Next One Is a Babe

As expected, he couldn’t handle it either.

Cindy paused in her steps but finally went toward Ian. As she got a little closer, he heard her and turned to look at her with a flat expression. “You can’t handle it in there?”

Cindy returned with a question of her own, asking, “You can’t either?”

Ian chuckled a little. "Well, I’ve never been interested in this stuff in the first place.”

He had faced too many cameras in his life, so much so that he lost any empathy he used to have while watching movies. In fact, he would keep thinking about the whole lot of staff off-camera. In his opinion, all the scenes with their strong emotions were fake.

Turning around, Cindy leaned against the wall like him and replied, "I don't really like watching such stuff either." Then, she added, "Mrs. Morgan is still inside?"

Ian nodded as an acknowledgment. "Actually, she’s not watching the movie anymore. But I don’t understand why she is so eager to watch those couples and their romantic interactions?”

Smiling, Cindy did not speak, but Ian appeared rather hesitant when he spoke. "I met with the Morgan Family, and their outlooks are rather unified when it comes to certain concerns. But before they can come forward to take a stand, we need to spread the information about some issues."

Ah, that's beyond my expectation! “The Morgan Family is open to discussions?” she asked.

Ian thought about his previous meeting with Sean. He felt that Sean was quite open to discussions, and at the very least, Sean had no intention of making things difficult for him. It was probably because he had never wanted to compete with Sean for the family fortune, so Sean trusted him. Compared to Simon and Sally, Ian was really not a threat at all, so Sean would naturally be on his side.

Cindy nodded. “As long as they are agreeable. I hope when they come forward to take a stand, they won’t speak ambiguously. If they do, the outside world would likely over-interpret things, and by then, not only would things be not explained clearly, but trouble would also be stirred up as well.”

Naturally, Ian understood this truth, so he slightly raised his head and exhaled. "It's fine. Do not worry."

Since they could not continue just standing there, Ian said, "Let’s go sit over there for a while."

There were public tables and chairs next to the screening hall, and as the movies were being screened now, there was no one outside, as almost all the patrons had gone into the halls. Thus, the two of them went to sit on a bench. Before that, Ian went to buy two cans of soda.

Cindy's initial discomfort and embarrassment had waned, so she waited for Ian to sit down before she asked, “Did Hannah tell you when we should get ready? I sent her a message before, but she only told me to wait.”

Ian nodded in response. "She also said the same thing to me. According to her, the company will make arrangements, and I suppose they will be hiring online trolls. Moreover, they will have to broadcast news in advance, so let’s just wait it out. After all, so much time has passed, so it’s fine to wait a few more days.”

However, Cindy wanted to remind him that despite the fact that it had been a while, they had been apart all those times. If they continued to wait, they would have to wait together. Thus, it was likely that they had to live in the same room or even sleep on the same bed. It would be the worst for her.
