The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1385

Cindy could see that Ian didn’t want to return to the dressing room, so she pointed toward a nearby spot. “There’s a hall over there. Why not have a seat?”

Waving his hand, he declined her offer, choosing to walk over to a window before opening it to allow some breeze into the building. On the other hand, Sena was soon finished with her makeup, so she had her assistant go fetch Ian.

Due to the fact that the assistant had been working with Sena for some time, she looked down on other assistants. Walking over to them, the assistant didn’t even acknowledge Cindy, but she addressed Ian directly. “Mr. Morgan, Sena is ready, so she would like to go through a quick rehearsal with you.”

Ian hummed in response before replying, “Sure. Let’s go.”

While Cindy followed behind them, Sena’s assistant blocked her before she could enter the dressing room. “You can stay here. Our presence in the room won’t be of much help. Furthermore, it might even be a disturbance.”

There was a pause before Cindy spoke with an innocent look on her face. “It’s fine. I won’t make a sound while standing inside.”

However, the assistant wasn’t going to relent, as she was still blocking Cindy’s way. “Miss Sena doesn’t like being watched when she is rehearsing.”

While maintaining a soft expression, Cindy didn’t back down. “But I have to stay with Ian at all times during his rehearsals.”

Standing by the door, neither did Ian go in while looking back at Sena’s assistant. “It’s alright. She will be quiet, so she won’t disturb Miss Sena.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Taken aback, the assistant seemed like she had something to say when she turned to look at Ian, but nothing came out. Ian opened the door to see that the dressing room was empty, as everybody was gone from the room save for Sena. As if unaware of Sena’s intentions, Ian motioned for Cindy to enter the room. “Come on in.”

On the other hand, Sena was already in a new set of clothes, looking both exquisite and elegant. A frown crossed her face as soon as she saw Cindy entering the room alongside Ian. However, Ian gave Cindy his instructions before Sena could say anything. “You can sit on that chair, but try to remain as quiet as possible.”

Nodding, Cindy sat down without a word as meekly as possible, ignoring what Sena’s actions were implying, whereas Sena did her best to school her expression, covering up the annoyance she felt. It had been a few months since Ian’s debut, so Cindy had a fair share of encounters wherein other celebrities tried to blackmail him. A scandal would break out by the next day if Ian rehearsed with Sena in the room alone.

With her phone in her pocket, Cindy turned on the camera function. On the other hand, Sena couldn’t do anything about the situation as Cindy didn’t do anything to disrupt the rehearsal, so she had to stick with the rehearsal without making any suspicious moves. In fact, they never needed the rehearsal to begin with after having gone through multiple beforehand.

After some time, Cindy took out her phone to check on it, while Sena soon ignored her when she realized Cindy wasn’t recording. Upon finishing their first rehearsal, one of the crew came to inform them that the other celebrities would be needing the room. Standing up with a smile, Sena told Ian, “Alright. I’ll see you on stage.”

Ian nodded in return before telling Cindy, “Let’s go.”

The two of them exited the dressing room when the other celebrities were on their way in. Both parties came face-to-face before brushing past each other, taking note of Cindy’s presence beside Ian.

Later on, Ian would be moving to the preparation area to get ready for his stage appearance with Sena, but Cindy couldn’t go there, so she had to wait outside. There were a few chairs near her, so she sat on one, waiting for Ian while leaning back on the chair.

Sena’s assistant arrived soon after. She was slightly older than Cindy, and was a senior in her field of work. Most senior assistants looked down on newbies, so she only snorted while passing by, all the while casting Cindy a side glance. However, Cindy ignored her, as she knew while there were all sorts of people in the entertainment industry, snobs and sycophants were the most common among them all.
