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?"
"Aren’t 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."
"She’s 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.
"That’s all. I'll leave now if there’s 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.
