    Chapter 1505 The Interview With Gary


    Thus, Gary nodded and told her, “Alright. I have two projects right now that are promising. Let me tell


    you about them.”


    In truth, a lot of what he said following that was lost on her. After all, Cindy was truly a greenhorn when


    it came to investment and she didn’t understand many of the professional terms.


    She knew that he was trying his best to simplify things for her.


    s, they were still worlds apart and nothing made sense to her.


    Finally, she frowned and said, “If you believe they’re promising, I trust you.”


    At the end of the day, Gary was a wealthy man who would never put his own reputation on the line for


    the pittance she had.


    Of that much, she was certain.


    For Gary’s part, he could also tell that she was truly lost.


    Jokingly, he quipped, “Why trust me so much? Not everything you see on TV is real. Plenty of people


    get up to tricks of all sorts to mislead the public. Aren’t you afraid I’ll take your money and run?”


    Licking her lips, Cindy murmured, “I’ve read many of your reports before and don’t think you’re that kind


    of person. Besides, what little I have isn’t worth the trouble.” Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Staring keenly at her, he guessed, “You can’t have graduated that long ago.”


    “You’re right.” She nodded and continued, “I only just started working and it’s taking quite a bit of effort.


    That’s why I’m looking for a shortcut. And then, I bumped into you.”


    Before he could continue speaking, the office door opened and his assistant walked in with two


    teacups. Gary then waited until the assistant left before saying, “You must be living quite well with Ian


    by your side. How could you say it’s taking quite a bit of effort?”


    Cindy was publicly known as Ian’s girlfriend, and his current poprity meant he had quite a bit of


    money and resources pouring into his bank ount.


    Under normal circumstances, she would also be living the good life by association.


    The problem was that these weren’t normal circumstances.


    Since she couldn’t exin her situation to him, she only said, “I still want my own economic freedom.


    He might be rich, but he earned that money through his own hard work. I can’t rely on him for


    everything. Besides, I have to try and live up to him just a little bit, else I be known as a


    golddigger.”


    Upon hearing that, Gary quirked a corner of his lips. “That’s quite grown up of you.”


    Picking up his teacup and taking a sip, he changed the subject for a moment. “I’ve read quite a few


    articles on you. You’re quite the popr couple. And here I was, wondering if you’d be able to


    withstand the raging pressure of public opinion.”


    At the change in topic, Cindy rxed somewhat. “I know thements aren’t friendly, so I don’t read


    them often. I’m afraid they’ll affect my mood, you see.” Following that, she yed with her hair before


    continuing with some embarrassment, “It helps to bury my head in the sand. For now, at least, the


    whole matter hasn’t impacted me too greatly.”


    Leaning back in his chair, he told her, “Well, you’re right to do so. Some grievous wounds must be


    avoided; it’s only that some people are masochistic enough to listen to and read about the things that


    hurt them.”


    Originally wary of him, she miraculously rxed after chatting with him for a while.


    Though Gary seemed cold on the surface, he had a sense of humor and even asionally turned


    philosophical.


    It was freeing to chat with him and as they talked about nothing and everything, Cindy found herself


    learning a thing or two from him.


    It seemed he was quite unupied that morning, for he spent such a long time entertaining her that


    she was even a little embarrassed.


    Finally, when they were nearly done talking, she spoke up a little shyly. “I wonder if you’re free this


    afternoon, Mr. Frye. I’d like to treat you to lunch as thanks for how long you’ve spent entertaining me.”


    After what seemed like a moment of hesitation, Gary nodded. “Just as well. I do have time this


    afternoon.”


    The answer caught Cindy off-guard, as she had been wondering to herself how she could possibly


    express her sincere gratitude without seeming perfunctorily polite if he said no. Yet, he said yes.
