It was not like she had never suffered a setback before on the contrary, she was quite good at taking it,
“What’s the matter? Helena saw that something was off with Cynthia’s expression, and she got closer to the computer.
Cynthiashut the computer immediately and said, “It’s nothing. I’m heading back”
As she left, she said out of habit, “Call me if you need me.”
She got a taxi and returned to the Jenkins residence.
Zoey was in the front yard, cracking her neck, looking forward to her return. Once she saw Cynthia, she went up to her and said, “Silly girl, you didn’t pick up your phone at night! How did it go? Did you succeed?”
Cynthia’s head felt a little heavy. She desperately needed a hot shower to soothe herself “What?” she asked.

zory grabbed her arm. “The thing t
It turned out that Brian did not return home last night. That was the first thing that came to Cynthia’s mind,
ou stay out the whole night last night?”
He had never spent the night out unless he did not have a choice because of work. Was he together with Quinn?
Cynthia saddenly felt an urge to cry. Her body telt a little cold as well she did not wish to talk to Zoey about this matter further.
However, Zoey did not plan to let her go at all she held Cynthia’s arm tight and said, “Come on. I’m asking you a question. Has all that study made you silly? Why can’t you just get
“It’s either a yes or no. Would being embarrassed bring you any good?”
“Mom.” Cynthia was very tired. Her voice was dry and hoarse. “Can you just let me have some peace and quiet?
After Cynthia took a shower, her body still felt heavy. She touched her forehead, and sure enough, it was a little hot. To our on the safe side, she took some medicine.
Her body started feeling warmer again, and she planned to call firal to ask for the reason they rejected her.
The executive from last night clearly approved of her. The only person who would not be happy with her was Colin
The person on the other end of the call gave a bunch of diplomatic excuses and did not give anything at all.
Cynthia held her phone and was very certain that it was Colun. She did not expect him to be so petty. He was not a saint, to begin with
She cleared out all the thoughts about him in her mind. Perhaps she could give Brian a call
Brian had been there when she lett Colin’s home last night. Then, other than missed call, brian did not ask her about anything anymore. He did not get angry with her, either. He had always been very patient and tolerant toward her. He had always been perfect
Cynthia was afraid that he would blame her. However, she was also afraid that he did not blame her.
However, at the bottom of it all, she knew that be it now or the future, both of them could only remain as siblings. Even though they were not true siblings, they would still be beathers and sisters, the kind with clear boundaries
Cynthia let out a sigh, but she could not help but feel sad
Brian should be working now. Thus, after hesitating for a moment, Cynthia carefully dialed the number that had been p Brian hummed in response.
Cynthia could not tell the emotions in his response, so she felt it was unnecessary for her to explain herself.
“Are you busy?” she asked.
She rarely called him.
“Do you need something from me?” Brian asked.
pinned. Once the call got through, she said, “Brian,”
Cynthia’s heart sank. She felt she had been pushed by someone, barely standing up. After she finally found her voice again, she told Brian about her plan to intern at jizal,
brian was not surprised. He listened to Cynthiaralmly and said, “I spoke to Mr. Freeman this morning. I’ve rejected your résumé, “
Cynthia questioned if her ears were playing a trick on her. She shook her head with all her might and said, “But I want to join the company-
“C” tirian cut her off. It was as if he did not have much time for her. “I’ve always thought you were sensible “
Cynthia fell frustrated.“1-
What should she say? What would he want to hear?
Her mind was in a mess. She was at her wits end. She was just glad that Brian was not in front of her right at that moment
“Täleatherte tonight, said Istian. In other words, they should talk about in later.
Cynthia nodded and replied, “Alright.”
She hung up in a hurry, fearing that she would disturb him for one more second
Cyclia didnot tra lize it, but Ziry had entered theron or she walked in, she pulled Cynthia’s arm and checked every inch of her body.
Zoey’s eyes twinkled as soon as she found a red spot on her neck. “Look at you, still not willing to admit it This is great! I told you Betan has feelings for you. He’s so nice to you.
Cynthia was wearing nothing but a towel. After she entered the room, she was so distracted that she forgot in lock the door. As Zory examined her body, she telt utterly embarrassed.
Zory could not hide her excitement at all. “This is great! I did’t raise you for nothing‘
Cynthia felt an urge to cry again. She did not have the strength to fight back as Zoey moved her around. She just stated right
