Chapter 1406


    John stared at Sophia for a while with a serious expression before finally deciding to ditch the topic. Whatever… She wouldn’t understand


    anyway. I guess the rumor that pregnancy affects the mother’s cognitive abilities is true after all.


    He spent some more time ying with the baby before taking him downstairs. Seeing that Sophia wanted to take a nap, he hugged her until


    she fell asleep. Lying in bed, John mulled over the situation before getting up and leaving the room to give Ian another call in the corridor.


    Ian picked up fairly quickly while speaking in an annoyed tone. “Why are you calling again?”


    John had a simr attitude. “Why don’t you make a freaking guess? Even if you aren’t worried about it, I don’t like the fact that Sophia’s


    identity is being uncovered.”


    After a moment’s pause, Ian told him, “Don’t worry. I will make sure that she doesn’t get involved. I will settle things my way.”


    However, John didn’t really trust him. “You’d better make sure that you resolve this without a hitch. Ian, you know me. While I would tolerate


    any other blunder, this isn’t one of them.”


    On the other hand, Ian wasn’t about to submit to John. “You know me too. I would never put her in harm’s way even if it means I have to go


    against the world.”


    What Ian said bordered on being a confession, which was something that irked John greatly.


    What the heck? Why would he even say that? He’s just another man who’s now unrted to my wife in any way! John hung up without a


    word due to how frustrated he was. Meanwhile, Ian was wearing a morose look while still holding onto his phone. After taking some time to


    calm down, he returned to the office. Hannah and Cindy were sitting in there, and thetter was still spacing out a little, yet to recover from


    the shock she received from what Hannah told her. Ian sat back down on his chair while looking at Cindy. “If you help me out, you will be


    entitled to make any request.” With a frown on her face, Cindy was still at a loss as to what he meant. “Can I literally ask for anything?”


    Before Ian could say anything, Hannah nodded. “Yeah. You can make any request, such as a sry raise or some other form ofpensation.


    I hope you will be able to cooperate with us on this. You have been working alongside Ian for some time, so I suppose you want him to thrive


    in the industry as well, right?” Cindy shifted her focus to look at Hannah. “I wonder if we will be able to pull this off though. It’s not that I


    don’t want to help, but as you can see, I am not really an outstanding person. Things will get even moreplicated if anybody exposes us


    because of me messing up.” Heaving a sigh, Hannah replied, “Yeah. Of course I know that, which is why we have to make sure to execute the


    n as wlessly as possible. Cindy, I trust you, which is a major reason why we asked for your help. I wouldn’t be asking this of anybody


    but you.” Such an outrageous responsibility was a little overwhelming to Cindy. She nced at Ian while saying, “I don’t know what to do, so


    I am afraid I might be a burden to you.


    ” Ian said, “We don’t need you to do anything. All you have to do is follow me around as usual, and I will take care of the rest.” Almost


    immediately, Hannah agreed with him. “Yeah. You don’t have to do anything differently. You’re still his assistant, while the agency will take


    care of the exnation. Just make sure you ignore the critics that you might receive so that you aren’t affected.” Cindy wasn’t the least bit


    convinced. After some thought, Hannah pressed on. “I suppose we don’t look very sincere since we have yet to show you what we are willing


    to offer. Well, I know it’s not very imaginative of me, but I am willing to offer you some financialpensation. What do you think?” Then,


    she gestured to Cindy to indicate the amount. “Will this suffice?” Meanwhile, Cindy was still staring at Ian, whereas thetter was wearing a


    frown, visibly disgruntled. Cindy never even looked at the amount that Hannah had indicated. After a prolonged silence, she eventually


    nodded. “I will do my best, but I hope you won’t me me if things go awry.” Hannah was immediately all smiles. “Of course we won’t!


    We’re d enough that you agreed to help! You can take it easy and leave the rest to us!”
