The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 1413

Ian waited until the car stopped, but instead of getting out of the car, he called out to Cindy, who was still sitting in the passenger seat. “Come over here.”

Turning around to cast a glance at Ian, she instantly realized what he wanted to do, so she climbed through the space between the driver and passenger seat to get to the back seat. After that, Ian got out of the car before looking back at her with his hand reaching out. Although Cindy knew it was an act, her heart was still fluttering, and she hesitated for a moment before finally putting her hand in his palm.

In fact, all Ian did was help her get out of the car. As soon as she was out, he retracted his hand before the two of them entered the agency side-by-side. Hannah was already waiting when they got to the meeting room, but Cindy wasn’t required to attend the meeting. When Ian entered the room, Cindy peeked inside while passing by, only to see that there were a few other higher-ups in the room. She figured it made sense that they saw the need to call for a meeting, considering the fact that they were experiencing such a major shake-up.

Cindy waited for Ian in the lounge with the driver by her side. While in there, the driver was checking on the latest gossip and tutting from time to time. Although she was curious about the fans’ opinion of her, she decided to not ask as she knew that she would crack easily under pressure.

After going through most of the comments, the driver put his phone away. “Cindy, the relationship between you and Ian is currently the trending topic.”

Therefore, she took the outfit from him before changing her clothes in the dressing room beside them. After that, Ian informed them that the shooting session in the afternoon was pushed back for a bit, so they could go for a meal in the meantime, which Cindy knew was just another assignment from the agency. However, the driver was delighted. He didn’t really care if it was arranged, so he left the agency with them in a jolly mood. As expected, the paparazzis were also taking photos of them when they boarded the car, during which Cindy turned to glance at them with a look of indifference. Ian and her got into the back seat of the car, with Cindy sitting beside him. After the car left the agency, Ian told her casually, “You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself.” Upon hearing what he said, she responded with a grunt. “It’s not that bad.” After brooding on the situation, she smiled. “I suppose I can make a debut soon if this keeps up.” The driver burst into laughter upon hearing her comment. “That’s a great idea! You two can work together on your careers! A lot of programs would like to invite couples onto their shows, so you can shoot them together.” After listening to what he said, Cindy was vaguely reminded of their previous incident with Sena.

In fact, Ian and her weren’t much different from Sena, as they were all garnering attention by establishing fake relationships. It was just that Ian was the passive one in this incident. Soon, they arrived at a restaurant that was located some distance away from the agency. The paparazzis were already behind them when they got out of the car. Cindy tried to keep her expression as natural as possible when she followed Ian into the restaurant. Beside them, the driver noted those paparazzis’ presence, and he told the other two, “I might be able to make a debut as well if they keep on following the two of you like this.” Although it wasn’t the most appropriate of times, Cindy couldn’t help but laugh, while Ian wore a smile as he cracked a joke. “I suppose you can join our shooting sessions as well by then. The three of us can form our own band.” It was rare to see him joke, so Cindy was pleasantly surprised by it.
