The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1509

Chapter 1509 Remarkable Investment Project

Ian’s thoughts went to himself and he realized that he was about the same age as Cindy. However, he was indeed overly mature in comparison.

On the other end, Cindy and Gary finished their meal and walked out of the private dining room. She then walked to the bar counter to pay the bill, but she was told by the waiter that it had already been settled.

Stunned, she turned around to look at Gary but he responded with a casual chuckle. “I’ve got some credit on my account so our bill was automatically deducted from it.”

At that point, Cindy became quite flurried. “This won’t do! We’ve agreed that this would be my treat so you’re making me look quite bad here.”

He responded with a surprised exclamation. “Well, how about this? You can treat me next time. After all, the bill has been processed so it would be quite impossible to ask for a refund.”

Upon hearing that, Cindy pursed her lips as she hesitated for a moment. Nonetheless, she ended up agreeing to it.

And so, she replied, “When are you free, then? It has to be my treat next time, so please don’t do the same thing next time. I keep feeling like I’m taking advantage of you.”

Just then, Gary smiled. “Look at me—I’m this huge bloke while you’re such a young lady, so it definitely seems like I’m the one who’s taking advantage of you.”

He enjoyed cracking jokes, so the vibe was naturally quite pleasant.

Soon after that, the both of them walked out and Gary drove Cindy back to her hotel.

However, he was evidently surprised. “Why are you staying at a hotel?”

She quickly explained, “No, it’s just that my friend’s here, so I came to visit her. I’m not staying here.”
























Gary merely nodded without saying anything else.

Thereafter, Cindy got out of the car and stood by the sidewalk upon arriving. Then, she waved goodbye at him.

He nodded in response and drove off. After he had driven off for quite a distance, he glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that she was still standing by the sidewalk and waving goodbye at him.

Gary shifted his eyes back to the road in front of him and all of a sudden, he chuckled.

Meanwhile, Cindy got back to the room, only to find Naomi sitting cross-legged on the couch and eating instant noodles.

Surprised, the former asked, “Is that your lunch?”

At that, Naomi drawled, “I was feeling lazy. Besides, it’s just me by myself so I don’t quite know what to have. This is convenient.”

Cindy felt slightly guilty when she heard that. “I was with Gary so it felt rude to answer the phone in front of him. I should have got you some takeaway, though.”

Despite that, Naomi was perfectly fine with it and she waved off Cindy’s concern. “That’s alright. There was nothing that I wanted to eat anyway. It’s quite convenient for me to order room service too. I just suddenly felt like having some instant noodles, that’s all.”

Naomi slurped up the last mouthful of her noodles and then took a sip of the soup before placing the container aside.

Then, she shot a cheeky look at Cindy while wiping her mouth. “How was your day with Gary? Did he recommend any remarkable project to invest in?”

Cindy, however, couldn’t contain her laughter. What does she mean by a remarkable investment project anyway?!

She tried hard to recall the projects that Gary had mentioned to her and she had originally intended to come up with a few professional keywords. Despite her efforts, she stood there thinking for quite some time but she was at a loss for words.
