Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1998

Cindy could tell that they were interested in the file. Everyone knew it was a well of knowledge, and

learning from it was akin to Serena teaching them herself. Cindy ignored them and went back to her

work. After they were gone, she heaved a sigh of relief and put the file down, then she picked her

phone up.

Ian still didn't call her. She heaved a sigh and called him instead.

Ian quickly picked up, but before she could say anything, he said, "And I thought you had a date today."

She knew he was feeling jealous, so she explained, "I was just done with work."

Ian said nothing. Cindy asked him if he had lunch, but before Ian could say anything, the driver

shouted, "He has been waiting for you to call him after he finished his work. It's been hours!"

Ian probably covered the phone after that. Cindy could hear two voices talking, but the sound was too

muffled for her to make out anything.

A few moments later, Ian asked, "Have you had anything?"

"No," Cindy said. "I don't feel like eating."

Ian had calmed down a bit after a full night, and he could start to be concerned about her again. "You

still have to, or your body's going to break down. It's still early, so grab something."

Cindy thought about it, then she stood up and went toward the elevator.

She wanted to ask him when he would come back, but he said, "I can have a day off in two days. We'll

hold the engagement ceremony then."

Cindy paused, then she asked, "When? Did you take a day off?"

Ian said, "Yes. I told the director that I might have something to do, so we hastened the filming

progress. We're ahead of schedule now, so I can have a breather."

Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. "When are we holding it? I'll get the flight tickets."

Ian replied, "I'll do it myself. I'll tell you when; you just need to pack. You don't have to bring too many

things because we can buy them there."

They could fly there, but there was no need to exhaust themselves on the way.

Cindy gave it some thought, and she agreed. Eventually, she reached the cafeteria.

Ian was about to have lunch as well, so they hung up. Cindy got her lunch and sat down on an empty

seat.

The moment she took her seat, someone sat down as well. She looked up and realized that it was the

woman who cheered her up back then. She had gotten in through her connection as well.

One way or the other, she found out that Cindy knew Mr. Kaufmann. Smiling, she said, "I didn't know

Mr. Kaufmann gave you the job himself."

News went around fast, but she couldn't do anything about it. "Everyone knows that now, right?"

The woman nodded. "They know a lot of stuff. They know about the moment you got called to his

office."

Cindy only smiled and shook her head.

The woman waited for a moment, then she said, "After Mary went to see you today, they knew what

happened the moment she came out."

Cindy grunted. The woman then said, "I heard she gave you a lot of reference materials."

Cindy paused for a moment, then figured out what the woman was getting at. Everyone wants to see

the file and its contents, but I only got this thanks to someone's generosity. I'm not sure if I can let

anyone see this. She was planning to give it all back after she was done reading, since she wasn't sure

if there were any secrets in there.
