    Chapter 2109 No Peace of Mind


    Nheless, Ian didn''t release his hold on the man''s cor.


    The man''s knee was in pain. He had wanted to double over to hold onto his injured knee, but with Ian


    holding him by the cor, he found himself in an awkward position. He wasn''t sure what he was


    supposed to do.


    Meanwhile, the younger man who had popped out of his unit earlier scoffed in contempt as he


    snapped, "How disgraceful for a grown man like you to mistreat a youngdy that way!" It looked like


    he wasn''t someone who followed up on thetest entertainment gossip, for he didn''t recognize Ian and


    the man who had caused a ruckus earlier today.


    After holding onto him for a while, Ian decidedly hurled him aside and turned to assess Cindy


    frantically. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"


    Cindy shook her head in response. The man had clutched her wrist a little too hard just now and


    caused it to tingle in pain, but she was unscathed otherwise. In truth, she could tell that the man had no


    intention of hurting her; he only wanted to see Ian and Aurora desperately, and in a fit of anxious rage,


    he ended up putting too much force into his grip.


    Ian caressed her face gently and muttered, "Are you still going to work? Why don''t you just stay at


    home and rest?"


    She nced at her watch and saw that she could still make it to work in time. "I have to go. Do you


    think you can handle things here? I have to get going now."


    He sighed in resignation and answered, "Fine, go on. I''ll take care of things here."


    Cindy shot the man a brief look and saw that he was still cupping his knee. She had admittedly packed


    quite some strength into that kick, and she had a feeling that if she had gone on with her initial n to


    kick him in the crotch, he might''ve very well lost his family jewels.


    Presently, she hailed a passing taxi to take her to thepany. Along the way, she scrolled through her


    phone and waited to see if there was any more news that followed up on the man''s ruckus earlier


    today. Now that Ian had ventured out of the apartment, the man would undoubtedly badger him to talk


    things out instead of letting him go back home.


    If that came to pass, surely the online tabloids would have a field day.


    I guess the audience will be getting bonus gossip. Lucky them, she thought dryly.


    Cindy sighed a little despondently. As things were, it would take some time before she could finally


    have a quiet and peaceful life with Ian. After all, it seemed as if drama was intent on sticking to them.


    She arrived at thepany right on the dot, only to see that most of her colleagues were at their desks


    sketching and scribbling. She could tell that they were pretty devoted to their work since none of them


    even noticed that she had returned.


    She had to admit that there was something attractive about her peers'' dedication to their work. In fact,


    she preferred them like thispared to the times when they had gossiped about her behind her back.


    Cindy was somewhat unsettled as she sat at her desk; she rolled up her sleeve to check the skin on


    her wrist and realized that it was still red. She wasn''t in the mood for sketching either, so she perused


    her documents as she leaned into her seat. However, as the words jumbled up before her eyes, Cindy


    came to realize that she couldn''t focus on reading at all.


    She wanted so badly to text Ian and ask him if everything was alright, but she was worried that he


    might still have his hands full while dealing with the aftermath of themotion just now, so she


    decided to sit and wait for news toe to her.


    At some point, Serena came into their workspace to take a look at how the apprentices were doing.


    She saw that while everyone seemed engrossed in their sketches and drafts, Cindy sat at her desk


    scanning some documents, and she looked as if she was the most at ease among her peers.


    Serena was surprised by the sight of this, so she walked up to Cindy''s desk and assessed her. When


    she saw how serious Cindy looked while reading the documents, she did not say a word and merely


    eyed her for a long moment before turning to walk away.

    For the rest of the day, Cindy felt listless even though she hardly did any real work at all. There were


    times when she had to force herself to get some actual work done, but inspiration never graced her


    with its fickle presence.


    She thought it was meaningless to do work without inspiration, so she spent her time trying to readjust


    her momentum and sort out her feelings.


    After ncing through yet another document, she pulled out her phone and tried to search for news on


    Ian that might have popped up during thest few hours.


    When she scrolled through the online news tforms and saw nothing, she wondered if the incident


    had been covered up or if it had yet to blow up. Since she was feeling uneasy about it, she texted


    Aurora and asked how things were going at home.


    Aurora''s reply was quick, and all she told Cindy was that everything was fine and there was nothing to


    worry about.


    Cindy thought that she wouldn''t be reassured until she went home to take a look at things for herself,


    though Aurora''s text didfort her for a moment and gave her some peace of mind.
