The driver heaved a sigh. “It’s all because of his fame. I hope he’ll be able to overcome this, as life with him is
comfortable. I don’t want to work with other celebrities.”
Cindy couldn’t help but agree with him. Although she only ever worked under Ian, she could appreciate that Ian was
more of a taciturn character who didn’t give her much trouble, which made her life so much easier.
When filming at other sets, she used to see how the other assistants were being criticized and chided constantly, so
she knew she had it easy in comparison. Therefore, she wished that Ian would thrive within the industry so that she
could remain with him. Besides, she still owed Ian money, so she didn’t want anything bad to befall him.
Meanwhile, the driver was also feeling slightly dejected upon knowing that things weren’t settled yet. After ending
the call, Cindy turned to cast Ian a glance, only to find him retaining his stoic attitude. In fact, he was so unfazed
that Cindy was worried about him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt wasn’t until afternoon that Hannah called Ian. As the call was for Ian, she didn’t dare listen in on their
conversation, so she watched him from the side. However, Ian kept a poker face throughout the call, so it was nigh
impossible for her to even guess what he heard over the phone by observing his facial expressions.
The call didn’t last long, as Ian hung up after a while, putting his phone away. Upon seeing that, Cindy asked, “Is the
call from Ms. Jones? What did she say?”
Ian recalled their conversation before relaying the message. “She said we should take some time off. While the
scandal hasn’t had much of an impact, there are too many paparazzi out there now, so we need to keep a low
profile.”
Nodding, Cindy queried, “Did she tell you how the scandal will be handled?”
Glancing at Cindy, Ian asked, “Why do you sound so afraid? Even if things go awry, I’ll be the one who’ll be bearing
the brunt of it, so it won’t affect you.”
In a low voice, Cindy said while pouting, “I still owe you money though.
” Although not that appropriate considering the circumstances, Ian couldn’t help but laugh. “I won’t be going down
that soon, so in the least, you’ll still be working with me next month, while I’ll still be able to deduct the money from
your paycheck.” Without a word, Cindy hung her head low in grief. In the meantime, Ian was planning to return to
his room when his phone rang, which he realized was a call from Logan upon checking the caller ID. Judging from
the fact that Logan went out of his way to read the articles online, he figured that Logan was in good spirits. Picking
up the call, he greeted Logan. But as soon as he did, Logan began wailing. “Ian, what happened? There are a lot of
people criticizing you online for cheating on your girlfriend when you don’t even have one! How dare those f*ckers
criticize you when they don’t know sh*t about you? Are you finding it difficult to open up about the truth? Why don’t
I hire some trolls to teach those people a lesson? Don’t be scared! Tell me everything so that I can solve this for
you! I’ll definitely give them a taste of their own medicine!” Smiling, Ian chided jokingly, “You need to calm down. I

me.” As soon as Logan heard that, he was riled up. “Are they finding fault with you because they think nobody has
your back? I was reading the sh*t that people are spouting online. They’re literally stepping on you to rise in the
ranks! I’ll have Lorraine teach them a lesson tomorrow! Don’t you worry! I’ll make sure they get what they
deserve!” Warmth coursed through Ian’s heart when he heard what Logan said. Throughout the years, Logan was
always the first to stand up for him no matter what happened. With a smile on his face, Ian consoled, “It’s alright.
This isn’t anything serious, so you should just stay put. I can handle this. If a major slip up happens in the future, I’ll
make sure to come look for you.” However, Logan didn’t care if it wasn’t a major slip up, as he couldn’t stand
anybody messing with Ian. His tone frigid, he said, “I’ll gladly solve even the tiniest of incidents for you, as messing
with you means crossing me! I’ll make sure whoever did this pays for their actions!” Ian couldn’t help but smile
gently at Logan’s words. .
