Gary hurriedly withdrew his gaze and turned to talk to Lucy.
Meanwhile, Cindy continued to observe the two, and just as she sensed that Lucy was about to look at her, she speedily withdrew her gaze and returned to her unfinished sketch.
She didn't know if the two ultimately looked in her direction; what she did know was that the two were no longer there when she was nearly done with her sketch a while later.
At that, she let out a long murky breath, unsure what exactly was Gary's purpose of visiting. He came for Mr. Kaufmann last time; if he's not here for him this time, could he have come to deal with something else?
He was a little alarmed about Lucy when she was mentioned during their call the day before. Perhaps he had come specially to deal with her.
Then again, judging from their short interaction at the doorway, Cindy thought there wasn't anything upsetting. In fact, they looked rather well acquainted.
At that, Cindy recollected Lucy's appearance. She had to be honest; Lucy was, at the very least, decent-looking. It was just that she had a bit of a problem with Lucy's personality. Nonetheless, it wouldn't be a big deal to her if Gary took a fancy to Lucy.
Later, she waited until it was lunchtime to tidy up her desk, then hurried out of the office.
She decided to head home for lunch rather than have her meal at the office. However, she had just exited the elevator and gone into the lobby when someone called out to her from the side. "Cindy, are you heading out for lunch?"
Cindy's face stiffened slightly upon hearing the voice. She didn't even need to look to know who it was.
The woman was honestly like a fly tape she could never get rid of.
Still, she stopped in her tracks and turned around to find Lucy standing just a little distance away. Unsurprisingly, Gary stood next to the woman, and he happened to be looking at her plainly with his hands in his pockets.
At that, Cindy hesitated for a moment before finally approaching the two. "Miss Harrison. Mr. Frye."

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...
