Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2171

Ian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her words. In truth, he had figured out how Cindy wouldprobably react to the scandal. However, he could only be a hundred percent reassured only afterhearing her tell it to him personally.

Following that, Ian sighed and said, "I swear, they're patching up a bunch of bullsh*t because I've beenin the limelight lately. I wish they'd give me a break."

"You can ignore them if it isn't too serious," said Cindy after hesitating slightly. "Don't let them get toyou."

"Yeah." Ian sighed. "The important thing is that you trust me. Alright, I'll look away."

Cindy wasn't affected by the scandal at all. On the contrary, there was a hint of cheerfulness in hervoice. "Don't worry. I'm not the unreasonable type, so I know what's up."

At that, she changed the subject. "You said you've wrapped up for the day. Have you eaten?"

"I was going to, but I lost all my appetite after seeing this news. I had just sat down in my hotel room,wanting to order some food delivery. I decided to do a quick scroll through my phone, and lo andbehold, this sh*tty news popped up," he grumbled.

These people are making such groundless and unrealistic claims! They're literally blabbering withoutany proof!

Cindy was getting sleepy. After a yawn, she told Ian to eat something and go to bed as she was alsogoing to sleep soon.

At that, Ian hummed a couple of times before ending the call.

Cindy was incredibly sleepy at this point, and she dozed off soon after placing her phone aside.

She had assumed it would be a restless night since many things happened earlier in the day. But to hersurprise, she slept through the night. What was more, she would've slept through her alarm if Aurorahadn't come to wake her up.

It was a wonderful sleep. She had no dreams, nor was she startled awake in the middle of the night.

While Cindy hurriedly washed up, Aurora had gotten breakfast ready, and the young woman barelysaid anything during breakfast before she dashed off to the office.

Most of her colleagues had already clocked in when Cindy arrived at the company, and she firsthanded her sketch to Serena before returning to her desk.

After Cindy sat down, a young woman skidded her chair over and said, "Guess what? I managed tofind out who the person looking at you from the doorway yesterday was. She's Lucy Harrison, andshe's a new designer in our company. She graduated from the same school as Miss Warhol. Thoughshe isn't as popular as Miss Warhol, she's pretty capable."

This was already old news to Cindy. Still, she hummed in response as though she had just learned ofthe information. "Is that so? No wonder I didn't see her picture on the billboard in the lobby."

At that, the young woman clicked her tongue. "Word is that she also has a backer."

Cindy quirked a brow in response, her interest piqued. "Did she come in through the back door aswell?" she asked as she turned to look at the young woman, who nodded hesitantly. "That's what Iheard. I don't know the exact details, and it seems that she doesn't have many apprentices yet." novelbin

With that, Cindy pulled a quick smile. No wonder she wanted me to join her. On one hand, she cangrow her team while meeting Gary more often on the other. Talk about bagging a bargain.

Cindy couldn't believe she thought Lucy was a simple person upon their first meeting.

It was probably because Lucy looked like a rookie. However, who'd have thought the woman was prettyartful?!

Then again, anyone who could enter this company through the back door was not a rookie, Cindyincluded; she didn't think she was a rookie either.

Most who would resort to this path had certainly gone through some experience, especially when itcame to entering such a big company. It was impossible to survive without a bit of shrewdness.

Cindy didn't chat long with the young woman as Serena was approaching their direction, and the youngwoman slid back to her desk as well.

Meanwhile, Cindy looked through the book Serena had given her again. Although she had gonethrough the book over and over again in the past two days, she had a habit of revisiting whatever.
