    Chapter 2002 Appointment


    Gary said gently, "No, I''m already awake. Do you need anything, Mr. Morgan? You texted early."


    Ian smiled. "Nothing, really. I just want to treat you to a meal. Cindy told me you''ve been helping her


    out, so I want to thank you."


    "Oh." A momentter, he said, "Aren''t you busy, Mr. Morgan?"


    "Not at the moment." He added, "The director''s an agreeable man. If I need to leave for a while, I can


    just tell him."


    Since Ian had said so, Gary replied, "I can adjust my time. It depends on you. I can work with your


    time."


    Ian took him up on that offer. "How does tonight sound? I''m free tonight."


    Gary answered readily, "Of course. Tonight it is."

    Ian said, "I''ll make a reservation at the restaurant. I''ll send you the time and locationter."


    "Sure," Gary said. Then, Ian hung up.


    The driver looked in the rear-view mirror, and he smiled. "Who was it? You were being really polite."


    Ian leaned back and heaved a sigh. "We owe him one. I didn''t want to be polite, but that would have


    been unbing of me."


    Yes, he didn''t want to be polite. He wanted to ask Gary why he was so nice to Cindy. They were all


    adults, and he should know where the lines were. It would make things ufortable for him and


    Cindy if he kept this up. However, Cindy did owe him a lot, so she couldn''t bring herself to ask him all of


    that.


    The driver didn''t know about the thing between Cindy and Gary, and he was surprised. "You owe


    someone a favor? Well, then that person must be quite capable."


    Ian agreed. He is capable, or he couldn''t have helped Cindy out so much. Ian knew who Mr. Kaufmann


    was. That man had single-handedly pushed Serena to fame. Serena might be a talented designer, but


    she did receive help from a lot of people. A lot of the famous designers in Paramount Group got to


    where they were thanks to Mr. Kaufmann, and some were even famous internationally. Knowing Mr.


    Kaufmann was proof that Gary was capable, and getting him to help Cindy proved that Gary was more


    capable than Ian thought.


    Ian felt frustrated, and it was gnawing at him. For some reason, he remembered Cindy telling him that


    she felt insecure every time she saw Yulia. Now, he knew how she felt.


    The driver didn''t say anything else. When Ian reached the set, the preparations were almost done, so


    Ian quickly went to get his makeup done and got changed. He wasn''t in his top form today, but luckily,


    the character''s mood aligned with his. The protagonist was supposed to be brooding due to jealousy


    and Ian was in a simr mood, so it was weirdly perfect. Even though Ian was spacing out a little, the


    take turned out well.


    At the same time, the moment Cindy reached her seat in the office, a colleague came over and asked


    her to have lunch together. Huh? I don''t know her. I don''t even remember where she sits. She didn''t


    know the woman, but she was sure that the woman was one of the employees who mocked her behind


    her back. She didn''t refuse her outright, but she didn''t say yes either. "We''ll see. I''m not sure about my


    lunch ns."


    Her colleague smiled. "Sure. Have lunch with us if you have time. The more the merrier."
