Chapter 2197


    Chapter 2197 You’ve Passed


    A few momentster, Cindy heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Phew! I didn''t know acting was so tiring. I


    always thought it was easy for Ian."


    "Haha, that''s because you two have different purposes to serve, but I must say that you''re a pretty


    good actress. Have you thought of venturing into the entertainment industry with Ian?" Serena


    responded with a smile.


    "No thanks! I don''t belong there, and I will never fit in. I witnessed a lot of shady stuff when I worked as


    his assistant previously. Furthermore, I''m pretty happy with my current nine-to-five job." Cindy told


    Serena how she felt about that idea while waving her hand.


    "Oh,e on. Do you know how many people have done all they could to get famous but failed?"


    Serena asked with a smile.


    However, Cindy didn''t seem to agree with Serena''s point of view, thinking many people insisted on


    venturing into the industry despite knowing it wasn''t a ce for the kindest. The only reason she


    refused to venture into the entertainment industry was that she wasn''t ambitious about building her


    career in that domain. After all, she was content with her status quo as long as she and Ian had enough


    money to get by. Besides, she was more concerned about their mental welfare and quality of life rather


    than luxury and materialism.


    In the meantime, Serena had no idea where to go; she was only making up an excuse to leave when


    she told Lucy she wanted to go shopping, but since Cindy wanted to tag along, she decided to take her


    to a nearby shopping mall to kill time. On the other hand, Cindy was not a person who enjoyed


    shopping.


    Thus, when neither of them bought anything upon strolling around the mall for a while, they figured it


    was probably time for them to make a move and took a cab back to the office. They arrived at the


    saying a word before parting ways. Despite the silent interaction, the twodies seemed to mutually


    understand each other''s minds.


    Soon, Cindy returned to her desk and continued with her work while Serena went through all her


    design drafts before visiting the Altering and Tailoring Department with Cindy. In reality, many other


    employees visited that department to tailor their own dresses. Cindy was no exception as she had


    learned sewing in school and was required to tailor a dress before she could graduate.


    Aware of Cindy''s outstanding talent in sewing, Serena brought a sewing machine for her to practice. To


    Serena''s surprise, Cindy appeared calm and natural when using it, which clearly proved her talent.


    Then, Serena gave Cindy a simple draft and told her to tailor an outfit while adding her own ir to it.


    While the draft was notplicated, it was a men''s formal ck shirt with thebeled sizes written


    there. Upon skimming through the draft, Cindy grabbed the sewing tape and some fabric before she


    started working on it. At the same time, Serena only stood aside and observed her in silence.


    As Cindy worked on her assigned task, she was reminded of her old days in school. Despite the time


    limit given in all her tailoring tests, she consistently managed to secure a spot in the first three ces


    almost every time. Therefore, even though she might not have used a sewing machine in a while, she


    barely struggled with any issue she came across, taking a deep breath when shepleted her


    tailoring without a hitch.


    At that moment, Cindy had a shback about a joke she used to tell Naomi, saying they were destined


    to work with sewing machines while their peers worked in big offices after graduation. Nheless, her


    life took an unexpected turn when she chose another path instead.


    Then, she thought about the words Naomi once told her. I wish I could be like you, but either way,


    you''re free now. You won’t have to be tied down by a sewing machine anymore. Despite all her


    sentimental memories, Cindy didn''t expect that she would one day get her hands on a sewing machine


    again.


    While cing her foot on the pedalfortably, Cindy seemed to have good muscle memory about


    using the machine like it was second nature, which enabled her creativity when piecing and sewing the


    fabric together. Thanks to her superb muscle memory, she had no problem applying the right amount of

    pressure on the pedal at all.


    In the meantime, Serena continued to stand aside, folding her arms with an emotionless look on her


    face. Although she had seen many talented people who were gifted and diligent, she saw something


    else in Cindy even though she was not her most outstanding mentee.


    She has patience, which is amendable trait. When Cindy was done, she took a closer look at the


    outfit and carefully examined every single detail before responding with a nod. "Good, you''ve passed."
