The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 1394

The driver heaved a sigh. "It's all because of his fame. I hope he'll be able to overcome this, as life with him is comfortable. I don't want to work with other celebrities."

Cindy couldn't help but agree with him. Although she only ever worked under lan, she could appreciate that lan was more of a taciturn character who didn't give her much trouble, which made her life so much easier.

When filming at other sets, she used to see how the other assistants were being criticized and chided constantly, so she knew she had it easy in comparison. Therefore, she wished that lan would thrive within the industry so that she could remain with him. Besides, she still owed lan money, so she didn't want anything bad to befall him.

Meanwhile, the driver was also feeling slightly dejected upon knowing that things weren't settled yet. After ending the call, Cindy turned to cast lan a glance, only to replace him retaining his stoic attitude. In fact, he was so unfazed that Cindy was worried about him.

It wasn't until afternoon that Hannah called lan. As the call was for lan, she didn't dare listen in on their conversation, so she watched him from the side. However, lan kept a poker face throughout the call, so it was nigh impossible for her to even guess what he heard over the phone by observing his facial expressions.

The call didn't last long, as lan hung up after a while, putting his phone away. Upon seeing that, Cindy asked, "Is the call from Ms. Jones? What did she say?"

lan recalled their conversation before relaying the message. "She said we should take some time off. While the scandal hasn't had much of an impact, there are too many paparazzi out there now, so we need to keep a low profile."

Nodding, Cindy queried, "Did she tell you how the scandal will be handled?"

Glancing at Cindy, lan asked, "Why do you sound so afraid? Even if things go awry, I'll be the one who'll be bearing the brunt of it, so it won't affect you."

In a low voice, Cindy said while pouting, "I still owe you money though."

Although not that appropriate considering the circumstances, lan couldn't help but laugh. "I won't be going down that soon, so in the least, you'll still be working with me next month, while I'll still be able to deduct the money from your paycheck."

Without a word, Cindy hung her head low in grief. In the meantime, lan was planning to return to his room when his phone rang, which he realized was a call from Logan upon checking the caller ID. Judging from the fact that Logan went out of his way to read the articles online, he figured that Logan was in good spirits. Picking up the call, he greeted Logan.

But as soon as he did, Logan began wailing. "Ian, what happened? There are a lot of people criticizing you online for cheating on your girlfriend when you don't even have one! How dare those f*ckers criticize you when they don't know sh*t about you? Are you replaceing it difficult to open up about the truth? Why don't I hire some trolls to teach those people a lesson? Don't be scared! Tell me everything so that I can solve this for you! I'll definitely give them a taste of their own medicine!"

Smiling, lan chided jokingly, "You need to calm down. I can handle this on my own, so you should focus your attention on your wife and baby instead of worrying about me."

As soon as Logan heard that, he was riled up. "Are they replaceing fault with you because they think nobody has your back? I was reading the sh*t that people are spouting online. They're literally stepping on you to rise in the ranks! I'll have Lorraine teach them a lesson tomorrow! Don't you worry! I'll make sure they get what they deserve!"

Warmth coursed through lan's heart when he heard what Logan said. Throughout the years, Logan was always the first to stand up for him no matter what happened. With a smile on his face, lan consoled, "It's alright. This isn't anything serious, so you should just stay put. I can handle this. If a major slip up happens in the future, I'll make sure to come look for you."

However, Logan didn't care if it wasn't a major slip up, as he couldn't stand anybody messing with lan. His tone frigid, he said, "I'll gladly solve even the tiniest of incidents for you, as messing with you means crossing me! I'll make sure whoever did this pays for their actions!"

lan couldn't help but smile gently at Logan's words.
