The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2007

Chapter 2007 Rather Odd

Gary handed the phone over to Ian after a while. "I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out this way."

Ian took his phone back. "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Frye; I don't mean to blame you for anything. I just hope you understand how tough you're making it for us. We're extremely thankful for your kind actions, but these actions may be easily misunderstood. Cindy's a girl, so she may not be able to handle this."

Gary nodded. "I understand." When Gary claimed that he understood, Ian trusted that Gary had truly understood his words. That was the perk of conversing with a smart man—they didn't need to state things too clearly. As long as the other party's intellect was on par with his, they'd easily guess each other's intentions.

After that, the two men no longer talked about Cindy. They simply talked about some work-related stuff. Both of them didn't talk much during the meal, and they finished eating after a short while. This time, Gary didn't insist on being the one to pay. After Ian paid the bill, both of them walked out of the restaurant together.

Both of their cars were parked right in front of the restaurant's entrance. Gary took two steps toward the car before he halted and turned to look at Ian. "Does Cindy know that you met up with me for lunch?"

Ian froze as he hadn't expected Gary to ask him this question. However, he was honest with his response. "She doesn't."

Gary nodded before getting in his car. Ian waited for Gary's car to leave before he drove off. As Ian traveled back to his filming set, he was still thinking about Gary's final question. What does he mean? Does Cindy's knowledge regarding our meetup affect anything that we discussed between us? No.

Ian contemplated this matter all the way until he arrived at his filming set, where he reached for his phone to send Cindy a text. It was time for lunch, but Cindy was still focused on her draft. Once she got into the state of flow, she would block out all the noises around her. That was why she missed out on the text that Ian had sent her.

By the time Cindy completed her draft and snapped back to reality, she noticed that there were two messages on her phone. One was from Ian, while the other was from Gary.

Cindy was rather shocked to see this—she hadn't expected both men to text her at once. She chose to open Gary's text first.
