Chapter 2166 A Big Smiley
Nonetheless, Cindy decided not to expose Gary even though she found it strange for him to be so
cautious. After all, if there was nothing out of the ordinary between them, Gary had no reason to ask if
Lucy bad-mouthed him.
Therefore, she responded with a grunt and said, "I see. I haven't gotten along with her long enough to
learn anything new. Instead, we only talked to each other briefly, so there isn't much I can share about
her."
After hearing her words, Gary hesitated for a short while and replied, "Just make sure you treasure
every opportunity you get under Serena's tutelage. She is a fair and just woman whom I believe can
get you where you want to be. As for Lucy, I'd advise you to stay as far away from her as possible. She
and Serena may be alumni of the same school, but the two of them are not as friendly to each other as
they seem. Therefore, it wouldn't be appropriate if you get too close to Lucy. For your sake and
Serena's, it's wiser and better for you to stay away from that woman."
Hmm, why is he telling me to stay away from Lucy as much as possible? I bet Gary must have had a
bitter history with Lucy or something, but I guess I can't just ask him what happened, can I? Cindy
nodded with an affirmative hum. "Alright, I understand."
As soon as she gave her terse reply, an awkward silence suddenly ensued with neither of them
knowing what to say next. Overwhelmed by the awkwardness, Cindy hesitated for a while and said, "If
there is nothing else important, I need to get on with my cooking."
Gary replied with an affirmative hum and added, "Sure. If you ever come across any trouble at work,
don't hesitate to give me a call. I'll surely be there to help."
Nonetheless, Cindy could tell that Gary wasn't referring to her work but instead implying someone who
could give her a hard time at work. However, she didn't turn him down as she thanked him politely and
responded affirmatively. Upon hanging up the call, she placed her phone down and heaved a sigh of
relief. While it used to be relaxing for her to chat with Gary, she somehow found it stressful to chat with
him now.
In truth, Cindy didn't like to be in a difficult situation like this as she was decisive enough to draw a line
between herself and anyone else she didn't like. Back when she was still a university student, she
would stay away from anyone she wasn't comfortable with, yet Gary was a dilemma she couldn't seem
to get out of.
After that, Cindy lay back down on the couch until her phone rang again. When she realized it was an
incoming call, she thought Gary was calling her again because of something else pressing. However,
her depression disappeared the moment she saw the caller's name, and a big smile appeared instead. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
She then quickly reached for her phone and kept her eyes on Ian's name on the screen. "Hello! Are
you done with filming?" She picked up the call at once.
Ian smiled and replied, "I need to retake a few shots, but I figured I should take a few minutes to give
you a call. So, have you missed me?"
Ian smiled and replied, "I need to retake a few shots, but I figured I should take a few minutes to give
you a call. So, have you missed me?"
As Cindy chatted with Ian, she became a different person compared to when she talked to Gary earlier.
She then sat up straight on the couch and placed both legs on the table in a relaxing manner. "Yes, I
have. Is that what you want to hear from me?"
Ian pretended to sigh. "Come on, I don't feel the sincerity in your tone at all."
Cindy chuckled happily. "What do you want me to do, then? Why don't you come back and find out how
sincere I look?"
"Are you sure you want me to come back? I don't think you can stand that, though," Ian responded
cheekily.
Cindy paused for a second and shrieked, "Hey, you rascal! You're getting naughty now, Ian."
Ian suppressed a chuckle, thinking all men had a hidden side that needed to be awakened by women
within them. Our instincts are like a magic beast that needs to be summoned. After that, Ian went on to
ask whether Cindy had eaten and what she was doing.
