Chapter 1464 Asking for Help
Cindy turned to look at Aurora. She talks about everything she has experienced in the past with a smile, but she
probably feels uneasy deep down inside, she thought to herself. After a long time, she responded, “Ms. Jones, Ian’s
agent, is very nice and capable. She dislikes flattery, but she likes people who do things in a clear and efficient
manner without mincing their words. If you can get on good terms with her, you’ll probably do well in the future.”
Aurora looked at Cindy for a moment and smiled. “Okay, I got it.”
The two women then chatted about the trivial matters in life as they prepared dinner together. On the other hand,
Ian paced a few circles in the living room. The TV was on the whole time, but his eyes never fell on it. After pacing
for a while, he turned to look at the kitchen. The two women seemed to be getting along well as they talked and
laughed in the kitchen. Seriously, how could these two women get along so well when they share nothing in
common in life? he thought to himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIan stared at them for a while. Then, as he had something else on his mind, he turned around and entered his
room. He had few acquaintances and lacked connections with the circle of capitalists. Therefore, he ended up
calling Logan.
Logan answered the phone very quickly with a merry laugh, and it sounded like there were several people around
him. Ian lowered his voice and asked, “Are you busy, Logan?”
“No, I’ve never been busy,” Logan answered frankly. Then, he continued, “Guess where I am right now—I’m at
Sophia’s place, and her son is simply too adorable. I’m telling you, I must have a daughter to scourge her son with
in the future.”
“Oh,” Ian responded. “Is that so?”
“Haha!” Logan laughed on the other end of the line. Then, he asked, “What’s up? Why are you calling me at this
hour? Do you have something to talk to me about?”
Ian had never stood in ceremony with Logan, so he replied, “Yes, I’d like to ask a favor of you.”
“Ah,” Logan replied. “Just hold on a minute—I’ll be going outside right away.” Some rustling sounds were heard on
the other end of the line, followed by the sound of someone’s footsteps. A few seconds later, Ian heard Logan say,
“Just tell me what it is. Are those b*stards bullying you again on the internet? I’ve told you that I have to teach them
a lesson. I’m an expert at calling names. I’ll hire some trolls tomorrow to give those haters hell.”
Ian laughed for a moment before quickly telling Logan to dismiss the idea. “No, no, that’s not why I’m calling you.
These matters are already over. Now, there’s something else I’d like to ask for your help with. Could you please do
me a favor?”
“Hey!” Logan responded. “Is it necessary for us to say the word ‘please’ to each other? Just tell me how I can help
you. If I can do it, I promise that I’ll never turn you down.”
Ian let out a sigh. “It’s my mom. She came to me, saying that she wants to re-enter show business. You know what
kind of person I am; I have few connections and resources, so I can’t be of much help to her. I was wondering if you
could help me ask Lorraine to fix her up with some jobs. There’s no need to find jobs that pay well. It’s fine as long
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmas my mom gets to show her face.”
Logan was somewhat surprised. “Why did she go to you? Isn’t she doing well in life for now? She should be doing
fine by occasionally singing in bars in that small town. Is she trying to ride the wave of your popularity now that
she’s seen how popular you are?”
Ian paused for a moment before he replied, “She said she had split up with the man and wanted to try her luck in
show business once again. She told me a lot, but I couldn’t be bothered to analyze whether everything she said was
true or false. I just think I should help her as much as possible since she’s my mom. She probably has been
resentful over the years. Now that she’s finally seen a glimmer of hope in me, I really don’t have the heart to turn
her down flatly.”
At last, Logan could only reply with a sigh, “Okay, now that you’ve asked me, I’ll definitely help you. I just hope that
her re-entry into show business won’t have too much impact on you. She hasn’t taken good care of you in the past,
yet now she wants to ride the wave of your popularity to benefit from it. Ian, I really think of you as a close buddy of
mine, so I’ll be blunt with you—I think your mother has done you a huge disservice.”
“Hehe.” Ian chuckled upon hearing Logan’s words. “Never mind, it doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t want to make a
fuss about it anymore at this point. So many years have passed, after all—there’s nothing that I can’t get over and
have to make a fuss about.”
