Next One Is a Babe

One of the people said that Ian was filming nearby and suggested that they tell Yulia about it.

The executive director smacked their lips. “Never mind, she’ll never get Ian. With a personality like that, only unpopular ones would want to stick to her to get more fame and recognition. Someone like Ian would have their principles intact, and he could definitely climb the ranks without her.”

The others nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”

Then, someone asked, “You know Yulia, right? Have you heard her talking about Ian in private?”

The executive director shook their head but also said, “She never told us in private, but she might have asked someone else to convey her intentions for us to pressure Ian a little. You know, snip his resources a little and force him into a corner.”

The others were stunned. “She can do that? Doesn’t Ian have a girlfriend? It’s one thing to like someone in private, but another thing altogether to act on it.”

The executive director chuckled. “That’s the sort of person she is. She just has to get everything she fancies.”

The others could only sigh upon hearing those words. “She’s this bold because she’s involved with his investors and sponsors. Any other person can only watch as their dreams get broken.”

The food Ian ordered was served then, so Cindy and Ian simply focused on eating, pretending not to hear the gossip. Rumors and gossips were too common in the entertainment industry.

Perhaps offended by the topics being thrown around at that table, Cindy and Ian quickly finished their food and left the food truck. After walking for a while, Cindy finally spoke up. “Is that really the executive director? What’s with the back-fence chats?”

Ian smiled. “The executive directors are many in number, so one or two of them would be normal people who are willing to engage in gossip like that.”

Cindy pouted. “Still, do you think everyone in that circle knows about the matter between Yulia and you?”

At the mention of Yulia, Ian couldn’t help but sigh a little. “Not just their circle; I think even outsiders know.”

The person just now was talking in a loud voice, so the surrounding people must have heard it all. The rumors might spread the next day. However, even if they did, Ian wouldn’t be affected too much by it. To be honest, the problem was definitely with Yulia’s side of things.

Yulia’s friends had really done her dirty this time. Ian took a long walk with Cindy, and the two acted like a lovesick couple, leaning against each other throughout the whole walk.

Soon, they came upon a musical fountain in a park nearby. Cindy dragged Ian over to have a look. The fountain wasn’t something new to them, but the atmosphere was lovely, so Cindy wanted to make things more romantic.

Ian complied with her and followed her to the fountain, after which the two stood by as they watched the little show. There was already a crowd gathering, and most of the people were parents with their children.
