Sitting up from the sofa, Ian checked on the throw that was draped on him. He took some time to chill before

walking up to Cindy. “Wake up. We need to go now.”

Cindy wasn’t deep in sleep, so she shot up as soon as he called out to her. Nodding, her eyes were still blurry from

sleep. “Okay. Let’s go.” She stumbled a little when she stood, but managed to head toward the luggage briskly.

On the other hand, Ian was picking up his own luggage. “I can do this myself.”

Cindy quickly shook her hands. “It’s fine. Let me carry them.” As she said so, she took the two suitcases from him.

Ian always knew that despite her small stature, she was in fact extremely strong. He had seen her navigate herself

without a problem while carrying two large suitcases before. Even his manager, Ms. Hannah Jones, commented

that Cindy was far more competent compared to the others.

Therefore, Ian didn’t fight her over the luggage, leaving the lounge in strides, whereas she followed behind him

closely with both suitcases in her hand.

 

Meanwhile, the driver had taken a nap himself when they finally got to the car. Upon seeing them, the driver took

the luggage before placing them into the car trunk. “Mr. Morgan, what took you so long? Did something happen to

you?” Ian apologized before adding, “We fell asleep in the lounge.” Chiming in, Cindy said, “I’m sorry. I fell asleep

when I should’ve woken you up.” The driver knew how packed their schedule was, so it was understandable that

they would feel tired. After the three of them got into the car, the driver started the engine before commenting in a

cheerful manner, “It’s hard being a celebrity. You hardly ever have any downtime.” When Cindy yawned while

sitting in the passenger seat, the driver turned to look at her. “The same applies to this young lady who is always as

busy as a bee.” She chuckled in response, but made no further remarks. Meanwhile, Ian was feeling a lot more

refreshed after the nap. Leaning back in his seat, he turned to watch the view outside the window. Nightlife had just

begun, and that was when the place would get lively when he used to sing in a bar. Taking his phone out, he

checked on it to see a message from Logan that inquired when he would be free to meet up. However, Ian didn’t

have an answer to that, as he already informed Ms. Jones early on that he wanted a full schedule, which was a

deliberate move on his part to make sure he wouldn’t have time to dwell on the negative things in his life. On the

other hand, Ms. Jones was also happy to do that, so she made sure to fill up his schedule for the coming six months.

 

Seeing that he didn’t know what to say, Ian decided to not reply to Logan’s message. The car pulled over in front of

a hotel after a while. Deftly getting out of the car, Cindy retrieved both suitcases from the car trunk before carrying

them into the hotel. After she got them booked into the hotel, Cindy got the keys to their rooms, then helped carry

Ian’s suitcases. All the while, Ian followed behind her, watching her leave the suitcases in the corner of the room

upon entering it. She knew Ian didn’t like people touching his stuff, so she rubbed her hands a little nervously while

asking, “Do you need anything else?” Ian sat down on the sofa. “It’s alright now. You can go get some rest.” It had

been some time since Cindy began working with Ian, but they were still acting formally around each other, as while

Cindy was more of an introvert, neither was Ian a chatty person. Even Ms. Jones commented that the other

celebrities would be more carefree with their assistants, whereas Ian and Cindy were the only ones who seemed

uptight around each other. Turning to leave, Cindy closed the door from outside, whereas Ian downed half a bottle

of water as he looked out of the window. Cindy was staying in the room adjacent to his. As soon as she got in, she

washed up as quickly as possible. Ever since she started working alongside Ian, she began working at a faster pace,

even cutting down the time which she used to shower. She changed into her pajamas after getting out of the

shower, then fell asleep in bed without even drying her hair. Meanwhile, Ian had a hard time falling asleep, so he

checked on the schedule for tomorrow that Cindy had typed into his phone.
