Female Novel
Chapter 1585
As she was showering, she thought about how she should tell Hannah about this.
Since things had gotten to this stage with Ian, there was no way she could stay by his side andcontinue being his assistant.
However, there was one thing that was all the more troubling—they’d announced themselves as anofficial couple to the public.
Moreover, the agency was planning to take part in some dating-themed variety shows in the nearfuture.
She was worried that rumors regarding complications in their relationship would arise if she refused toparticipate in them.
Ian was quite a hot topic on the news as of late, so it’d leave a bad mark on his reputation if she wereto stir up any trouble on her side as well.
Leaving their arguments aside, none of them ever wanted to ruin each other’s career.
As Cindy stepped out of the shower, she picked up her phone and realized the phone call she’d missedearlier was from Naomi.
Cindy exited her call log after taking a glance at it without calling her friend back.
She didn’t feel like talking to Naomi at the moment as well; she wasn’t good at hiding things, especiallyfrom people who she had a close relationship with. It was very likely that she wouldn’t be able to hold in
her emotions if she were to face Naomi now.
Cindy took a short breather and sent Hannah a text message.
She didn’t directly mention what happened between her and Ian; she simply asked Hannah how theyshould solve the situation online.
Since Ian was in a difficult spot right now, they had to solve one problem at a time.
After taking care of that, they could then think of how to go about the matter between her and Ian.
Right away, Hannah called her back. She was unaware of what happened between Cindy and Ian, soshe only thought that Cindy was sick and tired of seeing the chaotic comments online.
Thus, she endlessly consoled Cindy on the phone, asking the latter not to panic and telling her that theagency was contacting the media nonstop and doing all they could to turn the tide.
Cindy mindlessly raked her fingers through her hair and began to look for excuses. “Things are in sucha mess online and my family have already found out about it as well. They keep calling me and askingme what happened, but I can’t tell them either. They want me to go home to avoid the drama and onlycome back to it when things begin to calm down.”
Sure enough, Hannah could understand why she would say that.
She let out a sigh and said, “Yes, yes. All of us can understand how your family feels, since it’s normalto panic in the face of something like this. How about this? We’ve temporarily put all of Ian’s scheduleson a halt anyway, so there won’t be much going on for you. Why don’t you go home and spend time
with your family for now? I’ll let you know when things are getting better, and we’ll resume work asusual then. What do you think?”
Hannah added after that, “Regarding your salary, I’ll put you on paid leave, so don’t worry about it.” novelbin
To Cindy, Hannah’s idea wasn’t too bad of a suggestion. What she needed most at this time was tokeep her distance from Ian.
She didn’t want to see him, and he probably didn’t want to see her either.
Cindy agreed and said, “I won’t be showing up in the meantime, then.”
In fact, Hannah didn’t need Cindy to come forward to help with anything for the time being. She gaveher some words of comfort and asked her to take good care of herself, telling her that there was noneed to take the problems online personally since they would be solved either way.
Cindy had been on quite a few phone calls throughout the day, so she swiftly turned off her phone afterhanging up and went to lie down on her bed.
It was getting late, but she couldn’t fall asleep at all.
Now that things had quietened down around her, she finally had time to look back on what happenedwith Ian today.
That man was definitely crazy—he wouldn’t have done such a thing to her otherwise.
In the silence, her fingers couldn’t help but move up to her lips. Even though it wasn’t quite right to feel
that way, her face heated up uncontrollably.
F*ck, I can’t believe we actually kissed.
That jerk was probably out of his mind. Cindy was sure that Ian wouldn’t have done anything like that ifhe was completely sober.
She replayed her argument with Ian in her head from start to finish. In truth, it wasn’t an intense fight atall. Ian was simply not too happy with what she said, while she felt humiliated by his words in return.Thus, as they got carried away in the heat of the moment, things somehow ended up as they were
