A second clip followed the first, but it wasn’t derived from the recording that Cindy sent to Hannah, but one

captured during a negotiation that happened between Sena’s manager and Hannah.

Sena’s team wanted to market her and Ian as a couple. They continued to push the idea even after Hannah

indicated that Ian already had a girlfriend, going as far as suggesting Ian to announce that he had broken up with

said girlfriend before fabricating some gossip with Sena.

Upon mentioning Ian’s girlfriend, Sena’s team insisted that she should be more understanding of the situation as

they were doing it for the sake of Ian’s future. Besides, the gossip would be fabricated anyway.

The one who kept blabbering on was Sena’s manager. Despite the manager’s relatively young age, the manner in

which the manager spoke was brash and arrogant. The release of the second clip only further aggravated the

situation, crushing Sena’s reputation altogether.

A lot of the netizens switched sides, chastising Sena for being negligent and pinning it as the reason for her

lukewarm reception among the audience. Others even criticized her looks, indicating that they knew she was a

player all along. All of the grueling insults that they hurled at Ian were now directed at Sena.

In the meantime, all those who supported Sena had shut up. Some of them even deleted their posts that showed

support for her. However, the public would remember what they said and did even if they tried to backtrack.

Upon witnessing such a turnaround, Cindy was finally feeling reassured. Throughout the few months that she spent

working with Ian, that was her first time experiencing such turbulent emotions. She read through most of the online

articles before turning to look at Ian. “Quick! You need to see this! There’s a turnaround happening!”

However, Ian still maintained his previous nonchalant attitude. “Are you feeling better now?”

Cindy was finally able to smile. “Yeah. I can finally rest assured

 

But now I’m curious to see what will happen to the people who tried to blackmail you.” Ian wasn’t that interested at

all, so he entered his room after a while. “It’s getting late. We’ll probably be going back to work tomorrow, so you

better go get some sleep.” Clutching onto her phone, Cindy was still staring intently at the screen. “Sure.

Goodnight.” After that, she left for her own room, but she had a hard time falling asleep due to the ecstasy she felt,

so she sprawled out on bed to check on the situation online. To be frank, most netizens were fence sitters, so she

believed that those who were criticizing Sena most probably had been slandering Ian back then. Talk was cheap

especially when it was done anonymously online, and most importantly, there were no repercussions to it. Cindy

thought seeing the situation backfire on Sena would free her from her vexation, but reading through the mean

comments didn’t make her feel any better. After a while, she put her phone away, deciding that it was pointless to

watch other people reprimanding others for their actions. Quickly washing up, she turned the lights off before lying

down on bed and shutting her eyes. A lot had happened that day that she wound up dreaming about the same

things that had transpired. She dreamed that Ian was doing some indecent acts with Sena in the dressing room.

Rushing over to drag him away, she yelled at Ian, “No! You can’t do this!” The Ian in her dreams regarded her with

such a gentle expression when he caressed her face, speaking in a loving tone. “Why can’t I? Don’t tell me you like

me as well?” Cindy jolted awake as soon as she dreamed of that, wiping away a sheen of sweat from her

forehead. This is horrible. How could I fall in love with him when I never liked anybody? When she was appointed as

Ian’s assistant, Hannah already warned her to not fall for Ian, as it was a taboo to do so. .
