Chapter 2182 Gary’s Worries
Gary let out a breath and continued, "I came across Lucy at a dinner party back then. After it ended, the person who held the party told me that he meant to play Cupid for the two of us. I have no idea what Lucy thought about it at that time, but since I wasn't aware of it, I didn't turn her down straight away. Therefore, even though I made it clear to her later, she was still relentless. She's a little obstinate. If you don't make something clear to her right away, it'll be pointless to do so later. As you can see, I'm in a bit of trouble now."
He paused for a moment with a helpless expression. "I was the one who recommended you to your company. She's aware of that, so I'm worried she'll make things difficult for you. Therefore, you have to turn her down directly so that you won't end up like me. Now, she won't believe me no matter what I say." Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Cindy pursed her lips and gave it some thought. "Do you really have no feelings for Miss Harrison at all? I think she's an amiable woman."
Gary was taken aback before shooting her a look. "What are you implying?"
Faced with the question, Cindy realized she had said something wrong. Her relationship with Gary was awkward, to begin with, so she wasn't supposed to say anything about his love affairs.
Therefore, she quickly clasped her hands together and apologized to him. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that."
Anyway, Gary didn't intend to settle the score with her. He just wanted to ask her whether Lucy was mean to her.
He understood Lucy's temperament. She was petty and obstinate. Although Cindy had a boyfriend, she was on good terms with Gary. Therefore, Lucy would likely pull a trick on her.
During the meal the day before, Lucy kept asking about Cindy. It wasn't until Gary appeared displeased that she relented. It was giving him a headache since it was hard to get rid of the woman. If such a person went finding fault with Cindy, the latter would be troubled.
Nevertheless, Cindy wasn't affected much. She worked under Serena, after all. Even if Lucy wanted to deal with her, she wouldn't dare cross the line. Moreover, since Serena was aware of Lucy's intentions, she would stand up for Cindy.
Therefore, Cindy wasn't worried. Even if Serena was unable to help, it wasn't like she was a pushover. It was just a job, after all. Although the job was difficult to come by, she wouldn't make herself suffer and let anyone bully her.
As such, she wasn't concerned and even persuaded Gary not to worry too much. She didn't think Lucy was reckless and willful. Although Lucy came from a wealthy family, she knew what she could do and what she couldn't.
Furthermore, since she loved Gary, she wouldn't cross the line.
Gary found it funny that Cindy was placating him instead. Eventually, he shook his head and said helplessly, "I guess I'm just overly worried. Since you're not bothered by it, I can be at ease. If there's any problem in the future, just contact me. I'll help you settle it."
Cindy nodded and hummed. "Alright. I got it."
Since she was sleepy, she appeared weary and wasn't in the mood for a long talk.
Gary realized that as well, but he just thought that Cindy was exhausted from work. He thoughtfully persuaded her not to exert herself at work and that she had to get more rest.
Nothing major happened during lunch, and it only felt like a normal conversation between friends. After they finished all the food, Gary sent her back to her company.
After getting out of the car, Cindy sighed. She initially wanted to go home and get some rest during lunchtime. However, she didn't manage to do that, and there was still some time before she resumed work. Therefore, she decided to get some shuteye in the office.
