The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2148

Chapter 2148 Are You Close to Gary?

Most of the people in the company are probably better than me. I'm not just the worst among Serena's students; I might also be one of the worst in the company. Cindy simply nodded at the person without saying much. Serena didn't bother to introduce the person, either. They simply went on with their meal before Serena continued to talk about Cindy's skills and the improvements that she could make.

The other person sat around and listened to their conversation. She laughed along every now and then, but she didn't interrupt their conversation. After they were done eating, Serena and Cindy excused themselves. The other person had also finished her meal, and she seemed as if she was eager to walk with them, but Serena was quick to draw her boundaries. "We'll head off now," Serena uttered.

Upon hearing Serena's words, the person slowed her movements down for a moment before nodding. "Go along. I just saw someone I know, so I'm going to go over to greet them." Cindy followed Serena over to the elevators. Both the public and private elevators were accessible from the canteen floor. Cindy didn't think much about this, but Serena was quick to head toward the private elevators, so Cindy simply tagged along.

Once they were in the elevator, and once the doors were shut, Serena turned around to question Cindy. "Are you close to Gary Frye?" she asked. Cindy was rather taken aback by this question. "We're okay. Why do you ask?"

Serena smiled. "It's nothing. I was just curious. Mr. Kaufmann asked you guys out for a meal previously, and I was thinking about how Mr. Kaufmann wouldn't have invited you if you didn't know Gary. It seems like you must be pretty close to Gary for you all to have a meal together." Perhaps Cindy had been closer to Gary in the past, but she simply found their relationship awkward at that point.
