When Cindy finally arrived, I was already seated on the sofa waiting for her.
Perhaps it was because I hung up on her but Cindy's face was dark and stormy.
"Please have a seat, Miss Reed.” I smiled, but it did not reach my eyes.
Cindy sat opposite me and glared at me.
I was not bothered by it. "What would you like to drink, Miss Reed?"
Cindy scoffed icily. "Tea.”
"Tea?” I raised my eyebrows. "I remember you liking coffee. When did you start drinking tea? It really seems that an improvement in one's environment can improve one's taste as well."
"Don’t gloat too much, Wanda Lane!" Cindy spat out the words through gritted teeth.
I was in a good mood after mocking Cindy. I did not want to continue either, so I no longer maintained the smile on my face. "So what are you going to tell me about Theo that I don’t know?"
My secretary brought in two cups of tea, set them on the table, and left. Cindy said, "What you did in Salt
City was remarkable."
I narrowed my eyes. It turned out this was the real reason she came looking for me.
I inwardly scoffed coldly, my expression still masked." I don’t know what you're talking about, Miss Reed.”
I could not be quick to deny without knowing what information she had.
“Don't play dumb with me, Wanda Lane." Cindy's face was unkind. "Everything that I should and shouldn’t know, I know. Benny Sherman can't run from a death sentence, Chief Ford could be facing a jail sentence, and my mom is being investigated."
