Cindy pressed her lips together without saying anything. Serena turned and looked at her beforegetting her to come closer. Then, Serena pointed at Cindy’s design and began to point out all the flaws.Serena sounded rather stern, but she didn’t get to a point where she was angry.
At first, Cindy felt rather embarrassed, but after Serena pointed out all her flaws, Cindy could see thather design was really amateur. When she looked at her draft again, she recognized that it was prettybad. Cindy nodded. “I got it. I’ll go fix these flaws now.”
Serena didn’t change her tone, but her words sounded like she was trying to comfort Cindy. “There’s norush. You’re still new here, so it’s natural for you to make these mistakes.”
Cindy kept her mouth shut once more. Once they were done with their discussion, Serena sent Cindyback to edit the draft. Cindy brought her work back to her seat. The people around her didn’t know thereason Serena had called her into the office, so they assumed that both of them were talking aboutsome secrets again. One of Cindy’s colleagues seemed rather annoyed by this, and she let out a loudscoff. It was clear that she meant for Cindy to hear it, but Cindy didn’t pay much attention to her. If shesaw this happening to someone else, she might have felt angry on behalf of the person. However,since it was happening to her, and since it didn’t cause her much trouble, she didn’t want to care aboutit. novelbin
Cindy edited her work according to Serena’s orders, and her design looked much better after she wasdone with it. The rest of the apprentices who had been with Serena for a while had their own tasks, butCindy didn’t have much to do. Serena was relatively busy, and she had told Cindy that she would giveCindy an overview of the fashion design process once she was done with work. Cindy could only waituntil Serena had the time to do so because she couldn’t figure it out on her own.
After that, Cindy put her first draft aside and took the sketch from before to continue working on heridea. If she were being honest, she didn’t need to interact with anyone in the company. Everyone hadtheir own job, and she could complete her work without having to build connections with anyone. Cindyspent the whole morning working on her draft. Serena stopped by and made one round in the office,but she didn’t talk to Cindy.
When she saw the design in Cindy’s hand, she didn’t give any constructive comments and simply tooka look before leaving. Now, whenever Serena had the slightest interaction with Cindy, her otherapprentices would start coming up with all sorts of possibilities in their heads. Once Serena left, theapprentices began to whisper among themselves once more.
Cindy just pretended that she couldn’t hear anything. The more I think about it, the more this seemslike a usual working environment. Like all other workplaces, it’s competitive, so I think it’s best that Iembrace this with an open mind.
Cindy didn’t go anywhere the whole afternoon and simply focused on completing her work. When itwas finally time for lunch, Mary from the HR department came over to deliver Cindy’s cafeteria pass.Cindy had been too focused on her work, and she felt a little dizzy from looking at her work for too long.
She was still rather dazed when Mary gave her the cafeteria pass. “Calm down. Take your time,” Marysaid with a smile. Cindy thanked her and kept the card away. After Mary left, someone beside Cindy letout another loud scoff. Cindy didn’t care at this point. It seems like I’ll never be able to work well withthe people here. I shouldn’t force myself to be nice to them, then. I’ll just be myself. Not many peopleliked me when I was working for Ian, anyway.
The people in the entertainment industry were more cunning and spiteful than the people in her
workplace. So, if Cindy could survive in the entertainment industry, she could survive anywhere. Herworkplace environment was a minor issue.
Cindy went to lunch on her own. After she got her food, she found an empty seat. No one sat at hertable. Honestly, as long as those people don’t send odd looks in my direction, I think I might actuallylike a workplace where no one talks to me.
