The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1997

Chapter 1997 Helpful File

Cindy flipped through it and realized that it was the past work of some designers, and they were acclaimed as well.

There were also articles written by the designers, and the most important aspects were extracted. Cindy was really

excited to see that. "Thanks! My mentor isn't around, and I was trying to find a direction. I can't believe I didn't think

about this. I should have referred to the designers' past work."

Mary told her gently, "Tell me if you need anything. Mr. Kaufmann has asked me to help you out."

Cindy wondered if Mr. Kaufmann actually said that, but she thanked Mary anyway.

Mary scanned everyone before she left, and she wiped her smile off, replacing it with a stern look. Her change in

attitude was too obvious, and everyone could see that she was buttering Cindy up.

After Mary was gone, Cindy picked one of the past works and analyzed them. She chose the award-winning designs

of the company's designers first. The compilation was meticulously done, and it even had the first draft of every

design collected. There was also a breakdown of the details. People would pay top dollar to get their hands on this

file, and Cindy knew she was extremely lucky to be able to get her hands on this.

A while later, the gossip lady came over again, presumably because she wanted to see the file too, but she was

feeling embarrassed, so she only huddled around Cindy. "Wow, you're really great friends with Mr. Kaufmann, huh?

He even gave you this? I bet Serena's going to treat you even better now."

Cindy said nothing. She couldn't deny that, but she didn't want to admit it either.

The lady didn't expect her to answer, so she continued, "I envy you. Your backer's powerful. I bet nobody's backer is

more powerful than yours." She then said, "That Mary came in through her connection too. She's always arrogant

to us, but she keeps buttering you up."

Cindy already guessed that Mary came in through her connection as well, since no normal employee would be that

arrogant otherwise. Only someone with a backer would. Cindy grunted. "I see."

The lady nodded, then she said, "We were actually really surprised at first, since Serena's a woman with principles.

She would never accept an apprentice who came in through connections. All of us came in because we have the

skills to back us up. That's why we were surprised that you got in."

Cindy stopped her work and looked at the lady. I see. No wonder they dislike me. So I'm the only one in the

department who landed the job because of my connection? Well, that's a bit disheartening. So I'm the most

inexperienced one here.

She turned her attention back to the file again. "I see." She spent the whole morning reading through the file Mr.

Kaufmann compiled for her, and it was way better than her exploring by herself. At the very least, she could see

what she lacked in the details department. Indeed, she had a few habits like overwhelming dresses with a lot of

elements, and the lines seemed to be rigid when she designed shirts.

Yeah, I'm inexperienced. I should study more. That's how I can learn. I have to expand my vista to enrich my

designs. Cindy hadn't finished going through the file even though it was already time for lunch. Her colleagues were

leaving, but they would linger around her desk and glance at the file.
