    Chapter 2166 A Big Smiley


    Nheless, Cindy decided not to expose Gary even though she found it strange for him to be so


    cautious. After all, if there was nothing out of the ordinary between them, Gary had no reason to ask if


    Lucy bad-mouthed him.


    Therefore, she responded with a grunt and said, "I see. I haven''t gotten along with her long enough to


    learn anything new. Instead, we only talked to each other briefly, so there isn''t much I can share about


    her."


    After hearing her words, Gary hesitated for a short while and replied, "Just make sure you treasure


    every opportunity you get under Serena''s tutge. She is a fair and just woman whom I believe can


    get you where you want to be. As for Lucy, I''d advise you to stay as far away from her as possible. She


    and Serena may be alumni of the same school, but the two of them are not as friendly to each other as


    they seem. Therefore, it wouldn''t be appropriate if you get too close to Lucy. For your sake and


    Serena''s, it''s wiser and better for you to stay away from that woman."


    Hmm, why is he telling me to stay away from Lucy as much as possible? I bet Gary must have had a


    bitter history with Lucy or something, but I guess I can''t just ask him what happened, can I? Cindy


    nodded with an affirmative hum. "Alright, I understand."


    As soon as she gave her terse reply, an awkward silence suddenly ensued with neither of them


    knowing what to say next. Overwhelmed by the awkwardness, Cindy hesitated for a while and said, "If


    there is nothing else important, I need to get on with my cooking."


    Gary replied with an affirmative hum and added, "Sure. If you evere across any trouble at work,


    don''t hesitate to give me a call. I''ll surely be there to help."


    Nheless, Cindy could tell that Gary wasn''t referring to her work but instead implying someone who


    could give her a hard time at work. However, she didn''t turn him down as she thanked him politely and


    responded affirmatively. Upon hanging up the call, she ced her phone down and heaved a sigh of


    relief. While it used to be rxing for her to chat with Gary, she somehow found it stressful to chat with


    him now.

    In truth, Cindy didn''t like to be in a difficult situation like this as she was decisive enough to draw a line


    between herself and anyone else she didn''t like. Back when she was still a university student, she


    would stay away from anyone she wasn''tfortable with, yet Gary was a dilemma she couldn''t seem


    to get out of.


    After that, Cindyy back down on the couch until her phone rang again. When she realized it was an


    iing call, she thought Gary was calling her again because of something else pressing. However,


    her depression disappeared the moment she saw the caller''s name, and a big smile appeared instead.


    She then quickly reached for her phone and kept her eyes on Ian''s name on the screen. "Hello! Are


    you done with filming?" She picked up the call at once.


    Ian smiled and replied, "I need to retake a few shots, but I figured I should take a few minutes to give


    you a call. So, have you missed me?"


    Ian smiled and replied, "I need to retake a few shots, but I figured I should take a few minutes to give


    you a call. So, have you missed me?"


    As Cindy chatted with Ian, she became a different personpared to when she talked to Gary earlier.


    She then sat up straight on the couch and ced both legs on the table in a rxing manner. "Yes, I


    have. Is that what you want to hear from me?"


    Ian pretended to sigh. "Come on, I don''t feel the sincerity in your tone at all."


    Cindy chuckled happily. "What do you want me to do, then? Why don''t youe back and find out how


    sincere I look?"


    "Are you sure you want me toe back? I don''t think you can stand that, though," Ian responded


    cheekily.


    Cindy paused for a second and shrieked, "Hey, you rascal! You''re getting naughty now, Ian."


    Ian suppressed a chuckle, thinking all men had a hidden side that needed to be awakened by women


    within them. Our instincts are like a magic beast that needs to be summoned. After that, Ian went on to


    ask whether Cindy had eaten and what she was doing.
