Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2104

Ian nodded and said, "Okay, off you go. There's nothing here you need to worry about."

Perhaps the past had given her ample training, for Cindy was finding it easy to be indifferent toward any scandal that remotely involved Ian. She liked to think that she was more open-minded than when she had first started out. Even if he couldn't get over this hurdle, there was always the option to quit the industry. I wish that would happen sooner than later. That way, we can both go back to living quiet, normal, and peaceful lives.

Cindy got out of the house and hailed a taxi to take her to the company. It had been days since she last stepped into work, and when she came into the office, she suddenly felt a little out of place.

The other employees had already shown up for work. Serena might have already told them off and given them a stern warning or two because when Cindy made her way over to her desk, she could tell at first sight that everyone here no longer picked on her. They didn't glance in her direction either, and their eyes were glued to whatever work they were doing.

This was unprecedented. They would pretend not to notice Cindy before this, but they would appraise her behind her back and chatter among themselves about the woman.

Cindy wasn't a particularly good judge of character, but even she could tell that the people here truly did not show as much interest in her as they had in the past.

She pursed her lips and thought grimly, Guess all I needed was for a superior to speak up on my behalf to get these people off my back.


She drew out the documents from her tote bag after she came to a stop next to her work desk. She had fallen behind after a couple of days' break, not to mention grown incredibly lazy—she hadn't done any work at all.

Presently, she had only just taken her seat when Serena came walking into the office.

She was a little startled upon seeing Cindy at her station, but she hurried over to the latter's desk.

Cindy stood up respectfully and greeted, "Miss Warhol."

Serene nodded in acknowledgment. "Is everything okay at home now?"

Cindy hesitated and thought about how she had taken a break to sort out her engagement with Ian, and that had indeed been checked off the list.

However, things were still unsettled at home. The incident between Aurora and her ex-boyfriend was still breaking out into something bigger, and there was no telling when it would quiet down.

Nevertheless, Cindy still nodded and said, "Yeah, everything's fine now."

Serena would have paid attention to whatever happened in the entertainment industry too, and she ought to know about the recent situation with Ian. As such, she hummed in response and pointed out, "Don't let anything drag you down. You're a designer, and inspiration is what matters to you most. Keep your spirits up."

Cindy made a noise of agreement and said, "I know. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After that, Serena told her to drop by her office to retrieve yet another design project which would undergo company appraisal and count as a performance review.
