Ian waited until the car stopped, but instead of getting out of the car, he called out to Cindy, who was still sitting in
the passenger seat. “Come over here.”
Turning around to cast a glance at Ian, she instantly realized what he wanted to do, so she climbed through the
space between the driver and passenger seat to get to the back seat. After that, Ian got out of the car before
looking back at her with his hand reaching out. Although Cindy knew it was an act, her heart was still fluttering, and
she hesitated for a moment before finally putting her hand in his palm.
In fact, all Ian did was help her get out of the car. As soon as she was out, he retracted his hand before the two of
them entered the agency side-by-side. Hannah was already waiting when they got to the meeting room, but Cindy
wasn’t required to attend the meeting. When Ian entered the room, Cindy peeked inside while passing by, only to
see that there were a few other higher-ups in the room. She figured it made sense that they saw the need to call
for a meeting, considering the fact that they were experiencing such a major shake-up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCindy waited for Ian in the lounge with the driver by her side. While in there, the driver was checking on the latest
gossip and tutting from time to time. Although she was curious about the fans’ opinion of her, she decided to not
ask as she knew that she would crack easily under pressure.
After going through most of the comments, the driver put his phone away. “Cindy, the relationship between you and
Ian is currently the trending topic.”
There was some hesitation on her part before making a remark. “I suppose we’re the only ones who see this as a
big deal when it isn’t in fact anything of importance.”
The driver couldn’t agree more with her. “Yeah. It’s pointless to put so much emphasis on such a minor detail.
Everybody has their own life, and dating someone else isn’t something outrageous, so I don’t get why the fans are
so critical about it.”
Leaning back against her chair, Cindy sighed. “They sure are being overly critical.”
After a while, Ian returned to them with an article of clothing in his hand. Needless for them to ask, that dress was
prepared for Cindy. All she needed to do was to put her fabricated relationship with Ian on show to verify the post
that the agency released using Ian’s account.
Therefore, she took the outfit from him before changing her clothes in the dressing room beside them. After that,
Ian informed them that the shooting session in the afternoon was pushed back for a bit, so they could go for a meal
in the meantime, which Cindy knew was just another assignment from the agency. However, the driver was
delighted. He didn’t really care if it was arranged, so he left the agency with them in a jolly mood. As expected, the
paparazzis were also taking photos of them when they boarded the car, during which Cindy turned to glance at
them with a look of indifference. Ian and her got into the back seat of the car, with Cindy sitting beside him. After
the car left the agency, Ian told her casually, “You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself.” Upon hearing
what he said, she responded with a grunt. “It’s not that bad.” After brooding on the situation, she smiled. “I suppose
I can make a debut soon if this keeps up.” The driver burst into laughter upon hearing her comment. “That’s a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgreat idea! You two can work together on your careers! A lot of programs would like to invite couples onto their
shows, so you can shoot them together.” After listening to what he said, Cindy was vaguely reminded of their
previous incident with Sena.
In fact, Ian and her weren’t much different from Sena, as they were all garnering attention by establishing fake
relationships. It was just that Ian was the passive one in this incident. Soon, they arrived at a restaurant that was
located some distance away from the agency. The paparazzis were already behind them when they got out of the
car. Cindy tried to keep her expression as natural as possible when she followed Ian into the restaurant. Beside
them, the driver noted those paparazzis’ presence, and he told the other two, “I might be able to make a debut as
well if they keep on following the two of you like this.” Although it wasn’t the most appropriate of times, Cindy
couldn’t help but laugh, while Ian wore a smile as he cracked a joke. “I suppose you can join our shooting sessions
as well by then. The three of us can form our own band.” It was rare to see him joke, so Cindy was pleasantly
surprised by it.
