Gary bobbed his head. “Since he’s on business, it’s fine, then. Let’s order.”
He ordered two dishes and let Cindy add on.
As the considerate man he was, he even ordered some corn soup beforehand, which the waiter
brought over when Cindy arrived.
Since Cindy had offered to treat him, she, by courtesy, shouldn’t be stingy on her food choices. Hence,
she decided to be generous and ordered a few more dishes.
It was only when the waiter left after taking their order that Gary stated, “I asked some of my
acquaintances in the entertainment industry, and they all said that Ian was being targeted. After all, his
sudden spike in popularity took away a huge slice of others’ profits. Those people couldn’t afford to sit
and wait.”
Cindy nodded. “I agree. Ian blew up too fast.”
Typically, whenever a celebrity rose to fame, many would come to stir up scandals for the famed figure.
Ian had a dreadful experience of it previously that revolved around his birth.
Nevertheless, the previous case wasn’t as influential as the case now. The masterminds pulling the
strings must have been dissatisfied with their failure to bring him down. Thus, they came up with an
even greater plan to fabricate and spread false rumors about his non-existent love life.
Gary poured a bowl of corn soup for Cindy. “I also asked them about ways to deal with such situations,
but they told me there were too many people involved in the making of the incident, so it’s rather touchy
to settle.”
Cindy let out a sigh of disappointment, at a loss for words.
After staring at her for a while, Gary suddenly cackled. “That’s odd. I don’t see any signs of frustration
on your face.”
Taken aback, she awkwardly scratched her head. “Ah? Are you saying I’m being too calm about this?”
Beaming, Gary nodded. “It’s a little too calm if I’m being honest.”
Cindy replied with a laugh, “It’s probably because too many things have happened to Ian recently. In
the beginning, I was undoubtedly anxious, but they were constantly repeating that I’m pretty much
immune to them by now.”
Gary pondered. “It’s true there has been abundant news about Ian lately. What about him? How is he
holding up?”
She attempted to recall Ian’s behavior earlier today, yet she couldn’t quite put it to words. It was similar
to hers. Neither hasty nor overcalm, he seemed somewhat unaffected by the drama.
Before Cindy could answer, Gary uttered, “It’s the same as yours, isn’t it? I can tell based on your
expression right now.”
Cindy then took a sip of the corn soup. “Perhaps we’re more open-minded. After all, it’s inevitable for
such things to happen in showbiz. Once or twice may tremble us, but more than that is virtually
practice. Besides, we have come up with a plan for the worst case scenario.”
Gary raised his brows. “Worst case scenario?”
Cindy chuckled and lowered her voice. “Your ears only, okay? Do not tell anyone about this. This is
what I have in mind. If things don’t turn back from going south, we’ll just go on as normal people. After
all, working nine to five isn’t that bad of an idea. There’s no need to force ourselves to remain in the
entertainment industry. Honestly, it isn’t my favorite way to live. Everyone’s holding a blade behind
themselves, as if there aren’t enough conflicts in this world.”
Gary peered at her. “It’s rare for ladies to possess such open-minded thinking like you do. They usually
like to mess around in the industry. Even if they aren’t famous, they would try to be by attending every
occasion.”
Cindy bobbed her head. “Well, I’m not very much into such a complex lifestyle. Rather, a simpler life
would suit me much better where I can enjoy my privacy without drawing too much attention, nor do I
need to face people pointing fingers at me.”
Hearing that, Gary let out a long sigh. “You’re quite the thorough thinker, young lady.”
He added, “I agree with you. I, too, think what you mentioned is much better, but many persist to dwell
in the industry despite the hardships that come along with it. What for, if not fame and wealth?
Everyone thinks that making banks is the way to go. But the way I see it, having enough is all that
matters. Unless we can spend it all, money is nothing but a bunch of numbers.”
