The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2164

Chapter 2164 Pulling a Few Strings

Lucy waited by the door until Cindy walked past her before saying, "I got a little curious when I happened to pass by and saw you working overtime."

Cindy responded with an indifferent grunt and a nod. Despite her dislike for Lucy, she didn't dare to go head-to-head with her. "Well, I was given the order to work on, so I just wanted to use my time wisely." She gave a reasonable reply.

Lucy seemed surprised and furrowed her eyebrows. "It hasn't been long since you joined us, but you've already been given the order to work on. It looks like you're really talented."

Cindy responded humbly, thinking little of herself. "This is all thanks to Miss Warhol. I'm actually not as capable as you think I am."

After hearing that, Lucy didn't say a single word and went to follow Cindy into the elevator. As soon as the elevator door closed, Lucy asked, "Did Miss Warhol have a word with you in private?"

Cindy was stunned in response to Lucy's question, wondering what the latter was trying to imply about the last two private conversations Serena had with her. Although Serena said nothing to sway her, Cindy was sure she wouldn't be Lucy's mentee anyway, even if the former didn't approach her privately. Furthermore, Cindy was aware of how Lucy felt toward Gary, understanding how her emotions could cloud her judgment because of that.

As someone who didn't like to rely heavily on connections for success, Cindy would rather put in the hard work to prove her worth. Ironically, she somehow ended up using her connections like she had despised without herself being aware of it, but even so, she was determined to make sure that wouldn't happen again. No matter what others think of me, I'm going to prove myself with my hard work and effort. At the thought of that, Cindy immediately played dumb to avoid giving rise to any misunderstanding between her and Lucy. "Huh? What do you mean?"

Lucy turned around and looked at Cindy with a smile. "Did Miss Warhol say something that has led to a misunderstanding about me to you?"
