Chapter 2147


    Chapter 2147 Let’s Have Lunch


    Back when Cindy was in school, her teacher often gave goodments on all of her drafts, perhaps


    because her teacher was just being nice. She hadn''t received any distinct negativements


    throughout that period. Things were the same with Naomi''s designer, who also praised her work most


    of the time. However, Cindy finally noticed her issues after she started practicing under Serena.


    As Serena exined some details to Cindy, Cindy noticed a chop at the bottom of the draft paper.


    Cindy had been graded a C—in other words; she ranked third in all four of the grades. This wasn''t an


    exceptionally high grade, but this wasn''t considered low in her eyes, either. Cindy had expected herself


    to get a D at first.


    With the results Cindy received, she felt a little more at ease, for she now knew where her standards


    were, and her grades this time had exceeded her own expectations. Serena continued to talk to Cindy


    until it was time for lunch. Cindy felt bad for taking up too much of Serena''s time, so she offered to do


    her own research and get back to Serena if she needed help.


    Serena knew that Cindy was being considerate, so she beamed at the girl. "Let''s have lunch together. I


    can tell you more about the details that I missed out on over lunch." Cindy thought about her offer for a


    while before agreeing to it. She figured that it wouldn''t be nice to reject Serena''s offer.


    After that, Cindy returned to her desk to tidy up a little. She took this time to send Aurora a text. She


    wasn''t sure if Aurora was home, but she decided to just inform Aurora that she wouldn''t be back for


    lunch. Soon enough, Aurora responded with a text. ''Got it. You take care of yourself!'' Once Cindy was


    done tidying her desk, she went back to Serena''s office to wait for her.


    Serena had a really busy morning, and she looked pretty drained. She looked as if she no longer


    wanted to speak for the rest of the day. They didn''t bother traveling too far—they simply went for a


    meal in the office''s canteen. Cindy was pleased with this idea. If they had gone out for a meal, others


    might have thought that Cindy was receiving preferential treatment. Since they were eating in the


    canteen, other colleagues could watch and listen to their conversations, so Cindy wouldn''t have to feel


    bad about anything.


    They made their way to the canteen, which was rather packed during lunch. A few staff members knew


    Serena even though they weren''t her students, and they walked over to greet her. Serena nodded


    politely at these people, and Cindy was reminded of her schooling days once more. It felt as if these


    staff members were students from another ss who had bumped into their teacher. I''ve been away


    from school for so long, but it feels like I''m in school all over again. How amusing, Cindy thought.


    After ordering their food, Cindy and Serena found a spot in a corner. Even though they were sitting in


    the corner, Cindy could sense a lot of people sending nces in their direction. Serena seemed to be


    used to this, and she didn''t seem too bothered by it. She chatted with Cindy for a while before returning


    to some of the topics rted to Cindy''s draft. Cindy had quite a number of questions as she felt like she


    had a lot more to learn, and Serena patiently answered all of Cindy''s queries.


    Cindy was attentive throughout the conversation, as it was rare for her to have such a patient teacher.


    She was reminded of Naomi''s teacher for a moment, and she realized how lucky she was to get this


    opportunity to learn from Serena. After they chatted for a while more, someone walked over with her


    food and sat down beside them.


    Cindy didn''t know the person, but the person was clearly affiliated with Serena as she greeted Serena


    upon sitting down. "How have things been for you?" Serena asked with a smile.

    "I''m good. I''m starting to get the hang of things," the woman replied. Then, she turned to nce at


    Cindy. It was obvious that she knew who Cindy was. "I saw you from a distance previously, but now


    that I''m looking at you up close, you sure are a beauty. No wonder you managed to win Ian''s heart


    over."


    The woman was obviously trying to build a connection with Cindy. "She isn''t just a pretty face—she''s


    also really skilled," Serena added. Cindy wasn''t sure if Serena was just being nice. After all, Cindy


    didn''t think too highly of her skills, and she even felt rather self-conscious whenever she was being


    <ppared to her other colleagues.
