Chapter 1417


    Heaving a sigh, Cindy picked up speed. She chose to cook some simple dishes, so she was all finished


    within an hour. After serving the meal on the table, she called out to the men. “It’s time for dinner!”


    The driver stood up first. “I could smell the aroma since long ago. I’m practically drooling by now!”

    In the meantime, Cindy took off her apron before washing her hands, whereas Ian waited for her at his


    spot after casting her a nce. It wasn’t until she came back that they went to the dining table together.


    They had to admit that Cindy was indeed a good cook, for the food she prepared was much better than


    the takeaways. Slowly, she drank the soup she boiled, which was warming and made her stomach feel


    better. She began eating after that, and she wasn’t in a hurry at all as she ate. In this aspect, she was


    different from Sophia.


    Upon being reminded of Sophia, Ian also recalled that Sophia had a cheerful disposition, and that she


    rarely kept silent even when she ate. She would keep on talking while waving her hands around,


    sometimes even crossing her legs on the chair. In contrast, Cindy would sit quietly by the table. Taking


    a deep breath, Ian wondered what he was doing byparing the two women, so he quickly averted


    his gaze.


    On the other hand, the driver was delighted, all the whileplimenting how tasty the food was. Later


    on, he asked if she had a boyfriend out of sheer curiosity, to which she replied with a smile, “No, I don’t


    have one.”


    Heaving a sigh, the drivermented, “Why would a pretty woman like you not have a boyfriend? Are


    you being too picky?”


    Cindy chortled while reaching out for one of the dishes. “I’m not being picky, but I’m not really


    interested in finding a boyfriend at the moment. Since I just graduated, I figured I should make sure that


    I have a stable job and a secure source of ie before I consider dating. Isn’t this the norm?”


    Nodding, the driver went on to say, “That’s true, but I’m pretty certain that we are quite secure while


    working alongside Mr. Morgan, so you don’t have to worry about that. You’ll have to find a boyfriend


    one way or another, or else it will be a waste of your youth.”


    Cindy chuckled before answering, “It makes sense.”


    Now that they were on the topic, the driver turned to look at Ian. “Mr. Morgan, you should also find


    yourself a girlfriend. However, I suppose it won’t be easy now that you two are being marketed as a


    couple, as the public will use you of cheating on each other.”


    After giving the situation some thought, Cindy had to agree with him, all the while wondering how long


    she would have to be tied to Ian in such a manner. Without first separating from each other, neither of


    them could work on their romantic life, which could be slightly troublesome.


    However, Cindy realized that on the flipside, she might not be able to find herself a boyfriend anyway


    considering that she had to pay for her brother’s university tuition fees. No man would want to date a


    woman who had obligations elsewhere. Meanwhile, Ian was a different case altogether. With his age,


    he should have a girlfriend by now.


    After their meal, Cindy cleaned the table and did the dishes in the kitchen, which made Ian feel a little


    uneasy that he wound up approaching her. “Let me do the dishes instead.”


    “It’s fine,” Cindy said. “There aren’t a lot of them, so I can do this on my own.”


    There was a momentary pause before Ian told her, “Since you were the one who cooked, I have to do


    something in return.”


    Cindy couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “You paid for the ingredients, so that will do.” To her, it was


    natural that whoever paid for things would get to be exempted from other responsibilities.


    In response, Ian pulled his lips into a thin line while checking on the kitchen to find that it was already


    pretty much cleaned up. Other than washing the dishes, there wasn’t anything else to be done, so he


    left the kitchen hesitantly in the end.


    He spent some time watching TV with the driver before thetter bid them goodbye, leaving Ian alone


    on the sofa. After that, Cindy started preparing more ingredients, as she wanted to cook breakfast as


    well the next morning. Despite having flipped through a few channels, Ian couldn’t stop himself from


    repeatedly ncing at the direction of the kitchen.
