Serena didn't ask her to guess. She answered, "She wants you to work with her."
Cindy froze, apparently shocked. She wasn't even a veteran, nor was she an exceptionally talented intern, so she had no idea why Lucy wanted her. There was a conflicted look in her eyes. "Impossible. I'm not even a veteran. Why would she want me? It'd be bad for her team."
Serena chuckled. "Don't downplay yourself. But yes, she does have another motive in mind." Serena had a conflicted look as well. She wondered if she should say the answer out loud.
Cindy pursed her lips, staring at Serena. If Serena wouldn't say anything, she couldn't guess anything.
A long moment of hesitation later, Serena whispered, "She knows Gary."
Cindy paused for a bit after hearing that. Then, she said, "Oh, I see." But I still have no idea what that means.
Serena looked at her. She has no clue what that means, does she? So, she elaborated, "She likes Gary."
Cindy's jaw dropped, then she shut her mouth. She had no idea about that. A few moments later, she said, "So, she wants me to work with her so she can…"
Serena still looked calm as ever. Perhaps, she was surprised, or she had expected that was what Cindy would say. Once Cindy was done, she nodded. "If that's what you want, I won't stop you. Go back and start working. I can't promise you a lot, but I can promise I will teach you everything I know."
That was enough for Cindy. She stood up and bowed. "Thank you, Miss Warhol. I'll be going now."
Serena grunted, and Cindy left her office.
Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't expect Gary to have an admirer among the ranks of the company's designers, and he was already friends with the company's founder, too. Well, he is a brilliant man, not to mention single too. He should be expecting this. With a lot of thoughts on her mind, Cindy came back to her office. Once again, she whipped out the book Serena gave her and read through it. A hundred thoughts raced through her head, one of them being how she should talk to Lucy during lunch.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
