Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1839

Yulia had repeatedly called and texted her, but Cindy didn’t even check before clearing her phone log and unread messages.

Frankly speaking, she was a little surprised to see how desperate Yulia was. Looks like she really does care about Ian. Knowing how high and mighty Yulia usually was, she would have stopped calling and texting the moment Cindy ignored her.

Cindy sighed. Some people were just incredibly hard to read; Yulia had come across plenty of men in the entertainment industry, and among those were A-list celebrities who had worked with her time and time again. Sparks and chemistry aside, she even attended a few awards ceremonies together with them. But I don’t see her pining after them like she does Ian.

Ian, on the other hand, was a new star on the rise and it didn’t make sense that Yulia had taken an instant liking to him right after their first collaboration.

On that point, Cindy wasn’t sure whether Ian was devilishly charismatic or if Yulia simply had unique tastes.

While Cindy thought about this, she slid against the headboard and lay on the bed, seemingly beleaguered. At this moment, Ian entered the bedroom.

Earlier on, he had wanted to see whether she would like to go for a stroll with Aurora, but she had seemed down since their meal at the restaurant. As such, he figured he should stay home and keep her company instead.

Presently, he sauntered over to the bed and lay next to her before he reached to pull her into his arms. As he caressed her back with one hand, he asked in a soft murmur, “What is it? You look like something’s on your mind.”

After a moment of hesitation, Cindy answered, “Yulia called me earlier and texted me, too. I didn’t answer any of her calls nor replied to any of her texts and deleted them right away.”

Ian stiffened before he frowned. “Why did she call you?”

As if I would know. She let out a humorless chuckle. “I have no idea, which was why I ignored her in the first place.”

While he pondered on this, he suddenly sat up and grabbed his phone.

Cindy immediately placed her hand on his arm to stop him. “What are you doing?”

“Asking her why she called you,” Ian explained forthrightly.

She shook her head. “Forget it. Besides, I didn’t answer her calls or check any of her messages; I don’t know what’s going on with her, but calling her right now doesn’t seem like the best option. More importantly, we shouldn’t try to start anything with her. We can’t afford to.”

Ian tightly clutched his phone, looking grim as he muttered, “She called you right after I turned down her good graces. Tell me she isn’t up to something here. I don’t know what kind of games she thinks she’s playing.”

At the sight of his hostile reaction, Cindy immediately sensed that there had been more to the phone conversation he had with Yulia earlier. She must have said something else. However, she pursed her lips and did not prompt any further.

On the other hand, he looked rather incensed. “Does she think she can push our limits just because she has capital now?”

Cindy eyed him steadily before nodding. “It’s precisely because she has capital that she has the nerve to do all these. We can’t be too surprised by this, seeing as how a lot of people would behave the same way in her shoes.”

Indeed, the entertainment industry was rife with characters who thought that a bit of capital could make them king and allow them to do whatever they wished.
