    Chapter 2139 A Woman of Little Secrets


    Cindy hastily thanked Otis for dropping her back to thepany even though he had somewhere else


    to be. Heughed it off and said affably, "There''s no need to thank me for this. Besides, we dragged


    you out for lunch, so it''s only right that one of us drops you back. Now, go on and get back to work. I


    have to get going."


    With that, he put the car into drive and pulled away.


    Cindy took in a deep breath to steady herself. Then, she turned to walk into the lobby of thepany


    building.


    Presently, there were a couple of employees who stood there; they had seen Cindy getting down from


    Otis'' car and talking to him afterward for a few minutes or so. Naturally, they began to sneak


    meaningful nces at her the moment she passed through the lobby.


    Since she had grown used to this, Cindy ignored them and hurried over to the elevator, but she had


    only juste to a stop in front of a pair of tightly-shut elevator doors when Mary came over with a


    bunch of folders in hand. She must have just settled quite the workload.


    When she saw Cindy, she immediately said, "Come here and take the executive elevator."


    Themunal elevators were all stuck on other floors, and Cindy was already waiting for one of them


    to arrive on the first floor. However, Mary reached out and grabbed her by the arm. Then, she hauled


    her into the executive elevator as she said," It''s fine. Mr. Kraufmann said that you can take this elevator


    if you''re ever in a rush."


    Cindy resisted the urge to frown at this. Otis was giving her far too much privilege, and he was really


    looking out for her. Based on this factor alone, she wagered that he and Gary were actually close


    friends. Did he ever stop to think how ufortable I''d be to be receiving special treatment, though?


    In the end, she sighed in resignation and watched as the doors of the elevator closed before her, and


    she made her way up the building with Mary.


    When she got to her office and returned to her desk, she let out a slow breath. Most people would be


    delighted to have taken the executive elevator, but it wasn''t the case for her. She was a little flustered


    by it, if not just a twinge guilty for enjoying the privilege.


    All things considered, she thought she was being rather absurd as well. However, she couldn''t stand


    how Otis was so devoted to looking out for her, and it put her in the spotlight more often than it helped


    her blend into the rest of her co-workers.


    It didn''t take long before her peers returned to the office as well. Everyone had their own work cut out


    for them, but there were a few who wouldn''t mind a little bit of escapism in the form of gossip.


    Cindy sat at her desk and tried to get some work done, but at that moment, the sound of rolling wheels


    approached her. Soon, a figure slowly came into her peripheral view, and the person giggled


    mischievously as she asked, "I heard that you went out for lunch with Mr. Kaufmann today. Come on,

    tell me what he''s like."


    Cindy turned to look at the girl next to her a little disapprovingly. She didn''t feel like talking about her


    superior with others, but since the girl had asked, it would do Otis little credit if she didn''t vouch for his


    personality. As such, she said impassively, "He''s a very nice and approachable man, and he''s different


    from how we usually see him."


    The girl raised a curious brow when she heard this and mused, "That''s a bit hard to imagine. Also, I


    can''t believe you actually went out for lunch with him, though I did hear that there was someone else


    who joined the both of you."


    Cindy nodded, but she wasn''t sure if she should bring up Gary''s name. After all, no one here knew that


    she only got her apprenticeship because he had pulled some strings with thepany, and though not


    everyone would have necessarily heard of him, she didn''t want his reputation to be affected if his act of


    pulling strings got out.


    With that in mind, she said, "He''s a friend of Mr. Kaufmann''s, and they were going to have a meal when


    Mr. Kaufmann decided to invite me along."


    The girl beside her didn''t dwell much on this and merely nodded at the exnation. "I see. Well, did Mr.


    Kaufmann mention anything about work to you?"


    "No," Cindy replied quickly. "Why would he? This is a hugepany, and I''m sure there are far more


    important matters than our apprenticeship that he has to take care of."


    The girl nodded slowly in agreement, and she seemed a little disappointed that nothing exciting had


    That said, Cindy wasn''t sure what answers she was expecting either; after all, she had nothing


    interesting to offer. It was amusing how everyone here believed she had a wealth of secrets when she


    had none at all.
