Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1386

Ian had just made his debut recently, so all eyes were on him. Although Cindy was merely his

assistant, she knew people had a tendency to overanalyze her actions, so she was determined to not

cause Ian any trouble. She took her phone out, only to return it into her pocket after looking at the time

as there wasn’t a lot to go through on it.

The shooting session didn’t last that long, about twenty minutes at most. As soon as Ian returned

backstage, Cindy met him with haste. “How did it go?”

He seemed calm when he said, “It’s not bad.”

Right after he said so, Sena came to him with a bright smile on her face. “Ian, let me buy you a meal

later as a token of my appreciation.”

Waving his hand, Ian turned down her invitation. “You don’t have to thank me, as it’s just a part of my

job. I have other things to work on, so I’ll buy you a meal when I have time.”

A smile tugged on the corner of Sena’s lips. “Okay. I’ll keep this in mind, so you better keep your

promise.”

After a brief chat, Ian left with Cindy. As the program was under production, the celebrities were mostly

scheduled to shoot their parts separately. They bumped into two other celebrities and their assistants

while on their way out. Ian greeted both of them politely before leaving in the car. As soon as the car

drove off, Ian cast Cindy a glance. “Did you capture the scene?”

Nodding, Cindy fished for her phone, unlocking it to show him the video recordings from back when

they were in the dressing room. Ian lowered his gaze to check on the recording. The recording began

with a black screen, as the phone was in Cindy’s pocket during that time. However, it did capture the

conversation between Ian and Sena clearly, which proved that they only ever talked about the

upcoming competition.

Handing Cindy’s phone back to her, Ian seemed satisfied with the recording. “You look rather sickly, so

you should get some rest in the car later on instead of following me around.”

Cindy shook her head though. “It’s alright. All I need is a cup of coffee.”

Their next program was a variety show, in which Ian was invited as a guest. Most variety shows were

focused on its comedic effect, so Ian would be playing games and having fun while shooting, thus was

to an extent an easier task compared to the rest.

As the set was located some distance away, they had to spend more time in the car. While Ian took a

nap while leaning against his seat, Cindy was still having a headache, but she had a hard time falling

asleep, so she took out her phone to check on it, only to find that there were no calls or messages still.

She wondered if it was because she retaliated too harshly. After spending some time on the phone, she

heaved a sigh while leaning back on her seat. It’s so unfair that we can’t choose where we were born.

Meanwhile, Ian dipped in and out of sleep before waking up when the car stopped. Getting out of the

car, Cindy helped him carry the luggage. This time, Ian didn’t need to put on any makeup, as he was

only required to put on a different outfit. After entering the filming set, Cindy took out his clothes. “I’ll

leave them here.”

Turning around to glance at her, Ian said, “You should get some rest in the car. The program will take

some time, so I won’t come back out anytime soon. Besides, the crew might even accuse you of being

a disturbance if you stay.”

Cindy nodded while pursing her lips, knowing that Ian was in fact trying to give her some downtime.

“Call me when you’re done.”

With that, Ian left for the locker room with his outfit, whereas Cindy took some time to herself before

leaving, figuring that she wouldn’t be getting coffee since it was going to take a while. She lay down on

the back seats upon getting into the car. Because the driver was taking a smoke break, it was quiet in

there, so she closed her eyes, finally dozing off despite the headache.

However, her sleep was not peaceful at all, as the harsh words she said during her previous phone call

replayed itself over and over again in her dreams. To be honest, she regretted what she said as soon

as the words rolled off her tongue, but there wasn’t much else that she could do when she was plagued

with her own troubles. While she wanted to be more considerate toward her family, nobody was there

for her when she needed them to be.

Although it wasn’t a peaceful slumber, Cindy got quite a lot of sleep up until when the driver gave her a

shove. “Cindy, wake up! What’s wrong? Are you having a nightmare?”
