Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2186

Lucy went straight over to Cindy's seat and said casually, "Cindy, let's have dinner together tonight. You don't have any appointments after work, do you?"

Cindy gave an 'oh'. "I don't think I can make it. My boyfriend will be coming home after the shoot today, so I have to keep him company at home."

Her voice wasn't soft, and she didn't speak like she was hiding anything. Actually, it had been so long since her relationship with Ian was announced; there wasn't anything to hide.

Lucy was a little surprised. "Oh, so Ian is going back today? You'd better keep him company, then. He must have been quite busy with all that shooting." Lucy spoke in a pleasant tone, and she also seemed amicable. So, it looked like she was on extra close terms with Cindy.

Cindy nodded. "Yes, so I won't be able to join your dinner tonight."

Lucy didn't mind that much. With an 'it's okay', she said they could have it another time, then turned around and left.

Cindy pursed her lips as she watched Lucy's figure disappear at the entrance of the office.

When she thought about it, she actually admired Lucy. She felt that Lucy was determined and could persist till the end no matter what it was. This meant that Lucy had a lot of patience, and this virtue of hers gave her an edge in the job market.

Cindy started gathering the things on the desk, and the girl scooted over on her chair again. "Are you kidding me? Do you know her too? You two look like you're quite close."

Cindy turned to look at the girl. "Shall I tell you the truth? Honestly, I don't know her that well."

The girl was filled with surprise. "Really? Seeing you two like that, I thought you were friends for years."

Cindy finished clearing her desk and adjusted her bag. "No, I got to know her only recently."

The girl clicked her tongue. "Still, you're something, aren't you? We can't get to know her even if we wanted to."

Cindy didn't have the heart to say that she didn't want to be acquainted with Lucy.

After work, Cindy hastily hailed a ride back home from the company. She had eaten quite a lot during lunch, so she didn't feel too hungry at the moment. After getting home, she immediately went to her room and flopped onto the bed.

After being so tense for an entire day, she could finally relax.

Cindy lay on the bed and dozed off for a bit, and she only woke up when Aurora came home and knocked on the door to her room.

Cindy opened the door in a daze. "You're back."

Aurora was holding some takeout in her hand. "Here, this is for you. You didn't pick up when I called you just now. I wanted to ask you what you want to eat tonight since I could get it for you. I just checked the kitchen and saw that you didn't prepare any dinner, so this is great timing."
