It turned out that the message was sent by Gary. Upon a brief hesitation, Cindy tapped into the message and read the content, realizing Gary was sending her his regards and asking her about her work. However, she spent the next few moments just staring at the message, wondering whether she should reply to him. After all, she didn't want to have anything to do with Gary, but at the same time, she was also grateful for the things he had done for her at work. Because of that, she always struggled to draw a clear boundary between herself and Gary.
When she didn't reply, he sent another message and asked her whether she was done with her work, offering to give her a ride since he happened to be somewhere nearby. Upon reading his message, she quickly gave him a reply and told him she had left work.
'I'm sorry for the late reply. I was cooking, so I didn't hear the notification alert. I'm home now, but thanks for the offer, anyway.'
Not long after that, Cindy received an incoming call from Gary, whereupon she closed her eyes and helplessly answered it. "How is your work so far? Any trouble?" Gary asked with a calm voice.
Cindy had no idea why Gary would think she had trouble at work, but nonetheless, she answered, "Everything is good so far. No trouble at all. I'm in good hands, thanks to Miss Warhol."
Gary hesitated for a short while and said, "Don't tell me anyone gave you a hard time."
"No, of course not. Why would anyone give me a hard time?" Cindy squinted and asked another question. "Why did you ask anyway? Don't tell me you have an enemy whose target is me because he or she can't drag you down."
"Your imaginativeness would make you a good author. What a waste of your talent." Gary joked in response after hearing Cindy's reply.
Like many other ladies, Cindy believed she was born with such imaginativeness, not to mention the fact that she was a designer. Therefore, she was proud of herself when she heard the way Gary described her. Finding the vibe pleasant and uplifting as she chatted with Gary, she jokingly replied, "Well, that could be my next job if I left the industry one day."
"I'll be your number-one fan when you publish your masterpiece." Gary chuckled in amusement.

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...
