Cindy looked at Nicole and asked, "May I treat you to dinner today?" "Is everything okay?" Nicole
noticed something strange in Cindy’s tone and furrowed her brows slightly. 'She doesn't sound like it's
just a casual hangout with friends.’
"Well, I'm leaving, so think of it as a goodbye dinner for me," Cindy said, forcing a bitter smile.
After all this time, she felt like she couldn't keep holding on and was ready to let go of her feelings for
Martin.
"You're going back? Why all of a sudden?" Lulu was shocked. 'Didn't she come here for Martin? Is she
giving up now?'
"It’s nothing. My research project ended a while ago, and I’ve been here longer than needed. It's time
for me to go back." Waiting around felt suffocating, so she wanted some fresh air.
"Are you sure about this?" Nicole asked, showing concern.
"Yeah, I've made my decision," Cindy said firmly, feeling there was no reason to stay any longer.
Nicole glanced subtly at Martin, noticing he seemed lost in thought. It meant Cindy hadn't talked to him
about her decision.
With a quiet exhale, Nicole said, "Since you've made your mind up, we'll respect it."
"Okay, then. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight, think of it as one last get- together with me," Cindy felt
a pang of sadness, knowing she'd be losing not just Martin but also these good friends.
Her time in San Joto hadn't been entirely in vain; at least she'd gained friendships worth holding onto.novelbin"Let's go,” Nicole said, rising from her seat. Patricia and Lulu trailed behind Nicole as they left, leaving
Cindy and Martin to change clothes. After switching out of their lab coats and into casual attire, they
met at the door.
Their eyes locked, and Cindy nervously bit her lip, stepping back to let Martin go first.
Martin stood still, studying Cindy with a mixed expression. "When did you decide?"
"I've been mulling it over for the past few days, but the final call came to me just now," Cindy explained.
"You..." Martin started to speak, but then he simply said, "Well then, I hope your journey back goes
smoothly."
"Thanks,” Cindy nodded, avoiding Martin's eyes.
She was afraid that if she met his gaze, she might second-guess her decision and be tempted to stay.
But deep down, she knew going back was the right move.
Martin glanced at Cindy one last time before leaving the lab.
After locking the door and handing the keys back to Martin, Cindy said," Starting tomorrow, I won't be
coming in. I'll pack up my things and get everything sorted out, and I'll leave in three days."
Taking the keys, Martin felt like they were burning in his hand, almost tempted to drop them.
"Cindy, we have one more guest, you don't mind, right?" Lulu, arm in arm with Spencer, smiled and
asked Cindy.
"Of course not, the more the merrier. It won't feel so empty when I leave," Cindy replied with a smile.
"Then I'll ride with Spencer," Lulu said, getting into the car with him.Lulu hadn't anticipated Spencer coming to pick her up from the lab, but since she'd already committed
to attending Cindy's farewell dinner, she had no choice but to bring him along.
"I'll ride with Ms. Nicole," Patricia said, joining Nicole in her car.
