Chapter 2169 Gossip

Cindy curled her lips upward in response. Although she did not come across a lot of serious trouble in her current

position, there were still times when she would inevitably find herself putting up with difficult situations. She was

then reminded of Lucy, whom she believed was a troublemaker, thinking the latter would cross paths with her again

soon.

I hate people like her. Did she approach me on purpose? Or was she too dumb to realize it was inappropriate for

her to do so? Damn it! Now that Gary is aware of this lady's presence, I hope this matter will only change for the

better. Alas! I just want to live my life and work my job peacefully. Is that too much to ask for?

After their meal, Aurora felt a lot better than before, but instead of returning to her room, she went to the couch

and turned on the television. On the other hand, Cindy went on to tidy up the table before she joined Aurora on the

couch.

However, she didn't fix her gaze on the television but instead reached for her cell phone. When she browsed

through the news on the internet, she saw a news report that rendered her stunned. While knitting her eyebrows,

she clicked her tongue and decided to view the content when she couldn't comprehend what the title was about.

Upon clicking into the webpage, Cindy realized it was a news report about Ian and Valerie, who were said to have

fallen for each other after having worked together in the same film. The report mentioned them being caught

winking at each other, and there were pictures of Valerie and Ian talking happily in the man's lounge.

Not only that, another picture showed them filming together as they hid in a corner and peeked at each other with

a smile. Although it could just be the camera's angle, the pictures made the two of them seem as if they were

acting clandestinely.

In truth, Cindy had always suspected Valerie and Ian, but after the issue went public, she changed her mind and

believed she might have read too much into it. Furthermore, Valerie swore on the internet a few days ago that she

would protect and sustain her relationship with her boyfriend, who was a lesser-known celebrity. Thus, she hoped

the public would give them more privacy and space.

Because of that, Cindy doubted Valerie would daringly wink at Ian after the promise she made, thinking she

wouldn't do something so silly. Furthermore, she had faith in Ian and believed he wouldn't betray her.

Aurora, who wasn't aware of the news, turned her attention to Cindy after she lost interest in watching TV. "What's

wrong? What's with the frown on your face? Did you see something that's bothering you again?"

She then asked calmly, "Are you worried about the matter related to Leah? Come on, we have nothing to do with

that, so there is nothing much for us to worry about. Just relax and trust the law, girl."

"No. It's not about Leah," Cindy answered after a brief contemplation.

"Are you talking about that man?!" Aurora sounded surprised as she gazed at Cindy in puzzlement.

"Nah, it's not him either." Cindy smiled helplessly and showed Aurora her phone. "It's about Ian."

Aurora, who initially sunk into the cushion, immediately sat up straight after hearing Cindy's words despite not

seeing the content of the news. "What? Is there gossip on Ian?" She reacted with a stern look on her face. "Come

on, girl. We all know what kind of person he is."

Aurora took Cindy's phone and began to read through the news article. As soon as she was done, she cursed the

reporters angrily. "Damn it! What's wrong with these people? Do they have nothing else better to do than making

up some cock-and-bull stories?! They should make use of their talent by working as a scriptwriter!"

Then, she returned Cindy's phone to her and consoled the latter, saying, "Don't trust this nonsense, my dear. It's

just fake news to help those celebrities gain popularity. You and I know who Ian is, and he'll never do such a thing."

Cindy took a deep breath and answered, "I trust Ian, that's for sure. I doubt he would do such a thing." She looked

at her phone while keeping her head down. "I'm curious, though—did he rub someone the wrong way again? It

definitely looks like someone is trying to drag him down with this news."
