Chapter 1494 Nothing to Do

Naomi didn’t feel like Cindy was purposefully distracting her either. She turned to Cindy and said, “Something came

up at their company, so I didn’t stay for too long. Otherwise, it would’ve taken up a lot more of my time.”

Cindy nodded attentively. “Will your business trip be extended this time, then? Would you be able to settle your

company’s matters in a day?”

Naomi scratched her head and replied, “I’m not sure; there seems to be a bit of trouble. I’ll just request for an

extension from my company if I really need to. It’s pretty convenient.”

“Ah,” said Cindy. “I see.”

Just then, Naomi shifted her attention toward the studio building again. “It’s not my responsibility, anyway. I’m not

scared.”

Cindy took the opportunity to steal a glance at the sidewalk—Ian was already nowhere to be seen.

Naomi stared at the main gate of the building and raised her voice all of a sudden. “Could this really be God’s will?

Am I not destined to sneak a peek of a better man other than that cheating as*hole?”

Cindy chuckled as she looked around her thoroughly. Ian was nowhere in sight, but she didn’t know whether the

feeling in her chest was relief or disappointment. The two stayed behind for a short while before hailing a taxi and

leaving in resignation.

Meanwhile, Ian had already spotted Cindy as he sat in the car. There was a woman standing next to her and they

were chatting happily; it seemed like they were good friends. He seemed to have found the answer to the question

that was troubling him all night yesterday. It appeared that she wasn’t staying at home because she was with her

friend.

Come to think of it, this friend of hers probably wasn’t a local of the city, or Cindy wouldn’t have never brought her

up in their conversations before. As Ian leaned back in the seat, his driver spoke first. “I saw Cindy earlier; she was

with her friend.”

A few seconds passed before Ian replied, “Oh, is that so? I didn’t even pay attention. Was she on the sidewalk?”

“Yeah, I wanted to go and say hi, but her friend was there and I was afraid that they might be talking about

something important. You could easily be exposed if I greeted her anyway, so I didn’t do it in the end.”

Ian simply smiled without a word. After that, his driver sent him home and they said goodbye at the lobby. He

leisurely went up to his unit and went inside. Then, he briefly glanced at the empty living room and made a turn into

his room, standing by the window and gazing outside for a while before lying down on his bed. Although he wasn’t

sleepy, he didn’t have anything else to do, so he simply lay there silently.

He suddenly remembered how he used to spend his days. Now that he thought about it, he had almost forgotten

how he used to live. On days where he had a free schedule, he would come home and lie down for a while or watch

some television. Back then, he didn’t feel bored at all, so why was he feeling this way now?

Ian rolled over and whipped out his phone. There was an unread text message that had been there for quite some

time. He already saw it when he first received it, but he simply never had the mood to open it. Now that he had

nothing to do, he finally tapped into the message from Yulia.

The retouched versions of his photographs that were taken by her were out, and she had sent them over to him to

ask for his opinion. Ian wondered if Yulia was this considerate to all her clients as she was to him. Nonetheless, from

his experience of doing magazine cover shoots, even photographers that weren’t as well-known as Yulia had never

sent him his retouched photos before.

Moreover, Hannah mentioned before that Yulia had an eccentric personality; she even informed him to not take

things too personally if the woman happened to say anything rude or blunt to him.

With that being said, Yulia probably wasn’t an approachable person, so Ian couldn’t tell what she was thinking by

doing this. Whatever it was, he never once took it as a sign of a romantic gesture. After all, Yulia was considered

part of the entertainment industry as well; she must’ve seen countless attractive men and women through her

career.

Besides, someone with her level of status and ability had probably long since become immune to the sight of

beautiful people. Thus, Ian didn’t know which part of him was capable of taking up her interest, so he couldn’t bring

himself to make the bold assumption.

He held his phone in his hand for a while before he sent Yulia a message, telling her that he had just seen the

photos after concluding his filming session.
