Chapter 2090 Valerie’s Scandal

As they hugged each other, they continued to be lovey dovey for a little longer before they got out of

bed.

Cindy went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast after she freshened up. The breakfast, which might as

well be considered as lunch, was two bowls of noodles because she didn't have the energy to cook a

better dish.

Ian was sitting at the dining table with his eyes fixated on his phone as she prepared their food. As she

came and passed him his bowl of noodles, she curiously asked, "What are you looking at? Did Ms.

Jones message another short essay to you?" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, she didn't. You are overthinking it." He laughed and tilted his head upward to look at her.

His gaze went back to his phone, and he only spoke again in a melancholic voice after a while. "I'm just

thinking about how suffocating it is to be a celebrity. There are a lot of things that aren't under our

control."

She was somewhat confused by his words, but instead of asking him, she went and got her bowl of

noodles with a smile before sitting down in the chair across from him. Then, she took her phone and

started scrolling through it..

Cindy hadn't initially paid attention to the headline of the news and was about to scroll away from the

news when she stopped abruptly as her gaze swept past the words in bold. A familiar name written in

the title had caught her eyes.

Valerie's name was mentioned in the title of the article.

Cindy paused for a bit, and eventually decided to click into it.

Valerie was seldom on the news, and even if she was, she would make headlines for her acting skills

or the awards she had won. For someone who rarely provided gossip material, it was strange that the

headline Cindy was looking at was solely about a scandal the actress had created.

According to the news, Valerie had stayed overnight with an actor at a hotel last night.

The article even revealed all the information that the media could get on the man, who turned out to be

a not so popular actor by any means.

Cindy was so surprised by the news that her eyebrows crinkled together. With her eyes still on the

phone, she said to Ian, "Did you see the article on Valerie's scandal? Goodness, I wonder whether it is

true or not. They even included all the details."

This was the exact news that he had seen earlier. "I wonder. We'll see what the media has to say in the

follow-up." He then put down his phone and started eating the noodles.

She smacked her lips together and read the news from start to finish.

The article didn't seem like it was written from groundless rumors or guesses since there were even

photos of Valerie together with the actor in the article.

In the photos, Valerie and the man could be seen enjoying a breakfast together at a hotel. She was

even wiping the corner of the man's lips clean so Cindy could understand why there was such a news

after sensing their intimacy in the photos.

Not only that, the man had his arm around Valerie's waist as they walked to the elevator after having

their meal.

The paparazzi who took the photos had also found out the room those two had booked at the hotel.

They even went as far as to investigate the places that Valerie and the actor seemed to have crossed

paths before.

It seemed that the actor had made a brief appearance in one of the movies she starred in on top of

having had some sort of interaction while promoting the movie.

Cindy couldn't help but think that the article could be true after reading the speculations. Putting down

her phone, she slowly shook her head. "I would have thought that a distinguished actress like Valerie

would date some big boss or another A-list actor."

She never imagined that Valerie would be in a secret relationship with someone not famous, but from

the looks of it, it was probably true love.

The article went on to describe the said actor's background. He wasn't from a rich family and had only

played the part in small-time roles before. Even amongst the parts that he had portrayed before, there

was nothing particularly memorable that he could proudly tell people about.

For someone as normal as he is, he must be giving it his all into his relationship with Valerie, Cindy

thought.

She didn't know how others took the news, but she was rather happy after seeing the news about

Valerie.

Before this, she had always imagined Valerie to be a potential threat, but it all turned out to be her

being oversensitive. Valerie was someone who had her own clique and romance, after all.

The thought of how paranoid Cindy had been almost seemed comical at this point. She went off and

cleaned her bowl after her mood had brightened. In that instant, she seemed much better than she was

before.

She gave herself a quick grooming after she finished her lunch. Then, she asked Ian, "Do you want me

to go with you to the company?"
