Gary took her up on the offer quickly. "Sure. Now that you've brought this up, how does tonight sound?
I'm free tonight."
Since Gary had said that, Cindy couldn't refuse, so they agreed to it. After she hung up, Cindy went to
the cafeteria to get her lunch. She held her tray and looked around for an empty spot.
Then, someone waved at her. "Here! There's a spot here!" It was none other than the lady who would
roll her chair over to her seat to get the latest gossip.
Cindy frowned. She was trying to remember what the girl's name was. However, she never did pay
attention to her, so she couldn't remember her name no matter how hard she tried. She hesitated for a
while, but since there was someone watching her, Cindy couldn't just ignore the girl, and she went over.
She sat right across from the lady, and the lady huddled closer. "So, why did Mr. Kaufmann want to see
you today?" She might be whispering, but the people beside her heard it.
The newbies might not know who Mr. Kaufmann was, but the old apprentices knew, so a lot of people
turned around.
Cindy remembered what Mr. Kaufmann told her when she came out of his office. He said, "You don't
have to clarify everything to everyone. Sometimes, it's fine if you make things easier for yourself using
someone else's power. Be smart. Don't put your heart on your sleeve. Someone like that can't go far in
society."
"Um, it's nothing, really," she said. "He just wanted to have some tea, and he asked me if I was doing
fine. He wanted to know if I ran into any trouble."
She was speaking the truth. That was the only thing she did in the meeting, and Mr. Kaufmann did only
ask her a few questions. However, everyone else interpreted it differently. The lady said, "Oh, I didn't
know you were friends with Mr. Kaufmann."
Cindy smiled. She didn't answer her, and she went back to her lunch.
Everyone else looked at one another before returning to their meal.
I had no choice. Yep, everyone's scared, but it's not my fault. They struck a nerve, so I have to
retaliate.
Lunch went well. Everyone was still talking, but they weren't being sarcastic anymore. Cindy went back
to the office after she was done with lunch. Everyone else was still out. Either they were still eating, or
they were gossiping away.
Cindy rested for a while and resumed her work. She still had no news about Serena, and she
wondered when Serena would come back. She had put a few drafts on her desk already, and Cindy
thought that she might actually make a design for every theme in the file if this kept on. However, since
she had no one to give her any feedback, she felt lost. She wanted someone's comment, but after the
incident with Naomi's mentor, she wouldn't believe anyone that easily anymore. Lunchtime passed, but
Ian didn't call her, and she didn't call him either.
She only thought he was busy, and since they didn't have anything important to talk about, she'd rather
not disturb him. Cindy was busy with work the whole afternoon, and she refused to rest. She kept
coming up with designs and changing the details on the fly.
When it was time to clock out, the other employees started to leave, and the lady who had lunch with
her tapped Cindy's shoulder. "Work's done for the day. We can leave now."
Cindy snapped out of it and looked around. Most of the employees had already left.
