even if they didn’t know each other, right? Cindy hadn’t intended to rify anything, but since these
were her new colleagues, she felt like she had to build a good rtionship with them even if she had to
do things she didn’t want to.
So, she ended up answering them. “Miss Warhol saw me alone during lunch today. I didn’t know where
to go, so she offered to show me around.”
Cindy hadn’t expected a simple meal to cause her so much trouble. Sometime in the afternoon, Cindy
overheard others talking about her in the pantry. Her colleagues were iming that she had entered the
Furthermore, there were some who said that Serena was going to focus on guiding Cindy so that Cindy
could take over the role as the main designer. The colleagues even brought up Ian’s name and said
that he was the one supporting her.
Cindy was utterly speechless toward all these rumors. She knew that Serena only took in a limited
number of students and that it was hard for one to get in if onecked the skills. However, Cindy had
been in the dark, and she had never expected to have connections that would get Serena to take extra
care of her. Initially, Cindy simply applied for thispany because of its fame. This is why people say
that it’s bad to achieve things through the use of connections. It really causes a ton of unnecessary
troubles.
In the end, Cindy had no choice but to return to her seat without getting a drink from the pantry. Most of
the other apprentices at the office held negative opinions toward her as well. Although they were less
verbal about their thoughts, Cindy could tell that they were eyeing her in a rather odd manner.
As Cindy sat on her spot and stared at the draft of her design, she felt rather uneasy. To be honest, I
hate people who get in through their connections, and I hate unskilled people who are able to get good
resources just because they know some influential people. It’s so unfair to others. I feel so helpless
now that I’m in this situation. Yet, this is my only chance, and I don’t want to give up just yet. After
thinking about this matter for a while, Cindy sat upright and took a deep breath before she started on
her iplete design once more. She figured that she would have to prove herself for those people to
stop talking about her.
Ian came over to pick Cindy up from work that night. They met at the entrance of thepany. “How
was it? How was your first day at work?” Ian asked in an anxious tone. Cindy didn’t want to tell him
about the troubles that she had encountered on the first day of work, as she didn’t want him to worry.
“It’s pretty good. The designer I’m working for takes really good care of me, and the rest of my
colleagues are nice too.” She had no choice but to emphasize the good parts of her day.
Ian wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “That’s good. You can always tell me if you have any
concerns, okay?”
“Okay,” Cindy mumbled. They strolled along the side of the road, and Cindy heard whispers soon after
they started walking. She couldn’t hear the exact words they uttered, but she figured that they must
have spotted Ian. Cindy didn’t turn around and Ian was used to such encounters, so they simply
headed to the side of the road to hail a cab.

When the cab came close to them, Cindy turned to nce at thepany’s entrance. She could see a
few people standing by the door with their fingers pointed in her and Ian’s direction. On a regr day,
Cindy would’ve assumed that these people were excited to see Ian. However, after what she overheard
in the pantry earlier, she no longer thought so kindly of those people. She had a feeling that those
people were talking about Ian using his connections to get her in.
She found it hard to rify this matter since she had indeed gotten in through connections. However, it
truly had nothing to do with Ian. Once both of them got in the cab and arrived home, Ian looked at
Cindy once more. “Are you sure everything’s fine at work?”
He had already noticed that Cindy seemed out of it on their way back home, but he didn’t want to ask
her about it in the car. Now that they were home, he stepped in front of Cindy and put his hands on her
shoulders before taking a long look at her face.
Cindy tried her best to keep a neutral expression. She even added a faint smile. “What makes you think
I’m facing any problems? I’m a newbie there, so I totally expected to be overwhelmed with work on my
first day.”
