Chapter 2148 Are You Close to Gary?

Most of the people in the company are probably better than me. I'm not just the worst among Serena's students; I

might also be one of the worst in the company. Cindy simply nodded at the person without saying much. Serena

didn't bother to introduce the person, either. They simply went on with their meal before Serena continued to talk

about Cindy's skills and the improvements that she could make.

The other person sat around and listened to their conversation. She laughed along every now and then, but she

didn't interrupt their conversation. After they were done eating, Serena and Cindy excused themselves. The other

person had also finished her meal, and she seemed as if she was eager to walk with them, but Serena was quick to

draw her boundaries. "We'll head off now," Serena uttered.

Upon hearing Serena's words, the person slowed her movements down for a moment before nodding. "Go along. I

just saw someone I know, so I'm going to go over to greet them." Cindy followed Serena over to the elevators. Both

the public and private elevators were accessible from the canteen floor. Cindy didn't think much about this, but

Serena was quick to head toward the private elevators, so Cindy simply tagged along.

Once they were in the elevator, and once the doors were shut, Serena turned around to question Cindy. "Are you

close to Gary Frye?" she asked. Cindy was rather taken aback by this question. "We're okay. Why do you ask?"

Serena smiled. "It's nothing. I was just curious. Mr. Kaufmann asked you guys out for a meal previously, and I was

thinking about how Mr. Kaufmann wouldn't have invited you if you didn't know Gary. It seems like you must be

pretty close to Gary for you all to have a meal together." Perhaps Cindy had been closer to Gary in the past, but she

simply found their relationship awkward at that point.

However, Cindy didn't say much about this. Serena was silent for a while before she let out a sigh. "Well, Gary is

pretty famous in the investment industry," she commented. Cindy was aware of this. Regardless of how

complicated her relationship with him was, she had no doubt that he was a skilled man. Even Mr. Kaufmann treats

him so respectfully. That just proves how impressive of a guy he is, Cindy thought. "Yeah," she agreed with a nod.

Cindy couldn't bring herself to say much more, and Serena didn't continue with the topic, either.

After the both of them got out of the elevator, Serena returned to her office while Cindy went back to her desk. She

pulled her draft out and looked through it again before she made the necessary edits in accordance with Serena's

advice. There were other people in the office, and some of them looked pretty troubled. They sat alone in their

cubicles with grim looks on their faces. Meanwhile, there were also other people who were in higher spirits. A bunch

of them gathered around and chit-chatted with one another about the drafts that they had submitted. It was clear

that they were satisfied with their performance.

Cindy took another glance at her own draft. She couldn't tell whether she had done a good job or if she could've

done better. She leaned back in her seat and thought about it for a while before she pulled Serena's book out to

take another look. Serena told her that she had some issues with color coordination, but Cindy recalled how her

lecturers had praised her for her color coordination back in school. Maybe that's the difference between Serena

and my lecturer, Cindy thought. She continued reading for a while before she felt her phone vibrating.

Initially, Cindy thought that Ian might have texted her during his lunch break. So, she hurriedly pulled her phone out

to check her texts. She did receive a text, but it wasn't from Ian—it was from Naomi. And it wasn't about any urgent

matters. Naomi simply wanted to rant to Cindy about her boring life. Ever since Yulia stopped causing trouble,

Naomi lost her drive to fight back, and she no longer paid much attention to the happenings in the entertainment

industry.

Both Cindy and Naomi texted for a while more before Naomi recalled something. 'By the way, I nearly forgot about

this. I saw the news, and I heard that something happened at Ian's house," Naomi texted. Cindy froze when she first

saw the text. The fact that the news was about Morgan Residence told Cindy that it could be related to a certain

something.

After that, Cindy ignored Naomi's texts as she hurried off to check the news.
