Next One Is a Babe

Ian had just made his debut recently, so all eyes were on him. Although Cindy was merely his assistant, she knew people had a tendency to overanalyze her actions, so she was determined to not cause Ian any trouble. She took her phone out, only to return it into her pocket after looking at the time as there wasn’t a lot to go through on it.

The shooting session didn’t last that long, about twenty minutes at most. As soon as Ian returned backstage, Cindy met him with haste. “How did it go?”

He seemed calm when he said, “It’s not bad.”

Right after he said so, Sena came to him with a bright smile on her face. “Ian, let me buy you a meal later as a token of my appreciation.”

Waving his hand, Ian turned down her invitation. “You don’t have to thank me, as it’s just a part of my job. I have other things to work on, so I’ll buy you a meal when I have time.”

A smile tugged on the corner of Sena’s lips. “Okay. I’ll keep this in mind, so you better keep your promise.”

After a brief chat, Ian left with Cindy. As the program was under production, the celebrities were mostly scheduled to shoot their parts separately. They bumped into two other celebrities and their assistants while on their way out. Ian greeted both of them politely before leaving in the car. As soon as the car drove off, Ian cast Cindy a glance. “Did you capture the scene?”

Nodding, Cindy fished for her phone, unlocking it to show him the video recordings from back when they were in the dressing room. Ian lowered his gaze to check on the recording. The recording began with a black screen, as the phone was in Cindy’s pocket during that time. However, it did capture the conversation between Ian and Sena clearly, which proved that they only ever talked about the upcoming competition.

Handing Cindy’s phone back to her, Ian seemed satisfied with the recording. “You look rather sickly, so you should get some rest in the car later on instead of following me around.”

Cindy shook her head though. “It’s alright. All I need is a cup of coffee.”

Their next program was a variety show, in which Ian was invited as a guest. Most variety shows were focused on its comedic effect, so Ian would be playing games and having fun while shooting, thus was to an extent an easier task compared to the rest.

As the set was located some distance away, they had to spend more time in the car. While Ian took a nap while leaning against his seat, Cindy was still having a headache, but she had a hard time falling asleep, so she took out her phone to check on it, only to find that there were no calls or messages still. She wondered if it was because she retaliated too harshly. After spending some time on the phone, she heaved a sigh while leaning back on her seat. It’s so unfair that we can’t choose where we were born.

Meanwhile, Ian dipped in and out of sleep before waking up when the car stopped. Getting out of the car, Cindy helped him carry the luggage. This time, Ian didn’t need to put on any makeup, as he was only required to put on a different outfit. After entering the filming set, Cindy took out his clothes. “I’ll leave them here.”
