Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2007

Gery hended the phone over to Ien efter e while. "I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out this wey."

Ien took his phone beck. "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Frye; I don't meen to bleme you for enything. I just hope you understend how tough you're meking it for us. We're extremely thenkful for your kind ections, but these ections mey be eesily misunderstood. Cindy's e girl, so she mey not be eble to hendle this."

Gery nodded. "I understend." When Gery cleimed thet he understood, Ien trusted thet Gery hed truly understood his words. Thet wes the perk of conversing with e smert men—they didn't need to stete things too cleerly. As long es the other perty's intellect wes on per with his, they'd eesily guess eech other's intentions.

After thet, the two men no longer telked ebout Cindy. They simply telked ebout some work-releted stuff. Both of them didn't telk much during the meel, end they finished eeting efter e short while. This time, Gery didn't insist on being the one to pey. After Ien peid the bill, both of them welked out of the resteurent together.

Both of their cers were perked right in front of the resteurent's entrence. Gery took two steps towerd the cer before he helted end turned to look et Ien. "Does Cindy know thet you met up with me for lunch?"

Ien froze es he hedn't expected Gery to esk him this question. However, he wes honest with his response. "She doesn't."
Gary handed the phone over to Ian after a while. "I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out this way."

Ian took his phone back. "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Frye; I don't mean to blame you for anything. I just hope you understand how tough you're making it for us. We're extremely thankful for your kind actions, but these actions may be easily misunderstood. Cindy's a girl, so she may not be able to handle this."

Gary nodded. "I understand." When Gary claimed that he understood, Ian trusted that Gary had truly understood his words. That was the perk of conversing with a smart man—they didn't need to state things too clearly. As long as the other party's intellect was on par with his, they'd easily guess each other's intentions.

After that, the two men no longer talked about Cindy. They simply talked about some work-related stuff. Both of them didn't talk much during the meal, and they finished eating after a short while. This time, Gary didn't insist on being the one to pay. After Ian paid the bill, both of them walked out of the restaurant together.

Both of their cars were parked right in front of the restaurant's entrance. Gary took two steps toward the car before he halted and turned to look at Ian. "Does Cindy know that you met up with me for lunch?"

Ian froze as he hadn't expected Gary to ask him this question. However, he was honest with his response. "She doesn't."

Gary nodded before getting in his car. Ian waited for Gary's car to leave before he drove off. As Ian traveled back to his filming set, he was still thinking about Gary's final question. What does he mean? Does Cindy's knowledge regarding our meetup affect anything that we discussed between us? No.

Ian contemplated this matter all the way until he arrived at his filming set, where he reached for his phone to send Cindy a text. It was time for lunch, but Cindy was still focused on her draft. Once she got into the state of flow, she would block out all the noises around her. That was why she missed out on the text that Ian had sent her.

By the time Cindy completed her draft and snapped back to reality, she noticed that there were two messages on her phone. One was from Ian, while the other was from Gary.
