The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1494

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?
