Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1553

In the end, he left without taking her along with him; he only reminded her to apply the ointment.

She sent him out while standing at the doorstep, and after seeing him disappear in the lift, she held her hand up to her chest.

Her heartbeat was so loud that she was worried that he would hear it.

After Cindy closed the door and went inside the house, she stood and looked around the living room, not knowing what to do for the moment.

A while later, she went to clean the dishes and treat her wound.

However, her foot was still burning and when she touched it, she felt a numbing pain on her skin.

She then took out her phone and saw Naomi's text, writing that her work was progressing well. If everything went smoothly as planned, she probably would be leaving the day after tomorrow.

Cindy immediately replied to Naomi that she had the entire day to herself and invited Naomi to come over for dinner. If Naomi was free to pop by earlier, she was more than welcome to do so.

Naomi seemed to be busy at the moment as she only replied with a thumbs-up emoji.

As Cindy sat on the couch and thought of something, she posted a picture of her wounded foot on Facebook in boredom with just the caption of a pitiful-looking emoji and nothing else.

However, what startled her was lan's comment not long after her post.

In the most straightforward way possible, he asked her whether she had applied ointment on her wound yet.

Not only would she feel shy just by looking at him, just his text alone was able to cause her heart to accelerate.

After hesitating for a moment, Cindy replied that she had already the ointment and her foot was feeling much better now.

However, right as she sent her reply, Gary also posted a similar comment to lan, asking whether she had applied some ointment on her wound.

She quickly replied this time, informing him that she had already applied some ointment and most of the pain on her foot had gone away.

However, it seemed like Gary wasn't busy at the moment as he privately messaged her on Whatsapp after that. He asked her how she had sustained her injury and whether she saw a doctor.

Cindy responded with a smiling emoji as an act of politeness and answered that she didn't visit the doctor because her wound wasn't that severe.

Then, he kindly reminded her to take good care of herself. He even joked that unlike boys, girls should be extra careful with their delicate skin because any injury could leave a scar.

As she read Gary's text, she couldn't help but giggle. She had met intellectuals like him before when she crossed paths with some of the higher-ups in the company, but most of them seemed to have an indifferent and imposing aura around them.
