    But she couldn''t find any good topics. She couldn''t talk about her job or the investment. After all, they


    had talked about everything they could about those.

    Cindy was feeling frustrated, but then Gary said, "Does Iane home at night?"


    Cindy paused for a moment, then she said, "He lives in a hotel most of the time. He works quite far


    away, and I don''t want him to spend his time going back and forth to his workce."


    Gary nodded. "True. It''s hard for him. You guys can''t meet a lot, and every time you two meet, some


    article would pop up. I guess thepany doesn''t want that to happen either."


    Yeah. Oh, there''s a topic. She talked about the time she went to see Ian at his workce, and she


    talked about the girl who went to take the role of extras because of Ian. Then, she startedughing.


    "That girl is really cute. I thought she was his hater, and I was shocked when she held me. Turned out


    she was a cute girl."


    Gary stared at her. She seldomughed before him, and when she startedughing so happily, Gary


    smiled as well.


    She noticed the look in his eyes, so she stopped talking and looked at him awkwardly. "Am I being too


    talkative, Mr. Frye?"


    "No. It''s quite nice, really. I like it when you''re being talkative," Gary said. It sounded innocent, but


    Cindy stopped talking right after that. She knew it might not mean anything, but she felt ufortable


    hearing that.


    Gary asked, "So that photo… Is it actually you and Ian in it?" He was asking about the blurry photo of


    them kissing beside the fountain.


    Cindy nodded. There was nothing to hide. "Yes. We didn''t think it through, and someone took that


    photo. I''m actually embarrassed when I saw it." She wasn''t a bold woman, and she only kissed in


    public because it felt perfect. But when she saw the photo again, she felt embarrassed.


    Gary nodded, but he said nothing. When the food was served, the conversation slowed, but it still went


    on.


    Cindy didn''t want to talk about her and Ian, so she asked Gary about his work challenges, and if he had


    evere across a situation like hers.


    Gary sighed. "Yes, when I just started working. Newbies have it hard in the workce. Some mentors


    won''t teach you everything they know, and some colleagues ostracize you. I ran into a lot of obstacles


    and had to explore on my own."


    Cindy wouldn''t be able to understand that in the past, but now she understood how he felt. "Looks like


    I''m lucky to have your help." She talked to him more, and then her phone rang.


    There were only a few people who could call her. It was either Ian or Aurora, so she quickly took her


    phone out, but she realized that it was her mother instead. Cindy hesitated for a bit. She didn''t want to


    take the call in front of Gary, so she hung up. Her mother wasn''t clingy, so she didn''t call again after


    Cindy hung up.


    Gary said, "It''s fine, you can take the call. This is just a dinner between friends. You don''t have to be


    that formal."


    Cindy exined, "It was just a telemarketer''s call. I don''t want to take it."
