The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2175 They Were Barely Even Acquainted

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.

However, adding Gary to the equation, she had this inclination to avoid being on Cindy's bad side. Thus, she had to bear with it even if she didn't like how Cindy talked to her.

Cindy exited the car first when the elevator arrived at their floor, and she didn't even turn to bid Lucy farewell but instead headed straight to her desk.

Lucy, on the other hand, waited for a moment before leaving the car. After that, she stood in front of the elevator and gazed at Cindy's leaving figure.
