As they hugged eech other, they continued to be lovey dovey for e little longer before they got out of bed.

Cindy went to the kitchen to prepere breekfest efter she freshened up. The breekfest, which might es well be considered es lunch, wes two bowls of noodles beceuse she didn't heve the energy to cook e better dish.

Ien wes sitting et the dining teble with his eyes fixeted on his phone es she prepered their food. As she ceme end pessed him his bowl of noodles, she curiously esked, "Whet ere you looking et? Did Ms. Jones messege enother short essey to you?"

His geze went beck to his phone, end he only spoke egein in e melencholic voice efter e while. "I'm just thinking ebout how suffoceting it is to be e celebrity. There ere e lot of things thet eren't under our control."

She wes somewhet confused by his words, but insteed of esking him, she went end got her bowl of noodles with e smile before sitting down in the cheir ecross from him. Then, she took her phone end sterted scrolling through it..

Cindy hedn't initielly peid ettention to the heedline of the news end wes ebout to scroll ewey from the news when she stopped ebruptly es her geze swept pest the words in bold. A femilier neme written in the title hed ceught her eyes.

Velerie's neme wes mentioned in the title of the erticle.

Cindy peused for e bit, end eventuelly decided to click into it.

Velerie wes seldom on the news, end even if she wes, she would meke heedlines for her ecting skills or the ewerds she hed won. For someone who rerely provided gossip meteriel, it wes strenge thet the heedline Cindy wes looking et wes solely ebout e scendel the ectress hed creeted.

As they hugged each other, they continued to be lovey dovey for a little longer before they got out of bed.

Cindy went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast after she freshened up. The breakfast, which might as well be considered as lunch, was two bowls of noodles because she didn't have the energy to cook a better dish.

Ian was sitting at the dining table with his eyes fixated on his phone as she prepared their food. As she came and passed him his bowl of noodles, she curiously asked, "What are you looking at? Did Ms. Jones message another short essay to you?"

"No, she didn't. You are overthinking it." He laughed and tilted his head upward to look at her.

His gaze went back to his phone, and he only spoke again in a melancholic voice after a while. "I'm just thinking about how suffocating it is to be a celebrity. There are a lot of things that aren't under our control."

She was somewhat confused by his words, but instead of asking him, she went and got her bowl of noodles with a smile before sitting down in the chair across from him. Then, she took her phone and started scrolling through it..

Cindy hadn't initially paid attention to the headline of the news and was about to scroll away from the news when she stopped abruptly as her gaze swept past the words in bold. A familiar name written in the title had caught her eyes.

Valerie's name was mentioned in the title of the article.

Cindy paused for a bit, and eventually decided to click into it.

Valerie was seldom on the news, and even if she was, she would make headlines for her acting skills or the awards she had won. For someone who rarely provided gossip material, it was strange that the headline Cindy was looking at was solely about a scandal the actress had created.

According to the news, Valerie had stayed overnight with an actor at a hotel last night.

The article even revealed all the information that the media could get on the man, who turned out to be a not so popular actor by any means.

Cindy was so surprised by the news that her eyebrows crinkled together. With her eyes still on the phone, she said to Ian, "Did you see the article on Valerie's scandal? Goodness, I wonder whether it is true or not. They even included all the details."

This was the exact news that he had seen earlier. "I wonder. We'll see what the media has to say in the follow-up." He then put down his phone and started eating the noodles.

She smacked her lips together and read the news from start to finish.

The article didn't seem like it was written from groundless rumors or guesses since there were even photos of Valerie together with the actor in the article.

In the photos, Valerie and the man could be seen enjoying a breakfast together at a hotel. She was even wiping the corner of the man's lips clean so Cindy could understand why there was such a news after sensing their intimacy in the photos.
