Female Novel
Chapter 1951
As she walked away, she remembered what Gary told her, and she thought of the call Ian made in theroom the day before. She had asked him who he was calling, but he only cracked a joke instead ofanswering. So he called Gary, I guess. He knows Gary helped me, but he didn’t tell me. Cindy wasstarting to feel panicked about the matter.
Ian had always been worried about the matter between her and Gary, just like how she worried abouthis matter with Yulia. Cindy knew Ian would be frustrated after finding out that Gary helped her withouthim knowing about it. She wanted to explain it to him, but it might sound too deliberate. This is reallyfrustrating.
Because of this matter, her work went a lot slower in the afternoon. She couldn’t even finish even whenit was nearly time to get off work, so she decided to put in some overtime. He probably won’t comehome on time. Even if I go home, I’ll still be alone and have nothing to do. Eventually, her colleaguesleft, and she was alone in the office.
She never thought she was talented, so if she wanted to impress anyone, she must work harder for it.Thanks to her being alone, Cindy could finally feel at peace. She finished up her work and changedsome details.
She went through all the tips and pointers Serena gave her, and that made her think she still had a fewthings to work out, but the second draft was definitely better than the first one. She heaved a sigh andput the draft aside, then she rolled her shoulders and cleaned her table before leaving the office.
Surprisingly, Serena was still at the office too, and they bumped into each other when they came out.“Didn’t expect you to work so late.” She looked at Cindy, surprised.
Cindy saddled her bag. “I wanted to finish my draft first.”
Serena didn’t give her any design task, but she was happy to hear that Cindy stayed back just to finishher draft. “If you have time, I can take a look at your draft now and see if there’s any improvements tobe made.”
Since Serena was making the offer, Cindy couldn’t say she was in a hurry even if she was. She quicklywent to take her draft from her table and handed it to Serena. Serena opened it up right away andappraised it.
Cindy’s heart was thumping furiously. Her first draft had been harshly criticized, so if she didn’t improveon her second one, she would feel mortified.
Serena was taking a close look at the draft, but her expression didn’t change. She appraised it for fiveminutes, then she pointed out some little kinks Cindy needed to work out. She said every designer hadtheir own little idiosyncrasies and she pointed out Cindy’s, telling her to keep an eye out for them nexttime.
“You put too many elements in your designs. It looks confusing. Try going for a minimalist style andmake it look cleaner. It’ll be softer on the eyes.” She didn’t point out all the little details this time.Instead, it was only the bigger problems that she addressed.
Cindy nodded. She could accept the comments and advice. Since Serena had enough time, shepointed out a lot of kinks and gave some tips. They stood right outside the office, and their conversationlasted for about half an hour. Thankfully, Cindy could remember everything because of her decentmemory. She used to note down Ian’s busy schedule accurately because of that. novelbin
After they were done talking, Serena looked at Cindy. “That was quite a lot of tips. Can you rememberthem?”
