Female Novel
Chapter 1487
Cindy then thought of Ian’s attitude that night—he had behaved as though she owed him money.
She did owe him some money before, but she had already paid him back.
Meanwhile, Ian was at home. The house was empty, nary a sound to be heard.
He hadn’t eaten anything at noon because he had zero appetite. When he returned home, he washedhimself up and headed straight to his room.
In truth, this wasn’t far off from his life before all this. Before Cindy came to live here, that was how hespent his days.
However, why did he feel a little uncomfortable even though he simply returned to his old routine?
Ian paced around his room for a while before he took out his phone. He then scrolled through hiscontacts, his gaze lingering on Cindy’s name for a moment before swiping away.
He ended up calling Logan. After all, he was the only one Ian could chat with now.
Logan was rather quick at answering his phone, and he was all smiles as he did so. “Hey Ian, youfinally got some time to yourself.”
Ian affirmed this before saying, “My schedules for the near future aren’t packed, so I have plenty oftime off.”
“Nice. Why work so hard when you’re this young? You got a long life ahead of you,” Logan said. He
then continued, “I’ve talked to Lorraine. She said that she can arrange for some resources, but from thelooks of it, you won’t be getting anything fancy. At most, you will be able to network a bit and get somepeople to remember your face. As for the future, you’ll definitely have to wait for your mother’sreputation to build up first, and only then Lorraine will be able to get you better resources.”
Ian nodded. “All right, I got it.”
He hadn’t called Logan today to ask about those resources; he just didn’t have anyone else to talk to.
Logan could sense that something was off with Ian’s tone. “What is it? It doesn’t sound like you’rehappy.”
“I’m not unhappy.” Ian let out a breath. “It’s boring when there’s nothing to do, so I just wanted to have achat with you.”
Logan whistled. “What about that assistant of yours? Isn’t she with you?”
Ian went quiet for a few seconds before he spoke again. “I gave her the day off.”
“No wonder you have the time to call me,” Logan said, a comprehending tone to his voice.
Ian felt like laughing then. “What are you saying? What, are you blaming me for leaving you out in thecold?”
“Nope.” Logan snorted. “You don’t usually call me when you have nothing to do. You must have beencosying up to that little assistant of yours.” Before Ian could answer, Logan continued to speak. “Whydid you give her the day off? Isn’t this a time when you two should be spending a saccharine timetogether? Why did you let her go?”
Ian pinched his forehead. “Did you forget that I said I gave her the day off? Don’t make it sound likethere’s something going on between us. Also, don’t just spout garbage the next time we meet. It’sembarrassing.”
“What’s so embarrassing about it?” Logan didn’t think much about it. “If you turn those fantasies intoreality, wouldn’t everything be resolved by then?”
Ian sucked in a breath, for he thought that Logan’s words didn’t make sense.
Logan was like an old father figure who was especially worried about Ian’s love life. Ever since Cindyshowed up in Ian’s life, Logan wished that Ian and Cindy would get together.
Meanwhile, after Cindy and Naomi had finished their dinner, they returned to their hotel room andstarted to play some games. After all, they used to play together back when they were students.
Naomi grinned. “I didn’t expect you to still be playing this. I haven’t touched the game in ages becauseof work, and I recently downloaded it again.”
Cindy opened the game and stared at the screen. “Me too. I haven’t played this game in forever. I onlyjust started playing again a few days ago.”
She saw that Ian was online as well.
Cindy stared at Ian’s profile picture for a bit, but in the end, she decided not to invite him to her party;she just acted like she hadn’t seen him.
She then formed a party with Naomi. However, since their skills were on the weaker side, they endedup losing both rounds they played.
Naomi smacked her forehead. “Trash back then, trash even now. Oh well, my reflexes are just terrible.” novelbin
