The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Lucy was taken aback for a second as she could sense a hint of hostility in Cindy's tone.

In actuality, given the differences between their positions in the company, Lucy didn't need to fear Cindy at all. However, now that Gary was added to the picture, she dared not clash with Cindy head-on.

Well, it wasn't that she dared not, but she didn't want to.

Cindy might have entered the company through the back door, but so did Lucy, and the same thing applied to their good affiliations with Otis.
