Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1406

John stared at Sophia for a while with a serious expression before finally deciding to ditch the topic. Whatever... She wouldn’t understand anyway. I guess the rumor that pregnancy affects the mother’s cognitive abilities is true after all.

He spent some more time playing with the baby before taking him downstairs. Seeing that Sophia wanted to take a nap, he hugged her until she fell asleep. Lying in bed, John mulled over the situation before getting up and leaving the room to give Ian another call in the corridor.

Ian picked up fairly quickly while speaking in an annoyed tone. “Why are you calling again?”

John had a similar attitude. “Why don’t you make a freaking guess? Even if you aren’t worried about it, I don’t like the fact that Sophia’s identity is being uncovered.”

After a moment’s pause, Ian told him, “Don’t worry. I will make sure that she doesn’t get involved. I will settle things my way.”

However, John didn’t really trust him. “You’d better make sure that you resolve this without a hitch. Ian, you know me. While I would tolerate any other blunder, this isn’t one of them.”

On the other hand, Ian wasn’t about to submit to John. “You know me too. I would never put her in harm’s way even if it means I have to go against the world.”


What Ian said bordered on being a confession, which was something that irked John greatly. What the heck? Why would he even say that? He’s just another man who’s now unrelated to my wife in any way! John hung up without a word due to how frustrated he was.

Meanwhile, Ian was wearing a morose look while still holding onto his phone. After taking some time to calm down, he returned to the office. Hannah and Cindy were sitting in there, and the latter was still spacing out a little, yet to recover from the shock she received from what Hannah told her.

Ian sat back down on his chair while looking at Cindy. “If you help me out, you will be entitled to make any request.”

With a frown on her face, Cindy was still at a loss as to what he meant. “Can I literally ask for anything?”

Before Ian could say anything, Hannah nodded. “Yeah. You can make any request, such as a salary raise or some other form of compensation. I hope you will be able to cooperate with us on this. You have been working alongside Ian for some time, so I suppose you want him to thrive in the industry as well, right?”

Cindy shifted her focus to look at Hannah. “I wonder if we will be able to pull this off though. It's not that I don't want to help, but as you can see, I am not really an outstanding person. Things will get even more complicated if anybody exposes us because of me messing up.”

Heaving a sigh, Hannah replied, “Yeah. Of course I know that, which is why we have to make sure to execute the plan as flawlessly as possible. Cindy, I trust you, which is a major reason why we asked for your help. I wouldn't be asking this of anybody but you.”
