The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1982 Ignoring the Gossip

Cindy could guess how that turned out. "She couldn't stand you not having time for her, so you guys broke up?"

Gary frowned. "More or less. It was a bit more complex than that though. It didn't end too well, and the breakup was a disaster."

Cindy nodded silently. "Love is always the strongest in the beginning. Everyone must have their own reason for breaking up in the end though. We can't point the blame at a single person. If we walked a mile in someone else's shoes, we could probably resolve issues more peacefully."

Gary smiled. "Perhaps, but not everyone sees things that way. Sometimes, when you're deeply trapped by your own emotions, it's hard to take care of your partner."

Most people could only see their own suffering and their sacrifices in a relationship, and they would neglect the fact that their partner made sacrifices too. They couldn't ever see their own problems until years had passed after the breakup. Only then could they understand what they did wrong, but it was already pointless to even think of that anymore at that point.

Gary sent Cindy back to the company after they had their lunch. He parked his car not far away from the company, but this time, Cindy's colleague saw his car while they were on their way back. Gary's car wasn't too conspicuous, but it was still an expensive one nonetheless.

The employees could see that, and they always wanted to know the latest gossip about Cindy. When they saw Cindy getting out of the car, some stopped and craned their necks to look.

Cindy saw them as well, but since they weren't friends, she didn't even bother to smile at them. She ignored them and walked into the company after saying goodbye to Gary.

Her colleagues followed behind her, and when they came back to the office, they called the other employees over and whispered among themselves.

Cindy didn't care about them. Lunchtime wasn't over yet, and since she had nothing to do, she went on with the next draft. She was getting used to it, and every draft wouldn't take her too long now, though she wondered if she had made any improvements.

She had memorized all the things Serena told her and tried her best to steer clear of any pitfalls, but she was still unsure about herself if no one gave her any comments. She then texted Naomi and said she would send her draft over. She wanted Naomi to ask her mentor's opinion about the draft.
