Chapter 1678
The Woman From Hell
Meanwhile, Cindy, who was sitting beside me, acted as if nothing was wrong as she closed her
notebook and spoke to me solemnly.
"Has the meeting ended? If there's nothing else to discuss, I'll get back to my work now."
She did not sound annoyed and seemed like she was merely inquiring about the outcome.
When I nodded, she did not hesitate to grab her phone and leave.
This time, I did not hesitate and followed her back to her office.
"Didn't you say the meeting has ended? Why are you following me?"
"Arenât you going to explain those gloves?"
I sat down without waiting for her to invite me to do so.
"I... What gloves? Those are her clothes. What do they have to do with me?"
I smiled. It looked like Cindy was not planning to admit to anything.
I looked down at the floor. "Let's forget it, then."
There was no need for me to insist on discussing it when she did not feel like talking about it.
However, she sighed softly and said, "Never mind. You're such a troublesome person. I might as
well explain everything to you."
"Sheâs similar to Hazel in terms of skills and has a distinct personality too. Many people favored
them when they were still trainees. I don't want all her hard work to get destroyed because of that
fool, Amanda Langdon.
"Thatâs all. I'll leave now if thereâs nothing else you want to discuss. I have a phone call to make."
Cindy did not sound like she was asking for my permission.
She left before I could say anything else.
My heart swelled in happiness as I sat in the office and watched her leave.
She did not pay much attention to me now, but her character had grown much more than I had
anticipated.
I was extremely proud of her for making it this far.
Just then, my phone rang.
I retrieved my phone and saw that it was
Theo. "I'll have lunch with you this afternoon.â "Aren't you busy?"
"I've been busy working. Itâs almost noon, so I'll have lunch with you."
The corners of my mouth curled upward into a gleeful smile. It looked like it was a useful tactic.
Now, Theo knew to take his meals on time without even needing me to remind him.
"Alright. I would've forgotten that it's almost noon if I werenât talking to you," I deliberately said.
It was a good thing he was worried about me. At least that would ensure he would have his lunch at
a normal time.
Now, this made me hope I could come to work every day.
Theo's office was nearby, and given the speed at which I tidied up, it would be a good idea for me to
return to my office and gather my things.
When I was done dawdling and was just about to head down to the parking lot, I heard voices
coming from the fire escape when I walked past the elevator.
"Don't you think that Wanda is humiliating you? You used to be a part of the entertainment industry.
Don't you know what these people are like? Are you going to just allow her to turn you into an agent
from a celebrity?"
Zedd had lowered his voice, but I could still hear the anger in it.
"Is that any of your business?â
However, Cindy, the protagonist of this matter, was much calmer.
"Of course, it is."
"How?" she asked.
"Wanda Lane is my enemy. She always has been, and that means the same for you. I hope that
you'll understand that."
This time, he spoke to her in a commanding tone.
However, that trick did not work against Cindy.
"Why should your enemy be my enemy? Whatâs our relationship?"
Ding.
Zedd was still silent when the elevator arrived.
