Female Novel
Chapter 1453
Thanks to that, the comments turned out pretty positive, and some said they were a good match. Somesaid the news that went viral was fake, or Ian and Cindy wouldn’t have gone to play ball so easily.Others said they never realized Ian could be so hot, but after seeing him on the court, they realizedwhy he had so many female fans. All the comments were nice, and so far, there weren’t any negativeones popping up.
Cindy put the phone down and patted her chest. She was getting a bit jumpy because of the scandal.Every time something new popped up online, she was worried she might get insulted again. After that,she put her phone aside and went to bed, feeling much better.
It was tiring cheering so loudly earlier, so she drifted to sleep almost as soon as she lay down on thebed. She had a dream that night. And in that dream, she explained what happened in the waiting roomto everyone. Whatever she couldn’t say in reality, she said it all in her dream.
She said Linda started it first, and that Linda was the one who slapped the assistant, not her. But thepublic wouldn’t believe her. She almost exhausted herself with the explanation, but the cold, hardstares kept coming. Cindy was saddened, for she couldn’t understand why the public still went on awitch hunt even though she did nothing wrong.
The dream didn’t go on for too long, and it changed to another one later in the night.
But even after she woke up, she could still remember the first dream, and how she felt so helplessthen. She woke up feeling lethargic, but still she went to wash herself up. The moment she came out ofher room, however, she noticed that Ian was already ready for work. He was on the sofa, scrollingthrough his phone.
Shocked, Cindy looked at the time, noting that it was still early. He never wakes up this early. Sheforgot she was all unkempt, and she went over to ask, “Why did you wake up this early? Are your legshurt?”
Ian turned around and looked at her, half-amused, half-annoyed. “Do you really want them to get hurt?Just let it go, will you?” After a while, he continued, “Anyway, I’m fine. Hannah called me just now. It’sabout the news.”
Cindy got all frustrated again hearing that. “Again? For Pete’s sake, what is it this time? Can’t we get abreak?”
Ian smiled. “It’s good news this time. Go wash yourself up and we’ll talk about it later.”
Cindy looked at him, confused. Only then did she realize that her hair was unkempt, and she lookedterrible. A moment later, she went into the bathroom to wash herself up, brush her teeth, and comb herhair. It didn’t take her long to groom herself. Once she was done, she took her phone to see what washappening online. She and Ian were already on Trending for the last few days, so she had to payattention.
The latest search was still about Linda, but this time, Linda’s assistant was the one who made thestatement. Her statement was posted only a few hours earlier, which was late at night. Obviously, shestruggled to decide if she should post it, but in the end, she did.
The assistant recounted the events that took place in the waiting room, and she told everythinghonestly, including how Linda started the fight and yelled at everyone.
The assistant even posted a photo of her swollen face as evidence she got slapped, then she detailedhow Linda would abuse her every time she felt upset. She even said that Linda threatened her to keepthe truth about Ian and Cindy a secret. Since the assistant didn’t give her a firm answer, Linda wouldn’tlet her go, and she kept issuing verbal threats to the assistant.
Further down the post, the assistant said she was getting anxiety attacks and would get shocked byevery little thing. She even had insomnia and had to take pills if she wanted to get some sleep.
After the news went viral for the whole day, she couldn’t take it anymore, so she told everyone thetruth. If she didn’t, her conscience would keep knocking on her soul. The assistant even said that Cindystepped forth to protect her when Linda gave her that slap.novelbin
