    Chapter 2190 You Poor Thing


    There wasn''t anyone else in the designated elevator, so it was just the two of them. As they were


    waiting for the elevator to reach its destination, Lucy spoke up. "Do you have any appointments this


    afternoon? If not, we can have lunch together."


    Without another thought, Cindy replied, "I''m busy this afternoon. Maybe next time."


    Cindy didn''t know if Lucy had realized that she was just making excuses. Either way, Lucy smiled and


    gave a simple response.


    After the elevator doors opened, Cindy was the first to go out. She didn''t bid Lucy goodbye, heading


    straight toward her office.


    When Cindy arrived at the office entrance, she noticed that Serena was already there. She nced at


    the time and saw that it was almost working hours, so it was reasonable that Serena would be present.


    As Serena turned and caught sight of Cindy, she nodded at thetter. However, she also saw Lucy


    walking behind Cindy.


    Lucy looked at Serena, then raised her hand to wave in greeting.


    Serena responded in kind. Then, when she looked at Cindy, her expression turned into that of


    exasperation. Cindy went back to her seat. Soon, Serena walked over to her. "Did you bump into her


    this morning?"


    Cindy knew what Serena was trying to ask about, so she nodded. "Met her at the entrance of the


    building."


    Serena smiled. "You poor thing."


    Cindy smiled helplessly as well. "I know, right?"


    She had declined Lucy''s invitation today, and she had no idea when Lucy would ask her for a meal


    together next time. It would seem cruel of her if she kept declining, so she would have to agree


    eventually.


    When Cindy thought of that, she felt a little troubled. If she agreed and went, she wouldn''t know what to


    do if Lucy bombarded her with questions.


    Cindy didn''t dare think about it. She was especially amazed by Lucy for being able to go so far on her


    own. It was quite a feat indeed. Either way, Cindy would never embarrass herself the way Lucy did.


    Serena went back to her own office soon after. Cindy took out the design she drafted yesterday, then


    made some adjustments to it. When it looked good enough, she delivered it to Serena.


    Serena was quite satisfied with Cindy''s design. "Looks good, and you worked quite fast this time. I


    have another order here. I''m not sure whom to give it to, but since you''re done already, you can have


    it."

    Cindy was stunned. She had a feeling that Serena had been especially nice to her these days. It might


    be because she had declined Lucy''s invitation, and Serena was d about that.


    From Serena''sments on Lucy, Cindy could see that Serena wasn''t on good terms with her. Even if


    Serena tried to be more objective about it, Cindy could still sense her underlying feelings.


    Meanwhile, Ian had justpleted the morning''s worth of filming, so he returned to his green room and


    sat down. The filming went quite well that morning, so he didn''t feel too tired.


    Ian''s driver passed him a bottle of water. "What would you like to eat for lunch? The lunch they


    prepared should be here already, but I don''t think you''d want to eat those. Shall I go out and buy lunch


    for you?"


    Ian waved his hand. He wasn''t too hungry at the moment. "Maybeter. If you''re hungry, please go


    ahead."


    The driver took a seat at the side. "I''m not hungry, either. I don''t have any appetite."


    After a while, he looked like he couldn''t stand it anymore as he looked up at Ian and asked, "I heard


    that your contract is expiring soon."


    Ian stopped halfway through his motion of drinking water, then nodded. "Yes, my contract is expiring."


    The driver immediately asked, "So you have no ns of extending it?"


    Ian put down his ss of water and thought for a bit before saying, "At the moment, yes. I want to rest


    for a while."


    The driver sighed. "If you''re not extending the contract, I will definitely be assigned to someone else. I


    will have to return to my previous days… I don''t dare think about it."


    He seemed glum. "You might not know this, but in the past, I kept getting ordered around to do all sorts


    of stuff, but they don''t pay me extra for that. Compared to working for you, those days were horrible


    and exhausting."
