Hannah quickly dissuaded him. “Now calm down. I’ll handle this, so leave it to me. I won’t let you down. You’re both my artists, but I know what I must do. You’re my trump card, so of course I won’t let you lose out on this. I’ll talk to the company. Don’t worry. Let’s see what they’ll do next, but I’m sure everyone will be happy with the outcome.”

Ian didn’t want to force her to give Linda up, so he merely grunted. “I’ll give you until tonight. If I don’t see anything by then, I’ll have to defend myself.”

Since it was early, Cindy didn’t start cooking just yet. She ordered a few pots of flowers online a couple of days ago, and the delivery arrived on this day. She took it from the guard and went back to the living room. The pots and soil were all ready, which meant all she had to do was plant the flowers in them, and she’d be done.

Ian came out of his room after he called Hannah, and the first thing he saw was Cindy fiddling with her flowers. He planned to talk to her about how Hannah would handle the matter, but when he saw what she was doing, he knew she didn’t care about the matter at all. That made him feel relieved, since he saw how hostile the comments were toward Cindy.

She had already gotten a lot of haters when she was exposed as Ian’s girlfriend. Just when it finally died down a little, those b*stards dragged her down into a new scandal. She was just an ordinary girl, but she had to go through so much, and Ian feared she might break down. Cindy had a few supporters when she was announced as Ian’s girlfriend, but now nobody stood up for her.

This was the part Ian disliked about the entertainment circle. Relationships were supposed to be private, but everyone forced them to be open about it so they could critique them.

At that moment, Cindy was focused on her flowers, so she didn’t realize Ian was staring at her from behind. She hummed as she planted her flowers, watered them, and moved them to the balcony. When she came back and saw Ian, she smiled. “I got some flowers. They’re pretty.”

Ian nodded. “I saw them. You seem to be relaxed.”

Cindy sighed. “I’ve been dreaming about an elegant life. That’s what I want when I can live independently.”

However, reality was often disappointing. She was almost fully independent now, but her life was a total mess. There was no elegance; money was all there was.

Ian nodded. “It’s a nice dream. Life isn’t always good, but you have to make the best you can get. I bet anyone who marries you will be a happy man.”

Cindy smiled. Then, she went to wash her hands and changed her clothes.

Ian wouldn’t go out if he had nothing to do. He had no friends in the industry, and since he was in a scandal, he’d be the center of attention if he went out. Thus, the only thing he could do at home was watch TV.

Cindy thought about it, then she went to sit beside him. “Do you play games?”

Ian looked at her. “What kind of genre do you like?”

Cindy said a random one, but Ian nodded, to her surprise. “Yeah, I can do that. Wanna team up?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Cindy smiled. “Sure. I didn’t know you played that.”

Ian took his phone out. “It’s been a while though. I loved it when I had nothing better to do.”

“I see. I loved it back in my school days, but I got busy after graduation, so it has been a while for me as well.”

Both of them took their phones out. Since Ian had uninstalled it, he downloaded it back again. After that, they teamed up. Never in her life had she imagined Ian teaming up with her for a game session, but now they were doing just that, and at a time when they were in a scandal as well.
