Scarlett said to Cindy, "You should let Harley figure the relationship between you two."
Cindy was puzzled and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"He's strict with you at work just because he's your boss. But he often asks you to play badminton with him, which should be done by friends. He is your immediate supervisor. There is nothing wrong with him maintaining a superior-subordinate relationship with you during work hours and being friends with you after work."
Saying that, Scarlett paused slightly and glanced at Cindy. Seeing her confused face, Scarlett couldn’t help but smile and say, " To put it simply, if you don't want to be ordinary friends with him, you should end your relationship as ordinary friends. That is to say, you should ask him to think whether he only wants to be ordinary friends with you or not."
Cindy looked at Scarlett in confusion," Scarlett, I don't understand what you mean.
"If you don't understand, just do as I say."
Although Cindy didn’t understand Scarlett's words, she was very obedient. Hearing Scarlett's words, she hurriedly nodded, "Okay. What should I do?"
"If he asks you to play badminton with him next time, refuse him."
"Why?"
Scarlett looked at Cindy and smiled," Subordinates won't always accompany their bosses to play badminton."
Hearing Scarlett's words, Cindy seemed to understand that, "Scarlett, you are so smart!
Seeing Cindy's naive smile, Scarlett wondered if Cindy would like her so much later.
'Harley will probably hate me.
Why do young people beat around the bush? If Harley likes Cindy, he can confess his love to her. Why did he deceive the naive Cindy?'
Scarlett didn't understand such behaviour.
Scarlett and Cindy came out of the restaurant after lunch. Scarlett intended to ask Cindy if she wanted a ride back. Cindy suddenly stopped talking.
