Chapter 2159
Valerie straightened herself up and went to the set. Ian was already there. Even though there wassome distance between them, their eyes met, and they smiled.
Meanwhile, Cindy was almost late for work. Ian went a bit too far last night, and she slept for a longtime after he had gone out for work. When she woke up, she quickly got dressed and went straight towork without eating breakfast. After she clocked in, she heaved a sigh of relief and went to her office,but then someone called out to her.
That person called out to her by her first name. So, she turned around to see who it was, but it took hera few moments to realize the person who called her was the one who came to talk to Serena the daybefore during lunch. She had no idea who this person was, and Serena didn't introduce her. In the end,Cindy approached that person. "Hi, may I help you?"
The person looked at Cindy, smiling. "Care to have lunch together?"
Cindy was surprised. She didn't even talk to this person, so they weren't acquainted. She blinked,wondering why this person had invited her for lunch. Knowing what Cindy was thinking, the personsmiled. "I'm a designer from another team, and I'm Miss Warhol's junior in college."
Cindy nodded, smiling. She wondered what she should say. I've never seen this person in the columnof designers. Could it be that her ID pic is way different from her actual visage?
The person added, "I know Miss Warhol dotes on you. I'm her friend, so you can come to me if youneed anything."
Cindy thanked the person. The person looked at her closely. Even though it was for a moment, Cindy
caught the judgmental look she was given, then the person said, "I'll be waiting at the cafeteria, then.Let's have lunch together." With that, she left before Cindy could say anything.
Cindy inhaled sharply as she wondered why that person had invited her for lunch. A while later, shewent back to her office, but right after she cleared her table and sat down, Serena came in.
She went right to Cindy's table and tapped on it. "Come with me."
Cindy quickly put her stuff down and followed Serena into her office, wondering why Serena had calledher.
Once inside the office, Serena asked Cindy to sit on the chair before the desk. She then took her seatbehind the desk and slowly sighed. "Lucy's talked to you, I see," said Serena.
A frown creased Cindy's forehead, and she looked at Serena curiously. Who's Lucy?
Oh, right. She doesn't know. Serena closed her eyes as she explained, "The one who came to meyesterday at lunch."
"Oh." Realization struck Cindy. "Yeah, she hit me up."
"What did she say to you?" novelbin
Thinking that there was nothing to hide, Cindy told Serena everything. Serena pursed her lips, her faceinscrutable. Cindy wondered what she was thinking. After she had told Serena everything, she waitedfor a response.
A long while later, Serena blurted, "Did you get what she meant?"
Confused, Cindy shook her head. "She wanted to treat me to lunch?"
Serena smiled in resignation. "You're still new to the workplace, so you might not understand some of
the more subtle politics."
Cindy admitted that she had no idea what was going on.
