| raised my eyebrows in triumph, not caring about what she said. As long as my purpose was achieved, it was
good.
Shopping was the best cure for a woman's emotions. No matter what my purpose was, Cindy had indeed gotten
a little upset over the incident. | did not want her to be so tired either.
She had been working very hard recently. Most of her tmust have been devoted to work, so she probably
had not shopped properly in a long while. That was why | invited her with such a degree of persuasion.
"Alas, no matter what, your taste has always been more unique than mine. I'm in a special situation now. |
definitely need
you to helppick a good-looking dress."
"Ms. Lane, you don't need to butter up to me, do you?" She stood coldly at the office door, not taking a step
forward.
It tooka while to realize that she was ready to go and | had not picked up my bag yet.

We walked to the office door and were about to go out to the elevator when | saw Zedd's figure in the corner.
Why had he not left yet?
He was surprised to see us both and walked straight toward us. "Where are you two going?"
"Is this any of your business?"
Cindy spoke before me, her tone of voice showing no warmth.
"Wanda, which fire pit are you pushing her into again? Anyway, she's willing to work for your company now.
Aren't you satisfied enough?"
| did not know why he was so triggered.
"She's already shown srepentance. Do you still have to insult her like this?"
"Mr. Nichols, | don't need you to pay attention to my private affairs."
Cindy's emotions were once again roused up.
| waved my hand for her to calm down first, and | stepped forward to say, "Mr. Nicholas, may | ask from what
standpoint are you saying such things to me?"
Zedd was confused by my question.
He had always been Theo's good friend, so he naturally did not have to take anything into consideration when
talking to us. He naturally got involved in most matters.
Now that he was suddenly asked this question, he was confused.
"As a friend, you should know that Cindy is willingly working for me, and there's no coercion happening between
us. She cto my company to help, not to repent as you said."
| paused and continued, "But if you're saying it as a business partner there doesn't seem to be any business
dealings between us. It doesn't affect your interests forto do so."
"You!" Zedd was rendered speechless by me.
"I'm not friends with you, but Cindy and | are. Her business is my business."
Since he said that, then it would be hard forto say anything more. | looked back at Cindy.

Cindy did not look at any of us, her eyes were instead fixed on the elevator.
"Mr. Nichols, if we have to describe our relationship, we're but two strangers who know each other well. We're
not friends yet. "Cindy, do you have to be so overbearing? I've told you, she's just-"
"What you do with her is none of my business."
The elevator arrived, and Cindy impatiently urged me. "Weren't you in a hurry just now? Why are you dawdling
now?"
She said she took a big step into the elevator.
"| forgot my phone in the office, wait fordownstairs. I'll be back soon."
| made an excuse and waited for the elevator doors to slowly close. Then, | looked back at the angry Zedd.
He probably understood what | meant just now. That was why he did not follow Cindy down.
Twas running out, so | went straight to the point. "As you can tell, Cindy is very angry now."
"You don't need to remindof that!" 2
