Next One Is a Babe

Yulia probably didn't want to talk about this topic, so she changed the subject after being silent for a while. Then, she mentioned the resources she had discussed with her friends, saying that the resources were all top-level. Once this kind of resource was used, one could become a lot more popular with just a little effort. Moreover, Aurora could also clear her name and be popular too.

Since the topic came back to this, Ian didn't really want to talk about it. He raised his eyes and gazed not far away before he noticed someone walking toward them. There was a scandal circulating around them before, so it would be really bad for them to be seen alone with each other at this time. So, he stood up and said, “Someone is coming over. It's almost time and I have to go back.”

She asked, “Leaving so soon?”

Ian nodded. “Thank you for your help, but we prefer to be slow and steady. The resources are too good, so the ability to keep up will also pressure us.”

Before Yulia could stand up and speak, Ian turned around and left. He didn't know whether Yulia understood what he said earlier, but he hoped that she did. She had been in this industry for so long, so her mind should be clearer than others, but she was also sometimes reluctant to take in information from others. If she really didn’t understand, he could do nothing about it either. Dealing with such a person is really nerve-racking.

He strode toward the house, but halfway there, his phone beeped again. Taking a look at it, he realized that it was a message from Yulia.

Ian wasn’t sure if she understood what he had said just now, but her message told him not to be stressed out. She explained that the reason why she was in such a hurry to share resources with him was because she hoped he could reach new heights sooner. She said she wanted to help him as he was a genuine and honest person, which was rare.

He didn't want to think about whether what she said was true or not anymore as it was meaningless. It was just his wish to draw a clear line between himself and Yulia in the future. To be honest, he was never close to her at first. She was a photographer and only took a set of cover photos for him. It was a normal working relationship, which should have been terminated after the collaboration ended and for some reason, it became what it was today.

Aurora had already left when Ian returned home. Cindy was in the living room and talking on the phone. By the time he opened the door and entered, her call had just ended. She didn't avoid him but merely kept her phone away and looked at him. “You’re back? Let's go out for dinner tonight.”

Ian didn't think much of it and walked toward the bathroom. “Where do you want to go?”

Actually, it wasn’t Cindy’s idea; it was that she had made an appointment with Gary before.

Cindy followed Ian to the bathroom. Watching Ian wash his face, she answered, “Mr. Frye sent me a message before, saying that he wants to have dinner together. Maybe he wanted to tell me about the investment.”

He stopped and turned to look at her as her expression was stoic. Without him asking, she explained, “Don't think about any nonsense. If I really had something with him, I wouldn’t have asked you to come with me.”
