Chapter 2009 Seeking Answers

Cindy simply couldn't understand what was going on. She didn't know what was up with the few of them—all she knew was that they were acting in a really odd manner. After a quick wash, Cindy hurried to Aurora's house without bothering to have breakfast. Aurora didn't have much to do, so she was usually home at that hour.

However, no one responded to Cindy even after she knocked on Aurora's door for a long while. It was obvious that Aurora wasn't home. Cindy let out a long sigh before she left Aurora's house. She had a feeling that something must have happened, but she couldn't comprehend the entire situation.

It was about time for work, so Cindy headed directly to her workplace. When she walked out of the elevator, she saw Mary, who was standing next to the office entrance and talking to someone else.

Cindy merely shot Mary a glance before she headed toward her own seat. She had only taken a few steps when she heard Mary calling out to her. "Cindy. Cindy!" Mary waved her hands in a friendly manner. "How has work been for you? Have you encountered any troubles?"

Cindy turned to look at Mary. The person beside Mary shot Cindy a glance with a blank look on her face.

"Nothing's wrong. Everything's good," Cindy uttered with a forced smile.


Mary responded with a nod. "Do tell me if you're facing any problems."

Cindy nodded before going to her seat. The moment she left, the woman standing beside Mary spoke. "She's the one, isn't she? She's the one that Mr. Kaufmann takes good care of."

Mary nodded before sighing. "I don't know how they're related to each other, but Mr. Kaufmann is extremely nice to her."

The other woman paused for a while before asking another question. "Could she be Mr. Kaufmann's relative?"

Mary pressed her lips together and shook her head. "Don't think so. I brought her to meet Mr. Kaufmann the other day, and she didn't know of him at all. She even seemed rather confused by the situation."

The other woman nodded. "I see. That's pretty interesting," she uttered. She didn't clarify what she meant, but she immediately turned to Mary after finishing her sentence. "Okay. You can go ahead with your work. It's about time to start work, and I have a lot of things to do."

Mary nodded with the same bright smile on her face. "You know where to find me if you need anything."

After they parted ways, Mary returned to her office. She had only sat down for a short while when someone knocked on her door. It was Cindy who walked in. "What is it, Cindy? Is anything the matter?" Mary froze for a moment before standing up.

Cindy nodded. "My mentor isn't around, so I didn't know who else to go to. I'd like to take half a day off as I have some matters to tend to, but I didn't know who to inform."
