Chapter 1578
Cindy agreed to the point he made. “Yes, indeed. What’s the point of having big numbers in theaccount? There’s only this much you can spend in a day anyway.”
As the two conversed, the atmosphere felt rather pleasant, as if they had found a clone of themselves.
Soon, their orders arrived, and they switched to another topic. Gary briefly informed her the currentstate of her investment.
Cindy listened attentively to his elaboration. After her investing “class” with Gary, she could understandsome of what he was talking about.
In fact, she had already prepared to invest in another project. Although she wasn’t exactly determinedto resign, she thought it was best to have a backup plan.
If Gary’s investment was actually beneficial to her, perhaps she could entirely detach herself from beingIan’s assistant.
As the two dined and chatted, the mood was delightful. Not even a tinge of awkwardness was present.
Later, when Cindy was about to pay for dinner, Gary revealed he had already paid for it in advance.
She immediately glowered at him. “I’ve asked too much from you, Mr. Frye. If this goes on, I’d be tooembarrassed to dine with you anymore in the future.”
Gary suppressed his speaking volume. “I saw someone I know here earlier. Him and I aren’t exactly onthe best of terms. In fact, we’ve been fighting a lot lately. If he were to find out a woman bought me
dinner, who knows how he would set me up tomorrow. So let me pay for this, and you can get the nextone, okay?” novelbin
Cindy wasn’t certain whether he was telling the truth, but there was definitely sincerity in his words ashe grinned.
Since that was the case, she didn’t refute any longer.
After hesitating for a while, she nodded in agreement. “I’ll get the next one. That’s a promise, alright? I’llget mad if you pull another sneaky prepayment.”
Gary instantly laughed out. “Yes, yes. Duly noted.”
Accordingly, the two walked out of the restaurant. Gary, who had driven over himself, offered, “Let mesend you home.”
Initially, Cindy wanted to refuse the offer, but she changed her mind when Gary quickly added, “I don’tfeel good letting a young lady take the cab at night. Allow me to send you home, for safety reasons.Don’t worry. I won’t leak your address to the paparazzi even if I know it.”
Since he had given her his words, she could only get into his vehicle as she said her thanks.
And so, Gary started his car. “You’re always so courteous with me. Honestly, I consider us friends, andfriends need not be so distant with each other, do they?”
Cindy was pleasantly surprised. Never had she expected Gary to see her as a friend.
All this while, she merely thought he was only taking care of her as his customer.
Little did she know, she was able to astound him, which shouldn’t be an easy feat.
Later, Gary sent Cindy to the neighborhood entrance. Before the car even stopped, she saw someonestanding by the entrance.
Since the neighborhood wasn’t crowded at this hour, Ian was easy to spot.
In his hand was a bag filled with fruits.
At that moment, his head was lowered as he was looking at his phone. As he was donning a cap and amask, she couldn’t tell what kind of expression he was making.
Gary, who caught sight of Ian, said, “Oh, that must be Ian.”
Cindy dropped her head and hesitantly replied, “It’s him. But I’m sure we still have fruits back at home.Why is he out here?”
As she finished speaking, the car stopped at the roadside.
Cindy pushed the car door open and alighted. Not daring to call out Ian’s name, she loudly quizzed,“Why are you out here? Where’s Mrs. Morgan? Is she home?”
Ian then raised his head as he put away his phone. Without answering her question, he turned his headaround and saw Gary who was coming out of the car.
Not fearing he would get recognized, Gary openly stood at the vehicle’s hood and nodded his headtoward Ian. “Greetings.”
Ian nodded in response. Since he was wearing a mask, his voice sounded muffled. “Thank you forsending Cindy home, Mr. Frye.”
