Next One Is a Babe

Cindy didn’t reply to Ian’s question. Instead, she just brought him along as she walked toward the agreed spot where the girl would be waiting. The crew on that side had wrapped up for the day, and the girl was still obediently standing there.

She was wearing the same clothes she wore in the afternoon, so Cindy could recognize her from a distance away.

The girl stood where she was, holding something in her arms as she glanced at her surroundings.

When Cindy and Ian walked nearer, the girl turned and saw them. She was stunned for a while, then dashed over to them.

Cindy let go of her hand interlocked with Ian’s, then moved to one side. The girl was running straight toward Ian, and she seemed like she was going in for a hug. Ian had quicker responses, however, and he took a step backward.

The girl also responded in time, stopping in her tracks as soon as she saw Ian’s actions.

Then, she got so excited that she couldn’t talk properly. She passed the item in her arms to Ian, saying, “Ian, this is for you. I had this custom-made. I don’t know if you’d like it or not, but I think it’s pretty nice.”

The item she gave Ian was a plush doll modeled after a cartoon version of Ian.

It’s kind of cute.

Ian took the item and thanked her.

The girl was originally smiling as she looked at Ian, but it didn’t take long for her to purse her lips. In fact, her eyes were reddened. “I came here to be one of the extras just to meet you, but your crew is so secretive that I can’t even find it. I’ve been whiling my time away over here for almost half a month, so I have no choice but to enter random crews. Look at the mess I’m in right now!”

The girl’s makeup had smudged even more from when Cindy saw her in the afternoon. She did look quite pitiful.

Cindy tried to hold back her laugh at the side. She already knew about this beforehand, but she still wanted to laugh as she listened to the girl retelling the events.

Ian wanted to laugh as well, and Cindy could see that he was suppressing that urge. “I see. It must be hard for you.”

The two were trying not to laugh, but the girl herself was almost in tears. “I thought your crew wasn’t here, and I was so deep in despair.”

Then, she turned to look at Cindy. “Fortunately, I saw her today. If not, I don’t know how much longer I’ll have to wait.”

She inhaled pitifully. “Maybe I’d just leave in the end without ever seeing you.”

With that, she thought for a while and hastily returned to the business at hand.

The girl brought a piece of paper and a pen with her, and she also took out her phone. After getting an autograph from Ian, the girl also took a few photos with him.

The girl was a little regretful as she was checking the photos. “I probably look too terrible. I should’ve dressed up before coming over.”

Cindy comforted her. “It’s all right. He’ll still be filming here for some time, so you still have another chance if time permits.”

The girl instantly beamed. “I see, that’s great! Where is your crew, by the way? Can I go over to look when I’m free?”
