Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1402

Ian wore a cold expression while pursing his lips, as he knew the driver was right. Turning around to

adjust her position, Cindy wondered if she was being too sensitive, as she had a hunch that there might

be something wrong between Ian and his girlfriend.

When they arrived at their next destination, Ian was still looking morose. Although he wasn’t a cheerful

guy to begin with, Cindy could detect that he was unhappy. His displeasure essentially meant that he

would be silent throughout the shooting process. When Cindy and Ian got to the lounge at the filming

set, the other guest celebrities who were in it also pretended to be busy to avoid socializing with Ian.

However, he wasn’t in the mood to socialize either, as he even omitted the customary greeting.

His sour mood was apparent from the sulk on his face, but she figured the others might assume that he

was feeling upset because of the scandal. Therefore, Cindy did her best to keep a low profile while with

Ian as she didn’t want to make things even more difficult for him when he was already feeling down.

The shooting went smoothly, as Ian was now being feared due to the fact that he had overturned the

scandal online. Although none of the guests wanted to approach him, nor were they about to get onto

his bad side. Not wanting to be associated with his scandal, they kept a moderate distance from him.

The production crew ordered takeaway for them during lunch. Under normal circumstances, everybody

would have lunch together in the lounge, but Ian was a little grumpy, so he left to eat in his car while

pulling Cindy behind him.

Cindy could easily imagine that the other guests would be criticizing him behind their back as being

arrogant, but she couldn’t bring herself to care, as life was too short for such mundane concerns.

Meanwhile, the driver was astonished by their presence, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Did a fight break

out?”

Shaking her head, Cindy indicated to him that he should talk less for the day, so he obeyed despite not

really understanding the reason behind it. Ian didn’t have much of an appetite, as he put his lunchbox

down after just a few bites. Leaning against his seat, he seemed to be deep in thought, whereas both

Cindy and the driver exchanged a glance as they sat in their respective seats before deciding to feign

ignorance.

After a while, Ian’s phone rang. Cindy checked on him through the rearview mirror to see him fishing for

his phone before staring at it with a frown. Although she didn’t know who the caller was, she had a

feeling that it wasn’t anyone from the agency.

Sure enough, Ian picked up the call after getting out of the car. The call was from John, who read about

the news online just now. Almost insipidly, John asked over the connection, “Are you alright? It seems

like you’re just about settled though.”

Sniggering, Ian questioned, “Why would you suddenly care about me?”

John chuckled as well before explaining himself. “Why would I care about you? Sophia wanted to call

you, so I stepped in to stop her from contacting you.”

Well, he sure doesn’t mince his words. Ian said nothing, as he had nothing to say to John.

After a pause, John said, “It’s alright if you don’t want to talk, since I figured you should be alright. A

scandal like that is nothing in your industry, so you shouldn’t consider yourself a celebrity if you can’t

settle things on your own.” With that, he hung up before Ian could react.

Ian’s face was devoid of expression. Earlier, he was hesitating on whether he should tell John about

Sophia’s potential predicament as his so-called girlfriend. Although he never got to that point with

Sophia, he didn’t want to implicate her. However, John’s rudeness rendered Ian speechless, so he

figured he wouldn’t tell him. Instead, he would just take things one step at a time.

Meanwhile, back in the car, Cindy was taking a close look at Ian’s expression throughout the phone

call.
