Next One Is a Babe

Lucy chuckled. "You should be getting married by now. I see that Ian's fans have accepted you too."

"Well, it's true that people no longer oppose our relationship, but he still has some plans for his work. Our current relationship is not much different from being married anyway, so I don't really care about that. His work is the most important now," Cindy replied.

Then, Lucy added, "I'm not saying this to scare you, but you should take action soon. The entertainment industry is complex, and there are many beautiful ladies around Ian. If you don't make a move, someone else might take your place."

Just then, Serena chimed in, "It's best to be more open-minded about this kind of thing. If Ian is not loyal, getting married now won't make a difference; he can still cheat after getting married. In other words, having a marriage certificate doesn't impose a high level of constraint on a couple's relationship."

Cindy nodded and replied, "Exactly."

Lucy pressed her lips together, her face showing a nonchalant smile as she ended the conversation. Since then, she didn't say much throughout lunch.

Cindy could tell that she wasn't very happy, and Lucy must have sensed that she and Serena were always in agreement. Yet, she didn't think that she and Serena were being too much, for she just wanted to make sure Lucy knew what to do when they had already made things so clear.

Serena footed the bill after lunch, and Cindy didn't fight for the bill with the two of them either. As an apprentice, it wouldn't look good for her to fight with the two designers over who should be paying. Plus, the meal wasn't expensive anyway.

When Serena went to pay the bill, only Lucy and Cindy were left in the private room. Lucy waited for a moment before suddenly saying, "You seem to have a good relationship with Miss Warhol."

After being stunned for a moment, Cindy raised her brows. "Well, our relationship is fine. Mr. Kaufmann asked her to take care of me, so she has been very kind to me."

Both Cindy and Lucy had entered the company through connections, so Cindy didn't try hiding that fact in front of Lucy.

When Lucy heard that, she nodded. "I suspected as much, but Miss Warhol has always told the public that she's fair and impartial, so I thought it was really like that."

Suddenly, Cindy laughed. "No matter how fair and impartial she is, she still has to listen to her superiors, right? Wouldn't you do the same? Can you ignore Mr. Kaufmann's words?"

"You're right." Lucy pressed her lips together and chuckled.
