Chapter 2040 Yulia’s Call
Wow, she just won't give up. Cindy took the call without asking Ian, and she turned the speaker on.
Ian asked. "What do you want?"
Yulia paused for a while, then she said, "I heard you're on leave."
Ian grunted.
Yulia organized her thoughts, then she asked, "Did you bring your girlfriend back to your hometown?"
How did she know about this? Hannah couldn't have told her. With how bad our relationship is, Hannah couldn't
have told her about it. Ian grunted again.
Yulia smiled. "So, are you getting engaged or married this time?" she suddenly asked.
Ian and Cindy froze up and looked at each other in shock. Nobody expected her to even know about that.

Bryce left me."
Yulia still sounded happy. "You don't have to be so defensive. I just want to say congratulations on your engagement
or possible marriage. I won't trip you up, so don't worry. If anything happens to you, I'm also going to get dragged
down."
Cindy stared at the phone.
Ian didn't know if she was lying or not, but he still said, "I'll announce it if it really happens."
"Sure." She lamented, "I'm not doing anything. I just want to say congratulations."
Ian paused for a moment. "Thank you, then. Even if you're not sincere about it, thanks for calling anyway."
Yulia hung up without saying a word.
After the phone call ended, Cindy turned around. "How did she know?"
Ian looked at her innocently. "I have no idea. Her source is too accurate for comfort. And you said Hannah doesn't
know what we're doing here, so she couldn't have found out through her. Did she guess it herself? But that's even
freakier."
Cindy couldn't figure it out either. If Hannah knew what they were doing, she would have called them, so Hannah
couldn't have known. Yulia couldn't have found the answer through Hannah, which meant she had other sources.
But who? Ian and I don't have any mutual acquaintances left. Maybe she did guess it herself, but if that's true, then
her instincts are crazy good.
Ian said, "It's fine. As long as we deny, she can't do anything even if her guess is correct."
Cindy nodded, but she still felt worried. "I feel sorry for you, Ian."
I feel sorry for myself too. Goddammit. I shouldn't have been polite to her back at the magazine photoshoot. I
should have just been haughty like other celebrities. If she hadn't thought I was leading her on, none of this sh*t

There were a few bodyguards outside the hotel, but they weren't there to keep anyone safe. Instead, they were
there to keep Leah from causing a scene.
Leah's sources were accurate as well, and she was an even more annoying woman than Yulia was. If she knew Ian
was back, she would probably come and harass them at their hotel even if she didn't know they were going to have
an engagement banquet.
God. Why can't I do one thing without anyone or anything trying to ruin it?
The stylist arrived on time and styled Cindy up, then she put some light makeup on for Ian, and finally, she styled
Aurora's hair as well as putting on some makeup for her.
When the stylist was done, the three of them looked great, and their makeup looks matched their outfits.
Logan came over right after they were done. He said the venue was ready, and they could start with the banquet if
the couple went over now.
