Lucy went straight over to Cindy's seat and said casually, "Cindy, let's have dinner together tonight. You don't have any appointments after work, do you?"
Cindy gave an 'oh'. "I don't think I can make it. My boyfriend will be coming home after the shoot today, so I have to keep him company at home."
Her voice wasn't soft, and she didn't speak like she was hiding anything. Actually, it had been so long since her relationship with Ian was announced; there wasn't anything to hide.
Lucy was a little surprised. "Oh, so Ian is going back today? You'd better keep him company, then. He must have been quite busy with all that shooting." Lucy spoke in a pleasant tone, and she also seemed amicable. So, it looked like she was on extra close terms with Cindy.
Cindy nodded. "Yes, so I won't be able to join your dinner tonight."
Lucy didn't mind that much. With an 'it's okay', she said they could have it another time, then turned around and left.
Cindy pursed her lips as she watched Lucy's figure disappear at the entrance of the office.
When she thought about it, she actually admired Lucy. She felt that Lucy was determined and could persist till the end no matter what it was. This meant that Lucy had a lot of patience, and this virtue of hers gave her an edge in the job market.
Cindy started gathering the things on the desk, and the girl scooted over on her chair again. "Are you kidding me? Do you know her too? You two look like you're quite close."
Cindy turned to look at the girl. "Shall I tell you the truth? Honestly, I don't know her that well."
The girl was filled with surprise. "Really? Seeing you two like that, I thought you were friends for years."
Cindy finished clearing her desk and adjusted her bag. "No, I got to know her only recently."
The girl clicked her tongue. "Still, you're something, aren't you? We can't get to know her even if we wanted to."
Aurora was holding some takeout in her hand. "Here, this is for you. You didn't pick up when I called you just now. I wanted to ask you what you want to eat tonight since I could get it for you. I just checked the kitchen and saw that you didn't prepare any dinner, so this is great timing."

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...
