The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1957

Chapter 1957 Back to Work

Gary sighed. “A common misconception. I don’t really have any girlfriends.” A moment later, he added, “I’m too busy to handle a relationship, so I’d rather not start one. It’s called being responsible.”

“I see,” Cindy replied, but she didn’t know what else to say.

Gary looked at her for a while, then he looked away. “That’s why I envy Ian sometimes.”

Cindy blinked. She hesitated for a moment and decided not to reply to that. She knew she might have misunderstood him, but she wanted to end the topic right away.

Gary didn’t say anything else. When the food came, they dug in, and after that, he sent her back to the company. Just like how he did earlier, he parked his car a bit further away from the entrance.

After she got out, she turned around and waved to Gary. “Drive safely.”

Gary smiled. “Okay.”

She saw him off before she went into the company, and it was nearly time to work. The other employees were already there when she came back, though Cindy was surprised that Serena was there as well. She had some design tasks, and she gave them to some of the apprentices.

Cindy went back to her place and took her earlier draft out for some checking. She then put it aside and chose another theme to work on.

After Serena handed the apprentices the task, she told them what to look out for, then she looked at Cindy for a moment. There were a lot of employees in the company who landed a job through their connections, but Cindy was different. She seemed to be oblivious to the fact that someone helped her out.

Serena only looked at her for a few silent moments before she left, but because of that, everyone in the office started whispering among themselves again.

Cindy didn’t notice Serena looking at her, but the other employees thought that Serena was telling her that they would meet up in private again for another lesson.

Since Cindy wasn’t saying anything, the employees got bolder and started to talk loudly. Obviously, they wanted Cindy to hear them.

Cindy listened to them for a moment, then she went back to work. She finished another draft, and it went a lot smoother than before. Can’t put this off for too long, or I’ll be at a loss when I pick it up again. After going through some training for the last two days, inspiration was starting to flow smoother for her.

She went to Serena’s office and placed the finished draft on her desk. Serena was doing her work as well, so they didn’t even talk. However, when Cindy came back, the other employees said that Serena and Cindy must have talked in private.

Honestly, are they stupid? I haven’t been in Serena’s office for half a minute. How much can she even teach me in that amount of time? I just don’t understand how they can be this ignorant.

Cindy was reminded of the woman she met during lunch the other day, and she thought of what the woman told her. She’s a really brave person. She doesn’t care about what everyone thinks of her. Cindy was really impressed. She thought the woman had a point, and when she thought about the things she said, she cheered up again.

When it was almost time to get off work, Cindy took her phone out, but there wasn’t even a call or a text from Ian. Naturally, she was disappointed, but she could understand why. Ian must be busy. Since he was a newbie who never had formal training, she wondered if the director would scold him because of his amateur acting. Cindy wiped her face and packed her stuff up, but she waited until her colleagues were all gone before she left.
