Next One Is a Babe

Ian wore a cold expression while pursing his lips, as he knew the driver was right. Turning around to adjust her position, Cindy wondered if she was being too sensitive, as she had a hunch that there might be something wrong between Ian and his girlfriend.

When they arrived at their next destination, Ian was still looking morose. Although he wasn’t a cheerful guy to begin with, Cindy could detect that he was unhappy. His displeasure essentially meant that he would be silent throughout the shooting process. When Cindy and Ian got to the lounge at the filming set, the other guest celebrities who were in it also pretended to be busy to avoid socializing with Ian. However, he wasn’t in the mood to socialize either, as he even omitted the customary greeting.

His sour mood was apparent from the sulk on his face, but she figured the others might assume that he was feeling upset because of the scandal. Therefore, Cindy did her best to keep a low profile while with Ian as she didn’t want to make things even more difficult for him when he was already feeling down.

The shooting went smoothly, as Ian was now being feared due to the fact that he had overturned the scandal online. Although none of the guests wanted to approach him, nor were they about to get onto his bad side. Not wanting to be associated with his scandal, they kept a moderate distance from him.

The production crew ordered takeaway for them during lunch. Under normal circumstances, everybody would have lunch together in the lounge, but Ian was a little grumpy, so he left to eat in his car while pulling Cindy behind him.

Cindy could easily imagine that the other guests would be criticizing him behind their back as being arrogant, but she couldn’t bring herself to care, as life was too short for such mundane concerns. Meanwhile, the driver was astonished by their presence, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Did a fight break out?”

Shaking her head, Cindy indicated to him that he should talk less for the day, so he obeyed despite not really understanding the reason behind it. Ian didn’t have much of an appetite, as he put his lunchbox down after just a few bites. Leaning against his seat, he seemed to be deep in thought, whereas both Cindy and the driver exchanged a glance as they sat in their respective seats before deciding to feign ignorance.

After a while, Ian’s phone rang. Cindy checked on him through the rearview mirror to see him fishing for his phone before staring at it with a frown. Although she didn’t know who the caller was, she had a feeling that it wasn’t anyone from the agency.

Sure enough, Ian picked up the call after getting out of the car. The call was from John, who read about the news online just now. Almost insipidly, John asked over the connection, “Are you alright? It seems like you’re just about settled though.”



Sniggering, Ian questioned, “Why would you suddenly care about me?”
