The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 2016

Chapter 2016 Three Words

Cindy wanted to cook something that would have health benefits for Ian. As she was scrolling through

a recipe book, her phone vibrated twice, notifying her that she had received a message. She

immediately exited the recipe application to open the message. It was a text from Gary—he had replied

to the texts she sent him previously.

However, his text was a little too short. It only had three words. 'I got it.'

She stared at this text for a long time without understanding what he was trying to say. After that, she

no longer responded to his text—it felt like there was no point in saying anything else. She went back to

looking at the recipe. There were a few ingredients that she already had at home, while there were

some that she had to purchase the next day. After planning out the ingredients she needed, Cindy lay

down and prepared to sleep.

Before falling asleep, she sent Ian a text to tell him that she would visit him the next day. He didn't reply

to her immediately, probably because he was already asleep. She lowered her phone and turned

around to pull the sheets over her. Soon enough, she drifted into a deep sleep.

The next morning, she woke up during sunrise, and she hastily got ready before leaving the house to

purchase some ingredients. It had been a while since she did such a thing. When she first got together

with Ian, she still had the habit of waking up early to buy breakfast. However, after spending more time

with him, she found herself getting lazier, and she no longer woke up early just to prepare breakfast.

Most of the time, she and Ian would get ready before eating out or eating in the car.

It's evident that my life has been better in recent days. Ian's really sweet to me. He has been

compromising and going along with my needs even before we officially got together. He makes the rest

of the celebrities look bad, especially the ones in his company, who often treat their assistants badly.

I've met those mean celebrities in the past, but I never really paid much attention to them since they

are none of my business. But now that I'm comparing them to Ian… I really got lucky with him.

Cindy got lost in her thoughts for a while, and she found herself approaching the morning market,

which was some distance away from her home. Most stalls were open, but most of the customers who NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

arrived at that hour were from an older age group. Perhaps older people woke up earlier because they

didn't need as much sleep.

She found herself amused by the environment of the market. Since she had checked the recipe and

decided on a dish, she was quick to purchase her ingredients. She didn't stay for long, and she rushed

home to place her ingredients into the refrigerator. After that, she made herself breakfast and rushed to

work.

Working had its perks, but staying at home and lazing around with Ian had its perks too. In the past,

Cindy would've had more time to cook a meal, but she no longer had as much time once she started

work.

Serena had already arrived at work when Cindy walked into the building, and she looked extremely

high-spirited. It seems like she gained a lot from the time she spent outside, Cindy thought.

When Serena saw Cindy walking to her seat, she gave Cindy a smile. "You've completed quite a lot of

drafts during this period of time."

It was true that Cindy had come up with a large number of designs. "But I don't know about its quality,"

Cindy replied bashfully. "I still need you to check on them."

Serena nodded. "I'll call you once I'm done." After that, Cindy returned to her seat.

The office seemed especially quiet that day, perhaps because Serena was back. Usually, Cindy's

colleagues would gather around and snack while gossiping about others. However, they seemed

proper and serious that day.

Once Cindy returned to her seat, she decided that she would take out Mr. Kaufmann's documents to

continue reading them. She had read quite a bit of it in the past few days, so she would be done

reading it soon. However, some things were meant to be closely studied—she figured that she would

reread them once she was done.
