Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1581

Ian wasn’t one for arguments. The worst thing that he had ever done when trying to resolve a conflict was giving a lukewarm response. “Why are you so worked up? Did I step on your toes or what?”

He was typically a calm person. After saying that, he immediately realized that he had crossed the line a little.

Cindy slowly nodded, exasperated. Fury could no longer accurately describe the expression she had. “If that’s your answer, then let’s have a good discussion about this. Let’s put aside the fact that I’m publicly known as your girlfriend and take a few steps back. Even if I actually am your girlfriend, you can’t tell me who I can or cannot interact with. Not to mention our relationship is purely business. I may rely on you for my paycheck, but we are equals otherwise. Our lives are completely independent from each other. You cannot stick your nose too much into my affairs. Get your facts straight.”

There were plenty of celebrities at the agency who would boss their assistants around, never once treating their assistants as a human being. They wished for nothing else than to treat their assistants as servants, controlling them completely. Despite this, there were many assistants out there who thought that this kind of relationship was normal. After all, they depended on those celebrities for their paycheck.

But Cindy never thought that this kind of twisted relationship was acceptable. She looked at Ian. “You’re my employer, and I’m your employee. That’s all there is to it. If we’re both upset about this, we can certainly dissolve this arrangement.”

Upon saying that, Cindy noticed Ian frowning.

“Dissolve the arrangement?” He chuckled. “How much courage did Gary inspire for you to actually suggest dissolving our current arrangement?”

Cindy eyed him. “What does this have to do with Gary? Can you not pin everything on him?”

Ian had a mocking look on his face. “You think I don’t know just how much of a sucker you are for money? You used to be able to endure any sort of hardship, but now you can’t do that? To the point that you’re willing to abandon your job? It’s clear that Gary has been encouraging you.”

Cindy took in a few deep breaths. “Ian, I never realized just how petty you are. I have my own boundaries too, regardless of my love for money. I’m not willing to serve someone like you no matter how much money I can get out of it.”

Ian slowly reined in his expression. He stared at her for a long while. “Fine, then. If that’s what you want, let’s end your employment tomorrow. You think I’m willing to live my days like this? You have no idea how ill at ease I am with you around.”

Cindy nearly burst into laughter. You ate the food that I cooked, and you stayed in the house that I helped keep tidy and clean. Why didn’t you voice your discomfort then?

She made an affirming hum. “Fine. Since we’ve said that much, then there’s nothing else to add. That’s a deal.”

Having said that, she whirled around and left Ian’s room to go to her own. She didn’t have a lot of belongings, so packing up was rather simple.
