Cindy couldn't explain too much, so she just nodded and went to her office. When she came in, shenoticed that something was off. Everyone was staring at their screen, as if they were working hard, butactually, they were all glancing at her. She knew what they were thinking, and she wanted to laugh.They thought I was a pushover, so they kept mocking me, but now they know I have a powerful backer,none of them are even talking about me anymore. Wow, the workplace is one mini society.
She went back to her seat, and this time, no one dared to gather around and mock her. Whenlunchtime came, she sorted out her prior designs and put it on Serena's desk. When she came out ofSerena's office, she saw the lady who argued with her earlier heading toward the elevator. Cindy hadnothing to hide, so she strode over.
However, the lady seemed scared to see her, so she looked away and waited for the next ride insteadof going into the same elevator as Cindy. The people who came in with her stayed a few feet awayfrom her as well. They used to dislike her, but now they feared her.
While she was in the elevator, she remembered what Mr. Kaufmann told her. He said he asked her tosee him because Gary wanted him to.

Cindy took her phone out, and the moment the elevator stopped, she went to a corner and leanedagainst the wall. Then, she scrolled through her contacts until she found Gary's number. Even Mr.Kaufmann came to help. I have to apologize to Gary for the inconvenience.
Ever since she knew Gary, she had been saying thank you all the time, and that didn't sit well with her.If she owed him too many favors, it would weigh down on her. She didn't like to take advantage ofpeople, but it seemed that she had taken huge advantage of Gary.
Gary took the call immediately. "So, what happened?"
Cindy sighed. "I went to see Mr. Kaufmann, and he told me a lot. You helped me again, Mr. Frye, and Idon't know how to thank you."
Gary smiled. "I told you, you don't have to be so formal with me. It's just a message, and I didn't doanything. You don't have to think too much about it."
Cindy interpreted that as Gary being polite with her. No matter how little Gary helped her out, she hadto be thankful. Cindy was having a dilemma. She wanted to thank him, but the only way she knew howto was to treat him to a meal.
But most of the time when they went out for a meal, Gary would be the one to pay, and that put Cindyin an awkward spot. Gary had everything, so he probably wouldn't care about any gift she could buy forhim. In the end, Cindy had no better idea, so she said, "I'll treat you to a meal when we're free." She feltembarrassed after saying that. For some reason, she thought it sounded really insincere.
