Chapter 1387


    Cindy opened her eyes slowly, but her mind was still muddled up. Heaving a sigh, the driver asked, “Why are you crying? What have you


    dreamed of?”


    Running her hand across her face, Cindy realized it was full of tears, which she wiped away hastily using her shirt. “I had a scary nightmare,


    so thanks for waking me up.”


    The driver didn’t think much of it while he chuckled. “To be frightened by your own nightmares… You’re a little girl after all.”


    Smiling, Cindy said, “I didn’t realize I was dreaming until you woke me up.” After that, she looked out of the window while changing the


    topic. “Is Ian not finished yet?”


    The driver hummed in response. “It’s only been half an hour, so I suppose it’ll take a while more.”


    With a nod, Cindy took a deep breath to suppress the overflowing emotions within her, whereas the driver leaned back into his seat with his


    hands on the steering wheel. “To be honest, I worked with a lot of celebrities, so I can in fact see that Ian is a little different from the rest of


    them.”


    Startled, Cindy nced at the driver. “How is he different? He’s the first ever celebrity whom I worked with, so I don’t really have a point of


    reference.”


    Smacking his lips, the driver borated, “I just have a feeling that he never seems happy. The celebrities whom I worked with seemed to


    enjoy making public appearances, but Ian is different in the sense that he is merely treating it as a job.”


    Cindy didn’t quite get what he meant, but she chuckled nheless. “Being a celebrity is a profession in itself.”


    In response to that, the driver shook his head, but didn’t dwell any further on the topic. On the other hand, Cindy no longer felt like sleeping,


    so she took a peek at the filming set after getting out of the car. Seeing that Ian was still filming, Cindy waited at the entrance of the building.


    The weather today wasn’t too great, as it was overcast, looking to rain anytime soon. After a while, she took out her phone to make a call,


    which was quickly answered by a woman. “Cindy.”


    Cindy sounded a little cold when she hummed in response. “Give me some more time, as I no longer have any money.


    For now, find someone who can lend you money, and I’ll send you the money as soon as I have some.” There was a weak hum from the other


    side of the phone. “So when will you get the money? I have to tell them when I will be able to return the money if I want to borrow from


    them.” Cindy had reminded herself to be patient, but she couldn’t help but be riled up upon hearing what the other woman had to say, so she


    sounded even colder. “I don’t know when I will be able to get the money, as I will also have to go borrow some. I already gave you every coin


    that I have, and the people around me are all wary of me, so I don’t know when I will be able to get my hands on some money.” UponContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    detecting that Cindy was in a bad mood, the woman on the other side of the phone reduced her voice to a squeal. “Okay, you can send me the


    money as soon as you’ve got it. Mom will stop asking.” After that, the woman told her, “Take care of yourself out there. I’ll be hanging up


    now since phone calls are expensive.” Without even giving a response, Cindy put her phone away after hanging up. She gave her chest a few


    punches to loosen herself up from feelings of grief.


    She had been working a job ever since she graduated from university, and while it might not be the highest paying job out there, she was


    earning money. However, she didn’t get to save any money despite having worked so hard. On the contrary, she was indebted to a lot of


    people due to a certain individual who was ready to devour her with their boundless greed whenever the opportunity arose. Cindy stood at the


    entrance until the filming was done, during which it began raining. There were umbres in the car, so the driver handed her two of them in a


    hurry, whereas she opened and held one over Ian. Taking the umbre into his hand, Ian said, “I can hold my own umbre, so you don’t have


    to fuss over me.” After that, he left for the car on his own, whereas Cindy followed suit after opening her own umbre. Upon getting into the


    vehicle, they had to make their way to their next destination for a talk show. Due to heavy rain, they had to go slow. Sitting in the car, Cindy


    took out her phone to go through her list of contacts, only to find that she no longer had anyone to turn to for money. .
