbin
The assistant curled her lips. “My handsome celebrity is in his dressing room. There’s a senior celebrity
there who wants to chat with him, and he even ordered me to wait outside. I just wonder what they’retalking about that’s so secretive.”
Cindy’s brows furrowed, her wariness ever present. Since she wasn’t quite certain which celebrity thisassistant worked for, she questioned, “Is your celebrity newly debuted?”
The assistant blinked. “It has been over a year.”
Cindy couldn’t outright ask about the celebrity’s status, so she could only remind that assistant tactfullyby telling her, “Be careful that you’re not set up by others as Ian once was.”
The assistant promptly giggled. “It probably won’t happen. Everyone is still scared since your celebrity’smatter went out of hand. So, who would still dare to take the risk of doing such a thing? After all, theperson won’t be able to stay in the entertainment industry anymore if he’s found out.”
Cindy hesitated slightly. Her celebrity has debuted for more than a year, so he probably guards againstsuch a thing. Thus, she nodded. “Hmm, you’re right.”
The assistant stood there with her for a good while, chatting about their usual work. Since her celebrityhad a rather free schedule, the assistant didn’t have much work. Thus, she had it relatively easier.
