Before Ian left for his room, he told Cindy, “There are new towels and toothbrushes in the washroom.”

There was a moment’s pause before Cindy replied, “Okay.” After he left, she went into the washroom to wash up

using the utensils she found. However, she didn’t bring her pajamas with her, so she could only sleep in the clothes

she was wearing.

Cindy could sleep practically anywhere, so the only downside to the arrangement was that her clothes were too

thick and heavy for her to feel comfortable. Nonetheless, she still fell asleep with relative ease.

If Cindy were her previous self, she might have a hard time falling asleep due to all the stress after the scandal

regarding Ian and her broke out. Now, she couldn’t bring herself to care anymore, probably because she didn’t

think things could get any worse. Anything would be fine as long as nobody died, and in case anything happened,

she had two hundred thousand in her bank account.

While Cindy was sound asleep on the sofa, Ian had a hard time doing the same while in his own bed. He went

through the news online to see that everything was going according to Hannah’s plan, which meant that scandals

pertaining to both Sena and his ex were basically settled.

Instead of feeling relieved, he was feeling suffocated as if his airway was blocked. After tossing and turning for a

long while, he got out of his bed and entered the living room. Cindy was already fast asleep, curling under the

blankets into a tiny ball. The curtains in the living room weren’t drawn, and the light shining in through the windows

provided ample lighting for him to take a good look at her figure.

Ian walked up to the sofa languidly before lowering his head to examine her. Without any makeup on her face, he

could see her face was clean even in the dark of night. When Hannah assigned Cindy to him, she told him Cindy

might be one of the few people who wouldn’t be charmed by his looks.

Despite having heard that, Ian didn’t really register it in his mind as he didn’t care much about things like that.

However, he realized Hannah might be right after watching Cindy closely. Cindy was indeed impartial to his looks.

Instead of feeling defeated, Ian was actually relieved, as he preferred to maintain a professional relationship with

his colleagues, so he needed someone who wouldn’t mix their personal feelings into matters.

 

Without warning, Cindy rolled over while talking in her sleep. “Money…” Startled, Ian took a step back in reflex

before stopping himself. With a frown, he thought, Money is all she cared to say… I wonder what she is dreaming of

to have even said that out loud. By the next morning, Cindy woke up early. It was already a habit of hers to wake up

earlier than Ian and buy him breakfast. After a quick wash up, she tied her hair into a ponytail before turning to

check Ian’s room. As the door was closed, she figured he was still asleep. She hesitated for a moment before

deciding against waking him up, going downstairs alone instead. When she left, she made sure to put on a mask

despite knowing that it wouldn’t conceal much, but she figured it was better than not having anything to cover her

face at all. To Cindy’s surprise, the area was quiet in the morning, and there were no paparazzis who swarmed in on

her. She bought breakfast somewhere near the house before rushing back. When she got back in, Ian was already

up and walking out from his room. The front of his pajamas was unbuttoned, so Cindy could see his bare chest as

soon as she laid eyes on him. Oh, wow… Although he looks thin, he is actually quite muscular. His pectoral muscles

look sturdy. Cindy quickly averted her gaze after a while. “I bought breakfast, so come eat after you’re done

washing up.” Ian was also slightly taken aback, for he seemed to have forgotten that there was another person in

his house. With a grunt, he covered himself up. To be honest, Cindy might be able to keep a straight face if he

hadn’t done that, but the fact that he did it made her blush. .
