Chapter 1409
Ian had a simr article of clothing that was a matching set with hers, but the color was totally different, so Cindy wondered how they could
get it wrong. Putting her phone down, Cindy heaved a sigh upon realizing that there would be amotion ahead of them, which might even
lead to her identity being uncovered. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t afraid, asying her personal life bare to the public was never
something that she wasfortable with.
She was a humble woman who hadn’t been exposed much to the world, so of course she was feeling uneasy about it. At that moment, she
recalled the money she had in her bank ount. Well, at least I received a handsome sum from the agency. She decided she would bear with
the situation for the sake of the money, if nothing else.
The fact that she said nothing after reading thetest update surprised Ian, as he expected her to ask him about their next course of action
while putting on her puppy-dog eyes. However, she seemed to have grown ustomed to the role pretty soon. Ian tucked his phone away after
reading through thetest articles. “Why don’t you sleep in my room tonight? I can sleep on the sofa.”
Startled, she cast him a nce. “Do I need to stay? I thought I could leaveter tonight.”

Ian chuckled while replying, “I don’t think you’ll be getting anywhere even if you get out of the house. The media might very well already be
downstairs.”
Blinking, Cindy muttered, “They sure are annoying.”
Casually walking up to the window, Ian checked on the situation outside the house. “I suppose you should spend the night here. You can sleep
in the room while I take the sofa.”
Cindy lowered her head to examine the sofa that she was sitting on. It wasn’t huge, but Ian would have no problem lying down on it.
However, he was her superior to some extent, and she owed him money, so she was a little averse to the idea of leaving him on the sofa.
After some thought, she suggested, “I suppose I’ll sleep on the sofa instead. With your height, you won’t befortable sleeping here, but I
will be alright since there’ll be enough space for me here.”
Turning down her offer, he went on to say, “It’s not like I never slept on a sofa before this. You should just take the room
” Cindy wasn’t about to argue with him over that, so she changed the topic. “Since I’ve got some money, I’ll return the money you lent me.”
However, Ian unexpectedly replied, “It’s fine. Take it as a token of my appreciation.” Cindy was already swiping on her phone, so she lifted
her head to look at him upon hearing that. “Ms. Jones already paid me for acting as your girlfriend. Meanwhile, borrowing your money is a
totally different matter, so I will have to pay you back.” With a few taps on her phone, she transferred the money to him. Ian could feel a buzz
on his phone, but he didn’t check it. Back then, he knew Cindy was having a hard time, or else she wouldn’t be borrowing five thousand from
him. Initially, he assumed she would take the money just like that if he didn’t ask her to pay him back, but now, he came to realize she in fact
had staunch principles. After some time, Ian was ready to lie down on the sofa as he was tired, but Cindy was already there with a pillow in
hand.
She seemed ustomed to sleeping on the sofa, as she had one pillow under her head while hugging another pillow. Looking toward him, she
requested, “Give me a duvet. It might get coldter tonight.” He furrowed his brows, but soon reverted to his original expression. He was
never one to fuss over details, so he relented upon witnessing her insistence. Then, he got her a duvet from his room. Cindy realized the duvet
was brand new as soon as sheid eyes on it. In fact, most of the items in the house were new, as he never really spent time there. His
schedule was packed to the max, so he spent most of his time in hotels, which resulted in the house his agency prepared being left almost
untouched. After thanking him, she covered herself under the duvet.
