Chapter 269 | #ianistaken

The article was released two days ago, and the hashtag #ianistaken was trending for days.

The article that said Ian made it officially made my heart drop to the floor! Ian is off the menu? I mean, not like they're married. We still have a chance although #Ianistaken

@JiantJia

This is almost a little too unbelievable that Ian is dating Raelynn out of the blue. I mean, for all we knew there were several rumours about it, but that was it. But look what we found!! Happy for them, totally! #ianistaken #happy

@cute.as.ducks

The fact that Ian got into acting, and now made his relationship public truly tells a lot of things that are yet to come! Wow! I'm shocked at the same time, but, way to go Ian! #ianistaken…. #REALLY?!

@HairyPoppins

Okay, so about this article I've several concerns. First of all, the writer or whoever wrote this article is anonymous and that's sus as fuck. Then, Ian's name was written over and over as if he is doing some big crime by dating someone he simply likes. And, as we all know Ian is someone who plays with his creativity as if it's nothing, yet never ceases to amaze any of us with his amazing work. And apart from giving so many wonderful movies, I can't believe why anyone would be angry about Ian having a girlfriend. For all I see, these women are just bitter about Ian being off the market. It's so good that #ianistaken. We'd get to see more of the mysterious man who loves to hide.

Okay, the article says, "Ian released the pictures after noticing how people were questioning their relationship." While that is true, I'd like to say to all the girls, you missed your chance! So, just, stop whining here, and go get work done. #ianistaken and it's #awesome.

While the Nweets were getting more and more interesting, Ian and his PR team started to read about what was happening.

Maxin, who was the PR manager, had a worried look on his face as he kept reading all the comments to the article.

"How is this going to affect his image?" Murphy asked as quickly as possible when he saw several girls spamming Nweets saying how it is extremely unfair for Ian to be taken so soon.

"Well, for now, girls are angry that Ian is dating Raelynn and the men are being surprisingly supportive of it. But the person who wrote the article is silent. I find that extremely suspicious because this is their only article. And it already got so much exposure that the username, although it's anonymous is trending in Nwitter."

As Maxin said that, it was clear that he was feeling both apologetic and guilty about the fact that he couldn't do anything about what was happening.

While the team and Murphy were discussing the issue, Ian had his face neutral the whole time. It was almost as if he had a lot to say, but the audience didn't suit his thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" Murphy asked in a hushed tone.

"I need to talk to Raelynn before anything."

[At the set]

Ian walked inside with so many thoughts in his mind.

Just as he was getting into the rhythm of acting, getting used to working around with another director and simply doing his work out of the radar of public eyes, something like this came up.

At some point while he was talking to Raelynn, they both knew that they wanted to make the relationship public, one thing they both didn't know was that the public would find out about their relationship through an article, that too, was written by someone who they weren't able to find.

The most concerning part of it all was how the pictures were taken sneakily from their date the night before.

"Ian!" Brad's voice came from the other end of the room.

"Good morning, wasn't the best morning," Ian said as he got closer.

"Already read the same article more than thrice. How are you feeling?" he asked, knowing Ian wasn't doing good.

But knowing and hearing things could be different, which was exactly Ian's reaction.

"Honestly, I'm glad it is out in the open, but my only worry is the timing. I was about to reveal it, but eh, all happens for a good reason."

In another way, what Ian wanted to do was to reveal during the premiere of Inception, so apart from the movie, the public will also have some other thing to hype about. But, what happened was something entirely different.

"Shit happens, Ian. Let's get to the scene," Brad said convincingly, after a pause he decided to change the subject.

"Today's scene is mainly focused on the sad side of Sean Davidson. I want Sean to look a lot sadder than he did before in front of people. And as we both know, the character is someone who'd rather show the sad side to himself than the people around him. So, I think it should be shown… And, I'm sure you'd do it in one shot, let me know when you're prepared after makeup."

….

"... And action!"

Ian walked inside the set that looked as if it was Sean's bedroom.

Grey walls, Gray furniture, but in the room, the only thing that had colors was the picture of Kiara.

Kiara's eyes were shining from happiness in the picture. As her hair was all over the place. It was of a picture that was taken of the character Kiara, while she was laying on the bed, looking at Sean with eyes full of love.

It was cheesy but sensual.

In a room full of Grey lights, it showed how much Kiara meant to Sean.

Sean walked inside, his eyes focused on the floor as he looked extremely upset and unhappy.

"Action…!" Brad said again, from the microphone, telling Ian to move further in the script.

As he walked in, he took a quick look around the room. Everything was in order. From the bed to the walls, everything was in order.

Immediately, Sean knew that it wasn't him who had cleaned almost everything. Instead, it was Kiara.

The story reached its climax.

Sean looked around and bent down to grab the corner of the bed. He flipped it upside down, and the mattress, bed sheet, and everything scattered on the floor.

He looked at the walls, just to see the pictures that showed his extremely grey life. He took the pictures and threw them on the floor.

"Fuuck!" He yelled across the room.

…..

"Cut!" Brad shouted back. "That was it, Ian! That was it! It was a great one! Let me take a look! I'm sure this is great!"

He walked back to his little monitor to see how the shot was.

As Ian knew it would take a little time, he walked back to the make-up room to get his face touched up a little.

"Can you touch this side up?" he asked the woman who immediately nodded and obliged.

"You're getting texts and calls," Murphy handed the phone to Ian just to see four texts from Maxin.

| Maxin @3.45 pm |

Sir, found who shared the pictures. Call as soon as possible.

Ian frowned as he took a second glance at his phone.
