The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2198

Chapter 2198 Forget About Fitting In

"I haven't used a sewing machine in a while, so I needed a little time to get used to it." Cindy smiled.

Serena could see that, but she still nodded and replied, "I'll get someone to arrange a sewing machine for you. Whenever you have a task to work on, just head over here by yourself."

"Thank you, Miss Warhol." Cindy could no longer hide the excitement written on her face.

Later that afternoon, Serena didn't arrange any further jobs for Cindy to handle, only telling her to practice more in the Altering and Tailoring Department. Although she could tell that Serena was doing that for her own good, she smiled at her silently as a sign of gratitude instead of thanking her verbally to avoid any unwanted misunderstandings. Fortunately, her gesture was tacitly understood by her mentor.

After that, Cindy spent the entire afternoon trying to familiarize herself with the sewing machine. After all, they were much more advanced than the ones she used back in her school. Due to modern technology, a lot of the machines and devices were electronically automated, which required no further adjustments from her before operating.

While Cindy went on with her work, Lucy showed up with her mentees, who looked like they also needed to do some tailoring and sewing. As soon as Lucy noticed Cindy's presence, she seemed slightly stunned but didn't approach and greet her. Instead, she took her mentees to one of the sewing machines and taught them how to use it.

In the meantime, Cindy found it amusing for some reason, thinking the show she put on with Serena earlier that afternoon was probably starting to do the trick. Knowing Lucy's character, Cindy was sure the woman would always greet her regardless of where they were. Thus, she was surprised Lucy chose to ignore her instead, but at the same time, she was happy to have been ignored.

Not long after that, Lucy went on to supervise her mentees while they learned how to use the machines, occasionally peeking at Cindy, but even until the end, she didn't approach her to say hi.
