Chapter 1386


    Ian had just made his debut recently, so all eyes were on him. Although Cindy was merely his assistant, she knew people had a tendency to


    overanalyze her actions, so she was determined to not cause Ian any trouble. She took her phone out, only to return it into her pocket after


    looking at the time as there wasn’t a lot to go through on it.


    The shooting session didn’tst that long, about twenty minutes at most. As soon as Ian returned backstage, Cindy met him with haste. “How


    did it go?”


    He seemed calm when he said, “It’s not bad.”

    Right after he said so, Sena came to him with a bright smile on her face. “Ian, let me buy you a mealter as a token of my appreciation.”


    Waving his hand, Ian turned down her invitation. “You don’t have to thank me, as it’s just a part of my job. I have other things to work on, so


    I’ll buy you a meal when I have time.”


    A smile tugged on the corner of Sena’s lips. “Okay. I’ll keep this in mind, so you better keep your promise.”


    After a brief chat, Ian left with Cindy. As the program was under production, the celebrities were mostly scheduled to shoot their parts


    separately. They bumped into two other celebrities and their assistants while on their way out. Ian greeted both of them politely before leaving


    in the car. As soon as the car drove off, Ian cast Cindy a nce. “Did you capture the scene?”


    Nodding, Cindy fished for her phone, unlocking it to show him the video recordings from back when they were in the dressing room. Ian


    lowered his gaze to check on the recording. The recording began with a ck screen, as the phone was in Cindy’s pocket during that time.


    However, it did capture the conversation between Ian and Sena clearly, which proved that they only ever talked about the uing


    competition.


    Handing Cindy’s phone back to her, Ian seemed satisfied with the recording. “You look rather sickly, so you should get some rest in the car


    later on instead of following me around.”


    Cindy shook her head though. “It’s alright.


    All I need is a cup of coffee.” Their next program was a variety show, in which Ian was invited as a guest. Most variety shows were focused


    on itsedic effect, so Ian would be ying games and having fun while shooting, thus was to an extent an easier taskpared to the rest.


    As the set was located some distance away, they had to spend more time in the car. While Ian took a nap while leaning against his seat, Cindy


    was still having a headache, but she had a hard time falling asleep, so she took out her phone to check on it, only to find that there were no


    calls or messages still. She wondered if it was because she retaliated too harshly. After spending some time on the phone, she heaved a sigh


    while leaning back on her seat. It’s so unfair that we can’t choose where we were born. Meanwhile, Ian dipped in and out of sleep before


    waking up when the car stopped. Getting out of the car, Cindy helped him carry the luggage. This time, Ian didn’t need to put on any makeup,


    as he was only required to put on a different outfit. After entering the filming set, Cindy took out his clothes. “I’ll leave them here.” Turning


    around to nce at her, Ian said, “You should get some rest in the car.


    The program will take some time, so I won’te back out anytime soon. Besides, the crew might even use you of being a disturbance if


    you stay.” Cindy nodded while pursing her lips, knowing that Ian was in fact trying to give her some downtime. “Call me when you’re done.”


    With that, Ian left for the locker room with his outfit, whereas Cindy took some time to herself before leaving, figuring that she wouldn’t be


    getting coffee since it was going to take a while. Shey down on the back seats upon getting into the car. Because the driver was taking a


    smoke break, it was quiet in there, so she closed her eyes, finally dozing off despite the headache. However, her sleep was not peaceful at all,


    as the harsh words she said during her previous phone call reyed itself over and over again in her dreams. To be honest, she regretted what


    she said as soon as the words rolled off her tongue, but there wasn’t much else that she could do when she was gued with her own troubles.


    While she wanted to be more considerate toward her family, nobody was there for her when she needed them to be. Although it wasn’t a


    peaceful slumber, Cindy got quite a lot of sleep up until when the driver gave her a shove. “Cindy, wake up! What’s wrong? Are you having a


    nightmare?”
