Next One Is a Babe

---

She’s pretty straightforward to speak whatever that is on her mind.

However, her demeanor made Ian speechless. Initially, he had wanted to analyze the pros and cons for participating in couples’ reality shows for her but now, he gave up on that idea.

Hence, he merely hummed in agreement and turned around to go to the dining table to wait for her.

In the end, Cindy made noodles for breakfast. After bringing two plates of noodles out, she placed one of them in front of Ian, but he looked at it without any appetite.

Raising her head to look at him, she asked, “Do you not feel like having noodles? Let me know what you want, then. I’ll make it.”

“It’s fine.” Ian picked up his cutlery and mumbled, “I’m not a picky eater, so I’ll eat anything.”

Cindy finally realized that something seemed off and she really looked at him. “Is it because you don’t want me to participate in the reality show? I thought that Ms. Jones only talked to me after you agreed to it and made up your mind that you wanted me to join you.”

Ian raised his head and looked at her. “It’s not that. I am not opposed to your participation.”

He scooped the noodles and looked at it. However, he was really in no mood for food right now, so he put them down again. “I just think that it will affect you greatly if we attend such shows together.”

After a moment of hesitation, Cindy said, “I won’t be in the entertainment industry in the future and I don’t know what the future holds for me. The most practical way is to earn more money so that I will have a better life. If you are referring to my reputation, I think it will be fine. After some time passes, no one will remember this.”

Upon hearing that, Ian admitted that she made sense, so he became quiet again.

And so, the both of them had breakfast silently, but neither of them ate much. In the end, they left a fair bit of food behind.

As the shooting for today was not until later, they were in no hurry to go out.

After Cindy cleaned the kitchen, she went to sit on the couch.

Meanwhile, Ian had already returned to his room and closed the door, so she had no idea what he was up to.

She glanced at her phone and saw a message from Gary.

It was sent ten minutes ago, so she quickly looked at it.

Turned out that he had asked when she would be free to sign the contract, so she quickly replied, ‘I was busy just now. When would you be free?’

After all, she was quite free. If it didn’t work out, she could meet Gary when Ian was shooting some programs. Truth be told, it would only depend on when Gary would be able to make it.

Upon receiving her reply, he immediately called her. Efficient people like them usually did not like to send messages.

And so, Cindy picked up the phone and addressed him. “Hello, Mr. Frye.”

His voice was quite gentle. “Are you busy now? If you have time, you can come over today.”

Shen then looked at the time and quickly asked, “Is it okay for me to go over now? Ian has not started shooting yet and it will start only later on in the day.”

“Sure,” Gary replied immediately. “I thought you would be busy in the morning. It’s fine if you come in the afternoon.”

“Don’t worry about it. I have the time now and I’ll go over to your place straight away.”
