Chapter 2013


    Chapter 2013 Get In


    Cindy wanted to go to the hospital to spend time with Ian after she was done with work. Mary thought


    about it for a while before she nodded. "That''s true, I guess."


    So, Cindy put on an apologetic look. "I''m sorry. Hopefully, we''ll have another chance for this in the


    future."


    Mary no longer pestered her and simply nodded. "Okay. We''ll ask you again when you''re a little less


    busy." After chatting for a while more, Mary went out of the office. The people around Cindy began to


    exchange looks after Mary left.


    Previously, they thought that Cindy was a little too stuck up. She doesn''t have to be so distant and cold


    toward everyone in thepany even though she has Mr. Kaufmann to back her up, right? She puts


    on that icy look on her face even when we''re nice to her. Most of Cindy''s colleagues thought Cindy''s


    standards were too high. She never mixes around with regr staff. Perhaps she''s trying to mingle only


    with the higher-ups.

    However, once they saw that she had rejected the dinner with department managers, they realized that


    she wasn''t looking to build rtionships at all. She''s not interested in anyone at all, is she?


    All of Cindy''s colleagues wore looks of astonishment on their faces. She had rejected the invitation


    because she wanted to spend time with Ian. Being the simple person she was, she wasn''t aware of


    how her colleagues were analyzing and judging her. After Mary left, Cindypletely forgot about the


    invitation, and she focused on putting the design in her mind onto paper. However, her emotions were


    all over the ce today, so she often found herself distracted while drawing.


    She was thinking about Ian. When she was about to leave the hospital earlier, Valerie Lancaster, the


    girl working with Ian for histest film, came over with fresh flowers for Ian. Cindy was in a rush to


    leave, so she only greeted Valerie before excusing herself. When Cindy stepped out of the room, she


    turned around to catch Valerie shing a gorgeous smile at Ian.


    Cindy wasn''t jealous—she simply thought that there was something odd about Valerie''s smile. It looked


    almost like they were more than friends. Cindy didn''t know if she was overthinking it, but she couldn''t


    shake off the odd feeling in her.


    Cindy stayed in her seat throughout the afternoon, and she onlypleted her draft by the end of the


    day. Once she was done, she stretched her limbs and looked around. It was then that she caught


    someone standing outside the office and staring at her.


    She had seen the person before—it was thedy who had been talking to Mary earlier. Cindy didn''t


    know who this person was. She wasn''t dressed like an apprentice, and her picture wasn''t on the board


    where all thepany''s designers were listed. So, Cindy figured that she wasn''t a designer.


    When Cindy looked directly into thedy''s eyes, thedy stared back for a few seconds before leaving.


    Cindy found this rather interesting. Did this person purposelye over to see me just because she''s


    curious about me? It doesn''t feel like that''s the case. She wouldn''te all the way just to see me,


    right? I''m just in a rather odd situation because everyone here has different opinions toward me.


    Cindy stopped thinking about this matter as she couldn''t seem to reach a conclusion. Once it was time


    to get off work, she packed up and left the office. When she walked out, she noticed a familiar-looking


    car. The car was parked by the side of the road opposite thepany, and Cindy saw the person


    inside as the window was down.


    It was Gary, and he was looking directly at her. She froze for a moment before running over to him. "Mr.


    Frye."


    "Do you want to have a meal with me?" he asked.


    She eyed him apologetically. "I''m afraid I can''t do that. Ian''s injured, so I have to go to visit him in the


    hospital."


    "He''s injured?" Gary frowned.


    She nodded. "This is confidential—I just found out about it as well."


    "Well," Gary uttered after a slight pause. "Get in. I''ll send you there."


    Cindy bit her lip and hesitated for a while before she got in his car. Gary asked for the hospital Ian was


    staying in before he drove toward their destination. Along the way, Cindy felt rather awkward as she


    could sense that Gary was still rather unhappy. Everyone has their own opinions, right? I don''t think Ian


    did anything wrong.
