Ian was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, reading through the articles regarding his scandal with
bemusement. Upon seeing him, Cindy quickly explained, “Ms. Jones will be handling the scandal, and we have proof
with us, so we have nothing to be afraid of.”
Smiling, Ian replied, “I’m not afraid. Instead, I find this whole thing amusing.”
Cindy heaved a sigh. “Ms. Jones told me that the entertainment industry is complicated as heck, so she wanted me
to be on alert at all times. I used to think that I was being overly cautious, but such precautions really are
warranted.”
Switching off his phone, Ian stood up. “Alright, it’s time for breakfast. Let’s not think about these.”
After finishing their breakfast in the hall, Ian checked his phone again. Hannah had yet to clarify the confusion, so
Ian’s silence was being perceived as him yielding to the situation as the scandal garnered even more attention.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other hand, Sena’s agency made a statement some time ago, but with how vague it was, it didn’t sound like
an explanation. All it wrote was that they wished her fans would focus on her works instead of uncovering parts of
her private life which she wished to be kept out of sight. The manner in which the statement was written sounded
like an acquiescence.
After checking on the internet, Cindy was updated on the recent development of the incident, as well as Sena’s
response. Smacking her lips, she remarked, “I don’t think that’s the best way to word it. I wonder what she had in
mind.”
Meanwhile, Ian merely chuckled dryly, as he figured Sena’s reaction was in fact quite expected. The other guest
celebrities had yet to arrive at the dressing room when they were rehearsing in private, so not a lot of people knew
that Sena and him were inside. Therefore, he wouldn’t believe for a second that Sena’s agency wasn’t behind the
scandal.
Sena was considered as a skilled singer, but her name was relatively unheard of despite having made her debut
years ago.
Although her agency had tried to pair her up with someone before this, they didn’t receive a lot of attention, so Ian
figured they had planned to use him as a jumping board this time. Cindy put down her phone while looking toward
Ian. “So should we be following our schedule, or should we wait for Ms. Jones’ instructions?” Checking the time, Ian
figured that they still had time. “We’re not in a hurry, so let’s wait for a moment.” Letting out a hum, Cindy went to
sit down on the sofa that was further away from Ian. Soon enough, Hannah gave Ian a call to inform him that he
was to stay in the hotel. He was barred from leaving the place because the media already caught wind of the
scandal, and were awaiting his arrival at the filming set. Hannah also told Ian to not make any form of response
online, while she would decide on their next course of action after handling matters. With more than twenty years
of experience, handling a scandal like that was child’s play for Hannah, so Ian agreed to her conditions, trusting that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe would settle things. After ending the call, Ian turned around to look at Cindy. “You can go get some rest. I don’t
think we’ll be going anywhere today.” Unmoving, Cindy pulled her lips into a thin line before thanking him, “I had
received the money last night. Thank you.” Without a word, he walked back into his room, whereas Cindy finished
her breakfast before cleaning up the place, going back to her own room after that. While Ian wasn’t doing much of
anything, Cindy lay in bed while following the development of the scandal online. Ian mentioned that he had a
girlfriend when he was competing in the talent show. Although he never mentioned her again, neither did he
mention that they broke up, so the public assumed that they were still together. Therefore, the dressing room
scandal wasn’t merely a scandal involving another female celebrity, but it also painted him as a man cheating on
his girlfriend. While there were a lot of people who began criticizing him as being unworthy of being a celebrity due
to his arrogance and immorality after rising in fame, there were also a lot of his fans who were defending him. In
effect, it created a mess that gave Cindy a headache. .
