The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1855

Chapter 1855 They Were Convinced by My Beauty

Aurora didn't know what was going on, so she had to quickly play along and ask, “What's the matter? What good news? Let me hear it.”

As Ian had already known about it, Cindy couldn't pretend anymore. Hence, she could only honestly reveal that she had applied for the job at Paramount Group earlier today and was hired on the spot.

At first, he smiled as he listened to her explanation, but when he heard that the hiring employee had a change of attitude toward her instantly, the expression on his face froze.

Aurora didn't think too much about it, but she was definitely surprised. “Her positive attitude toward you was quite sudden. Was it because she was impressed by your resume and the university you graduated from?”

She was embarrassed to admit that there was actually nothing good on her resume, and her university was not one of the best either. Thus, it was impossible that the hiring staff would be impressed by her resume and her alma mater. Such a big company like Paramount Group contained every single kind of talent imaginable, and her resume was probably at the bottom of the list.

Cindy shook her head and replied, “I would rather believe that they were convinced by my beauty.”

Aurora laughed beside her. “Alright, it's okay too if you think so.”

They were talking and laughing while Ian’s expression was stiff, but neither Cindy nor Aurora looked at him. After laughing, everyone sat down to eat. Cindy had cooked several dishes today that contained meat and vegetarian dishes, full of colors and flavors. The driver helped to bring the dishes to the table, and commented while busying himself, “The dishes are making me drool.”

She wasn’t sure whether he was saying those words out of politeness, but she was extremely elated. As there was also wine in the refrigerator, she opened two bottles. Considering that the driver needed to drive, only Aurora, Cindy and Ian drank during the meal and talked about the things that the driver experienced while working in the company during this period.

The driver used to complain about those incidents, but now he completely turned them into jokes. He said that in the beginning, Hannah had him drive a popular female celebrity in the company, but the woman had rejected him because she said that the driver wasn’t thoughtful or caring enough. Thinking that perhaps female celebrities were more sensitive, Hannah assigned the driver to a male celebrity instead. As a result, the male celebrity was even worse as he made the driver run various errands, not only treating him as a driver but as his own exclusive servant. The male celebrity also had a personal assistant by his side who was treated even worse than the driver on a daily basis.

Cindy knew the two celebrities that the driver was talking about, but she was a little surprised. She had never dealt with them in the company, but only met them when they walked by. It left her thinking that these two were lovely people who were friendly and didn’t have any air of pretense. Who knew that they were such challenging people to deal with?

The atmosphere of the meal was excellent in which everyone was laughing and talking. The food was well cooked too, so it was obvious that everyone was satisfied after the meal. The driver didn't stay for too long as he claimed that he was bloated after eating and wanted to head home to sleep. Thus, Cindy and Ian walked him to the elevator, watched him leave, and turned back home.

Aurora had drunk some wine and was leaning on the couch, feeling a little drunk. Actually, Cindy's cheeks were flushed too, but since she only drank a little, she wasn’t drunk. Then, Cindy went to the kitchen to boil hot water and thereafter poured a cup of it for Aurora before bringing it over. “Do you want to lie down for a while?”

Aurora waved her hands and stood up from the couch. “I'm going home. I’ll go home and sleep.”

Although Aurora drank a lot, she was not completely drunk yet. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and tidy herself up before saying goodbye to Ian and Cindy. As they lived in the same community, Ian and Cindy didn't send her off. Waiting for Aurora to leave, Ian hugged Cindy from behind and leaned toward her neck with the smell of alcohol in his breath. His intention to kiss her was plain obvious.
