Female Novel
Chapter 1598
Ian stared at Cindy for a long time before he spoke in a rather forced tone. “I was a little too rash lastnight, and I should have had a little more self-control. I’ve been too emotional the past couple of days.”
Cindy felt rather uneasy to hear him speak about the matter that occurred last night, but she went alongwith what he said. “I understand that you were in a bad mood, but what’s done is done. You can’t takeback these things.” She was referring to how Ian had mocked her about her relationship with Gary lastnight.
However, Ian had a different understanding of her words—he thought that she was affected because ofhow he had abruptly kissed her last night. Although it was normal for the other party to feeluncomfortable over such things, Ian felt rather unhappy when he interpreted Cindy’s words in such amanner. She’s not going to forgive me for this, then.
“What should I do, then? You can be honest with me. Perhaps I can provide you with somecompensation. Just tell me your rates,” Ian uttered after pressing his lips together and thinking for ashort while.
Cindy froze for a moment before she frowned. I knew it. To Ian, I’m just someone who can be boughtoff. Did he really just ask for my rates? This is ridiculous. Does he actually think this problem can besolved by money? Cindy’s voice was cold when she next spoke. “I don’t need you to pay me anything.You’ve already paid me for the deal between both of us, and we now have a regular employer-employee relationship. I just need you to pay me the necessary amount when I quit the job.”
In other words, Cindy was still planning to leave him. Ian had never been one to keep others by hisside. Furthermore, he knew that Cindy was a decisive woman. She wouldn’t hesitate or pretend to dothings that she didn’t enjoy. Things proceeded quickly when both parties were equally decisive—they
had already found themselves at a point of no return after exchanging a few sentences.
Ian nodded. “Okay. I’ll tell Hannah to find me a new assistant. However, I’m not sure if we can get rid ofthe relationship status that we have announced to the public right away. You might have to be a littlemore patient.”
Cindy was understanding toward this matter. I can’t play along for just a few months after I took such amassive sum of money from him, right? On top of that, Ian has been riding a wave of opportunitiesrecently, and his career would be impacted if we announced our break-up.
“I understand. The current arrangements will be maintained and you can just let me know if you needanything,” Cindy uttered with a nod. novelbin
Meanwhile, Aurora was in Cindy’s room, and her right eyelid kept twitching as she was anxious. Shehad already checked her phone a few times, but all she saw were the same, lousy headlines. Theredidn’t seem to be an end to all the scandals. After lowering her phone, Aurora walked over to get somefresh air by the window.
If it weren’t for the incident that occurred online, perhaps Cindy would’ve matched well with Ian. Aurorafelt like she was close to losing her mind whenever she thought about both of them. She had oftenthought that they were thoughtful and mature, but perhaps they were a bit too mature because theywere somehow very stubborn in certain matters.
Aurora stayed in the room for another half an hour before she heard the sound of the room doorsopening. She hastily ran over to find Ian changing his shoes by the entrance. She knew that he hadgone over to see Cindy, so she hurried over to question him. “How was it? How was the talk? Didn’tshe follow you home?”
Ian didn’t say a single word, and he just turned and headed to his room after changing his shoes.Judging by the look on his face, Aurora could guess what had happened. It seems like my twitchingeyelid was a premonition for this.
After a while, Aurora went to Ian’s door. She twisted the doorknob to find that the door had beenlocked. “What’s going on, Ian? Why did you lock the door? What happened between both of you?Come out and tell me about it,” she shouted while knocking on the door.
Ian eventually replied to her in a deep voice. “I’m tired. I want to sleep.”
She knocked on the door and questioned him a few more times, but he no longer said anything afterthat. After some contemplation, Aurora went into another room and pulled her phone out to give Cindya call. However, Cindy’s phone had been turned off.
