Chapter 1588
As Naomi had no idea what happened between her and Ian, Cindy decided to act as though nothinghappened and ask casually, “What is it? I was away from my phone yesterday because I had aheadache and went to bed early.”
Naomi sighed. “It’s a good thing that you didn’t check your phone. All sorts of rumors are on theInternet now. I don’t have anything important to tell you, actually, and I just called to check on youbecause I was worried that you might be affected by the news on the Internet.”
Judging from her words, Cindy reckoned that some negative news about Ian must have surfaced onthe Internet again. Instead of asking, she merely chuckled. “It’s okay, I’m feeling rather good, actually.In fact, I rarely check the Internet nowadays. There’s no need to create a bad day for myself, really.”
Chuckling at her words, Naomi then said, “You have a really high level of ideological consciousness,Cindy. With such a carefree mindset, you’ll definitely live a long life.”
Cindy nodded in agreement. “The first thing to do in order to live a long life is to quit the entertainmentindustry.”
“That’s true,” Naomi agreed after some thought. “Usually, people with a weak personality often findthemselves tortured in the entertainment industry.”

Since Cindy didn’t read the newsonline, she thought that it would be better if she didn’t bring up those things. Speaking about her job,she told Cindy that she had completed her task rather well on her business trip this time, and hersuperior was very pleased with her. If everything went smoothly, she might be able to be a team leaderafter the year-end review.

In contrast, Cindy was doing something completely unrelated to heroriginal profession.
However, Naomi knew nothing about her disgruntlement, and she giggled happily. “Oh, shut it. Youhave no idea how many people are envious of you. Although you gave up your initial profession, you’releading a much better life than any of us now. I would like to find a guy like Ian who could support mefinancially, and I would be more than willing to give up my current job.”
See? Cindy thought. Everyone can only see how well others are doing, but not their problems.Sometimes, it’s really hard to compare some things. She sighed silently and said, “I hope that you’ll findyour ideal man soon.”
“Thanks, and I hope that your words come true soon!” Naomi thanked her with a chuckle.
