The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2006

Chapter 2006 Request

He had a feeling that he lost out in this match, and defeat was bitter. He took a deep breath and first thanked Gary. "Cindy told me that work has been going well thanks to you. She's grateful, but she doesn't know how to express it, so she's at a loss."

Gary smiled. "I told her she doesn't have to be that formal. It was just a simple message. I didn't do anything much. She doesn't have to go that far."

"No," Ian said. "It might be a simple thing for you, but without your help, she would have run into a lot of trouble. Of course she's thankful."

Gary nodded, but he said nothing.

Ian continued, "It hasn't been long since you knew her, so you might not understand her. She's a really careful lady, and she feels a lot of pressure because you're too nice to her. She'll start to go stiff."

Gary thought Ian was telling him the truth. He could feel that Cindy was acting differently than she usually was. She was stiff, and Cindy might talk a lot to him, but that was only because she was trying to keep the conversation going no matter how awkward it was. That never happened before. Gary grunted. "I've been inconsiderate. I should have thought of that."

Cindy didn't like to take advantage of anyone, and Gary knew that. Helping her that much would put a lot of pressure on her.

Ian took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Gary.

It wasn't the time for alcohol yet, so Ian replaced it with tea, and he raised a toast to Gary. "But honestly, I'm grateful that you're willing to help her this much." Ian downed the cup of tea.

Gary took a little sip. He still looked calm. Ian might have said a lot, but he wasn't affected in the slightest.
