The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1398

Cindy also made a promise to Hannah that she wouldn’t fall for anyone within the industry, as she was disinterested in both the celebrities and the industry itself. Retrieving a bottle of water, she chugged it down before curling up in her bed.

She was certain that she didn’t like Ian, as her reason for staying by his side was because he was easy to handle. Heaving a sigh, Cindy reminded herself that neither did Ian fancy her, so she should stop imagining things. Thereafter, she shut her eyes before willing herself to fall asleep.

Her sleep wasn’t peaceful, so she woke up in a haggard state. However, she quickly freshened up so that she looked better before going to buy breakfast. She thought the paparazzi would’ve dispersed by the next morning, but those thoughts were proven to be wishful thinking. Upon stepping out of the hotel, she could see them still standing across the street with their cameras ready.

Meanwhile, the paparazzi had also come to recognize her. Seemingly in dire need of some gossip, they immediately began taking pictures of her as soon as she came out. With a frown, she quickly left to buy breakfast without a word, whereas the paparazzi waited at the entrance of the hotel, rushing over to her as soon as she returned.

All cameras were aimed at her, and someone even passed a mic over. They bombarded her with all sorts of questions regarding Ian’s whereabouts and his relationship status, as well as her opinion on the scandal.

It was the first time ever in Cindy’s life that she was put in such a position. In the past, the medias’ attention had always been on Ian no matter what happened, but they seemed to be in such dire need that they decided to direct their attention toward her.

With all of the paparazzi closing in on her in front of the hotel, Cindy almost yelped in fear while trying to get away from them. Fortunately, there were a few guards stationed at the lobby, who seemed to

have dealt with similar situations prior to that, as they quickly made their way toward Cindy upon laying eyes on the crowd in front of the hotel.

Grasping onto one of the guards, Cindy begged, “Please, help me! They’re all paparazzi!”

The guard with a sturdy build wore a frown as soon as he heard what she told him. Stepping forward, he bellowed at the paparazzi who were gathered at the entrance, “What do you think you are doing? Get out of the way! You’d better behave, or else I’ll call the cops!”

All the paparazzi wanted was gossip, not trouble, so they halted as soon as the guard stepped in. Meanwhile, Cindy seized the opening to enter the hotel, but not without first thanking the guards before she hurried to the elevators.

When she knocked on Ian’s door, he was already finished with washing up. Upon noticing that she was panting when he opened the door, he was startled. “What’s going on?”

Cindy closed the door behind her before stopping to catch her breath. “There are a lot of paparazzi in front of the hotel who crowded in on me as they couldn’t catch you. They gave me such a fright!”

Ian burst into laughter. “I see now. They sure work hard at their job.”

Pacing over, Cindy put the food down on the table. “I suppose they’re all trying to get a scoop about the scandal, but to be honest, what use is there in interviewing you? What do they even expect to hear from you?”

Ian sat down by the table before explaining, “They must be from tabloids who couldn’t get their hands on important news, nor were they able to secure exclusive interviews with agencies, which is why they had to resort to waiting in front of the hotel.”

Heaving a sigh, Cindy said, “But what they do annoys me.”

Ian wore a faint smile before commenting, “There are a lot more other things that can be potentially annoying. Compared to those, this is nothing.”

Both of them were munching on their food when Hannah gave Ian a call to ask if he was faced with any problems, by which she specifically meant problems with the paparazzi. Calmly, Ian replied, “There isn’t really a problem.”

Ian could always keep his cool no matter what happened, which was the main reason that Hannah liked him. She informed him about the arrangements made regarding the filming schedule for the variety show they missed out on last night. Aside from that, she also told him to speak up if he had any requests.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
