    Chapter 2198 Forget About Fitting In


    "I haven''t used a sewing machine in a while, so I needed a little time to get used to it." Cindy smiled.


    Serena could see that, but she still nodded and replied, "I''ll get someone to arrange a sewing machine


    for you. Whenever you have a task to work on, just head over here by yourself."


    "Thank you, Miss Warhol." Cindy could no longer hide the excitement written on her face.


    Later that afternoon, Serena didn''t arrange any further jobs for Cindy to handle, only telling her to


    practice more in the Altering and Tailoring Department. Although she could tell that Serena was doing


    that for her own good, she smiled at her silently as a sign of gratitude instead of thanking her verbally


    to avoid any unwanted misunderstandings. Fortunately, her gesture was tacitly understood by her


    mentor.


    After that, Cindy spent the entire afternoon trying to familiarize herself with the sewing machine. After


    all, they were much more advanced than the ones she used back in her school. Due to modern


    technology, a lot of the machines and devices were electronically automated, which required no further


    adjustments from her before operating.


    While Cindy went on with her work, Lucy showed up with her mentees, who looked like they also


    needed to do some tailoring and sewing. As soon as Lucy noticed Cindy''s presence, she seemed


    slightly stunned but didn''t approach and greet her. Instead, she took her mentees to one of the sewing


    machines and taught them how to use it.


    In the meantime, Cindy found it amusing for some reason, thinking the show she put on with Serena


    earlier that afternoon was probably starting to do the trick. Knowing Lucy''s character, Cindy was sure


    the woman would always greet her regardless of where they were. Thus, she was surprised Lucy


    chose to ignore her instead, but at the same time, she was happy to have been ignored.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Not long after that, Lucy went on to supervise her mentees while they learned how to use the


    machines, asionally peeking at Cindy, but even until the end, she didn''t approach her to say hi.


    On the other hand, Cindy wasn''t interested in Lucy as she focused on her work and tailored a pair of


    cks with her sewing machine. She then ced the pants on the dummy and realized it was good


    enough without any further amendments needed.


    As Cindy carried on with her work, it was soon time to go home. Thus, she tidied up the workspace


    around her sewing machine and returned the rest of the fabrics to their original ces, organizing the


    thread boxes neatly. Upon tidying the sewing machine, she returned to her office, feeling satisfied with


    her productive day.


    Ah! I never thought I''d get to apply the knowledge I learned back then. This is so fulfilling! By the time


    Cindy returned to her office and packed her belongings, almost everyone had left. She let out a sigh of


    relief and walked out of the office.


    Meanwhile, Serena happened to exit her office shortly before running into Cindy. Therefore, the two


    so I''m going to be away. Don''t worry, though—I''ll be in touch."


    "I see. By the way, I heard about the group chat with all of the employees in it. I''m not in the group yet,"


    Cindy mentioned.


    Serena pondered for a second and replied, "I''ll send you an inviteter, but I''ll contact you personally


    whenever I have jobs for you. As for the group chat, I''d advise you to keep a low profile there. Things


    are moreplicated than they seem there."


    As someone who preferred spending her time on something else rather than gossiping, Cindy nodded


    in response. "Alright, I heard you, but I''m asking about the group chat because I thought that was


    where I could receive orders to work on."


    Afraid that Cindy might overthink, Serena exined, "I don''t usually respond there. If you''re thinking


    about trying to fit in by being active, you can forget about it; you won''t make friends that way. Instead,


    you''re only going to get a bunch of people who will be jealous of you."


    Cindy was amused when she heard Serena''s words, and she couldn''t agree more with her.


    Unfortunately, that''s the truth. She had once created a chat group back in college, but despite her


    efforts, she failed to strengthen the bond between her group members. Whenever they bumped into


    each other, they''d simply lower their heads and pretend not to know each other. Because of that, she


    learned that it wasn''t necessary to show anyone else how close she was to someone in a group chat.
