The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1991

Chapter 1991 Peaceful Lunchtime Mostly

Gary took her up on the offer quickly. "Sure. Now that you've brought this up, how does tonight sound? I'm free tonight."

Since Gary had said that, Cindy couldn't refuse, so they agreed to it. After she hung up, Cindy went to the cafeteria to get her lunch. She held her tray and looked around for an empty spot.

Then, someone waved at her. "Here! There's a spot here!" It was none other than the lady who would roll her chair over to her seat to get the latest gossip.

Cindy frowned. She was trying to remember what the girl's name was. However, she never did pay attention to her, so she couldn't remember her name no matter how hard she tried. She hesitated for a while, but since there was someone watching her, Cindy couldn't just ignore the girl, and she went over.

She sat right across from the lady, and the lady huddled closer. "So, why did Mr. Kaufmann want to see you today?" She might be whispering, but the people beside her heard it.


The newbies might not know who Mr. Kaufmann was, but the old apprentices knew, so a lot of people turned around.

Cindy remembered what Mr. Kaufmann told her when she came out of his office. He said, "You don't have to clarify everything to everyone. Sometimes, it's fine if you make things easier for yourself using someone else's power. Be smart. Don't put your heart on your sleeve. Someone like that can't go far in society."

"Um, it's nothing, really," she said. "He just wanted to have some tea, and he asked me if I was doing fine. He wanted to know if I ran into any trouble."

She was speaking the truth. That was the only thing she did in the meeting, and Mr. Kaufmann did only ask her a few questions. However, everyone else interpreted it differently. The lady said, "Oh, I didn't know you were friends with Mr. Kaufmann."

Cindy smiled. She didn't answer her, and she went back to her lunch.

Everyone else looked at one another before returning to their meal.

I had no choice. Yep, everyone's scared, but it's not my fault. They struck a nerve, so I have to retaliate.
