The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1474 Hi, Frye

Ian then glanced at her. “Indeed, you’re taking advantage of me.”

When she heard that, Cindy couldn’t hold herself back and burst into laughter.

Then, the two of them walked side by side into the studio. This time, the attitude of the people around them was significantly different; some of them even came over and greeted Cindy. Back when the scandal was circulating wildly, the same people were constantly giving her disdainful looks.

Despite that, Cindy lifted her commissures and responded to their questions with a respectful smile, “I’m fine. It’s all good. No problem.”

Among the crowd, a few of them spoke as though they were defending her. “That’s so awful of Miss Linda to do that. Not only did she keep quiet, she even tried to manipulate the public. If that’s not stepping on Ian for power, I don’t know what is.”

However, Cindy remained silent as she simply smirked. After all, it wasn’t like she was in a position to do so anyway. Under such circumstances, whatever she said would certainly be overanalyzed. Since she was aware of that, all she could do was react with a beam.

After all, only God knew whether those words were sincere or merely spoken to bait something out of her. The people would say, “First there was Sena, then there was Linda. Oh, poor Ian, everyone he approaches is a jinx. By the way, don’t Linda and Ian share a manager? Did they purposely target you because of the incident with the resources?”

Cindy maintained her smile. “Honestly, many of the incidents were caused by the marketing team. If people weren’t blindly spreading the news, things wouldn’t have gone this way.”

With that, the gossipers simply chuckled. “That’s right! These marketers… As if the world isn’t chaotic enough!”

Cindy, who wasn’t actually trained for entertaining such small talk, got a headache after talking to those people. Eventually, she came up with an excuse to sneak out, claiming that she needed to use the bathroom. After standing at the sink in the bathroom for a while, she guiltily scanned around. When she made sure that no one was around, she started pacing toward the staircase in a hurry.

Since Ian’s program was rather lengthy, Cindy went straight down the stairs. There were many studios in this building as other programs were also being shot at the same venue. Soon, Cindy grabbed a seat in an unoccupied lounge downstairs and heaved a sigh as she lay against the back of the chair.

After pondering for a while, she sent Ian a text, informing him that she would be downstairs if he couldn’t find her after the recording. After a short while, someone else came in and sat beside her before Ian was done.

Cindy assumed that one of the assistants was looking for a spot to take a break, so when she turned around to face the person, she was taken aback. She was so dazed that her eyes were wide open. “Are you perhaps Mr. Gary Frye?”

The man glanced at her. He looked as though he wanted to laugh as he replied, “Why are you so startled? Am I that scary?”

Cindy hastily waved her hand and denied by saying, “No! It’s not like that.” Although she wanted to explain herself, she was at a loss for words and forgot what to say.

Gary Frye was not a superstar in the entertainment industry, but he was a famous figure in the finance sector.

After mumbling for a while, Cindy finally said, “Are you here to record a show?”
