The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2121

Chapter 2121 Coming Clean

Cindy was quite glad to hear Ian say that. Once Aurora had an agency, she would have some backing as well.

If more sticky situations popped up in the future, she could let the company handle them.

Even though her income might decrease, her resources would increase anyway. After some careful calculations, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

Cindy said, "That seems nice. Aurora's work in the future would be assured, and you might even get more chances to work with her too."

Ian smiled and mumbled, "Can't say for sure."

He then added, "We'll see."

Cindy didn't think too much about it, whereas Ian asked Cindy what she was doing.

The woman then told him briefly about her sketches.

Ian didn't have too much free time, so they could only chat for so long before someone called Ian, telling him that the filming was about to start.

They ended the call and Cindy flopped on the bed, her pen still in her hand.

She held the pen up to look at it. Humans never know satisfaction, she realized. Every time she thought about how difficult it was for her to meet Ian, she would feel like crying.

However, the more she thought about it, she noticed that their days had vastly improved from what they once were.

To be more precise, her days had gotten better. She didn't have to worry about money anymore, and she could do the things she had always wanted to do at the very least.

For example, the pen in her hand allowed her the opportunity to draw the things she wanted to draw.

This was something she never even dared to imagine before. As such, humans needed to learn to appreciate what they had.

Meanwhile, Ian tidied his makeup, hair, and outfit before he walked over to stand in front of Valerie.

Valerie was obviously in a bad condition, and even her heavy makeup couldn't conceal that.

They had been redoing the scene a few times, and the director even pulled Valerie aside to have a word with her. Ian didn't know what they had talked about, but judging by Valerie's behavior, the director's advice wasn't really working either.

The two repeated the scene once again, but the director still stopped them halfway through since he wasn't satisfied.

Ian could see that Valerie was getting anxious as well. She was a talented actress, so the continuous retakes were making her feel defeated.

The director was at a loss, and he suggested they film the next scene first.

In the end, the next scene was still a no-go. With Valerie's condition like that, her expression in every scene was severely lacking.

The director didn't dare to reprimand Valerie too much either. She was too popular and important to their advertising, so the director didn't dare to offend her too much despite his backing.

As such, the director could only wave his hand. "We'll rest some more. Take a break."

Ian looked up at Valerie and asked her, "What's going on? You don't seem to be performing well these days."

Ian looked up at Valerie and asked her, "What's going on? You don't seem to be performing well these days."

Valerie took in a deep breath and turned to look at her rest area. She probably didn't fancy going there.

Hence, she gestured toward Ian and followed him to his area instead.

The driver was like a spy which Cindy had placed there. When he saw Ian and Valerie getting closer, he hastily walked over to them and passed a towel and some water to Ian.

However, Ian knew that the driver was keeping an eye on his and Valerie's every action.

To be honest, with so many people present, what could they do in front of so many eyes? NôvelDrama.Org © content.

The two seated themselves before Ian asked, "There has been some news about you circulating online. Are they true? Have you been affected by them?"

Valerie pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before nodding.

Perhaps because Ian had saved her before and gotten hurt in the process, Valerie felt an instinctive sense of trust toward him. This time, she came clean to Ian right away.

She said, "My relationship with him is the real deal. We've been dating in secret for more than two months, but I didn't expect that our relationship would be revealed like that. He's very stressed right now, and we've been constantly arguing these days."
