"You make the call.""I'm not calling."Tracy glared at Hank and called Matthew, feeling rather complicated. Tracy hesitated before carefully starting, "Matt, we need to talk to you about something.""What is it?" Matthew replied in his deep and melodious voice, not expecting this topic of conversation.Tracy exchanged a glance with Hank, clearly unsure how to proceed. "Did you know that Cyn was previously married?" Matthew's response was calm and reassuring, "So what?"Tracy continued, "We were worried that you might mind."Matthew's perfectionist nature was well-known to them. He always pursued excellence in everything he did, so they were unsure how he felt about this matter."I don't mind. I only care about her future," Matthew replied.Even if he did mind, it would be his own concern. She would not have suffered with Joshua if he had confessed a long time ago.Tracy was relieved. "That's great to hear. Take good care of Cyn and share the burden with her. We have your
At past nine, Joshua and Yoel arrived. Joshua was no longer as lively as before, and his stunning face now bore a sickly paleness."Ms. Yates, I'll go pack Mr. Neal's luggage," Yoel said, understanding that Joshua had something to discuss with Cynthia and not wanting to be in their way.Cynthia was surprised and asked, "What luggage?"Yoel looked at Joshua, thinking it would be better for Joshua to explain the memory recovery to Cynthia himself."My memories have already returned," Joshua replied, and hands on his sides stiffened. He stared at Cynthia as if wanting to memorize his face as he added, "I apologize for the trouble I caused during that period."Only then did Cynthia realize that Joshua was once again the person she once knew so well. Then, she recalled that night downstairs, wondering if he already recovered his memories back then. "Why didn't you tell me you went to Sean?" Cynthia asked, feeling mixed emotions. "I didn't know how to face you after recovering my m
Joshua realized that Cynthia no longer had feelings for him, and she hoped he could also start a new life."Can I ask you a question?" Joshua wanted to know something that he had always questioned."Sure," Cynthia replied."Who was your first love?" Joshua carefully asked in a hoarse voice. He remembered when they played Truth or Dare, Cynthia did not answer the question about her first love. He felt a tinge of jealousy toward the person she had remembered for so long.Cynthia pursed her lips and did not hide it this time, saying, "It's you.""What..." Joshua was surprised.Cynthia knew why he asked and answered, "You were my first love. I didn't reveal it during the game because I didn't want to complicate our relationship any further. Based on how you treated me back then, even if I said it was you, you wouldn't have believed me."Joshua trembled all over, and a bitter feeling filled his heart. They could have had a good future together, but he messed up."What about Bailey?"
Nevertheless, it all came down to Joshua's lack of trust in her, and he was just not good enough for her. "Then why are you still willing to stay by my side as my assistant?" Joshua was not angry this time; instead, he continued with mixed emotions."One, the money is good, and two, you treat me well. Although you have failed in your personal relationships, you treat the employees in the company quite well," Yoel spoke honestly.Joshua remained silent."Let's take that project you gave me to handle a long time ago as an example. I messed up, causing the company to lose possibly millions. But you didn't blame me. Instead, you helped me clean up the mess," Yoel continued, remembering it vividly.That incident cost the company a substantial amount. Perhaps not much to Joshua, but for Yoel, who had just joined the company for a year, it was a loss he could not afford.Joshua simply said, "That's because your value is worth more than that."It was Yoel's only mistake since joining t
Matthew pulled Cynthia into his embrace and held her tightly. Cynthia was confused, wondering if he had overheard their conversation in the room. "Do you mind the things I said to Joshua just now?" "Not at all. I just think you said something wrong," Matthew said, enjoying holding her soft body.Cynthia thought momentarily but could not figure out what she had said wrong. Curious, she asked, "What did I say wrong?""About your first love," Matthew said seriously.Cynthia looked puzzled. Indeed, her first love was Joshua. Before being with him, she had never dated anyone else or had any such intentions."Take out your phone and search for the meaning of first love," Matthew suggested playfully.Cynthia did as he said and looked up the definition. Cynthia and Matthew both read it together."You and Joshua had a whirlwind marriage, and no dating was involved. I am your first love," Matthew said half-jokingly, but his eyes were filled with sincerity.Cynthia was taken aback, not
Matthew strode to the room Cynthia had hidden and stood outside the door, calling out, "Little Cyn."Cynthia pretended not to respond, playing dead.It was dangerous to tease Matthew and leave midway. She knew that if she went out now, Matthew would surely hold her close and kiss her until her legs turned weak."If you don't come out, I'm coming in," Matthew said.Cynthia hesitated, realizing that Matthew excelled in almost every skill and picking a lock would be a simple task."Three… ""Two… "Before he reached one, Cynthia gave in and obediently opened the door. Her eyes clearly showed a sense of guilt.Upon reflection, she realized that getting caught in an embrace and kissed after stepping out was much better than Matthew barging in and pinning her on the bed. After all, things could quickly escalate on the bed.Matthew gently pinched her face, saying, "You teased me and then ran away because you knew I was going to train you.""It's not that," Cynthia denied."Are you
Rebecca clenched her fist, glaring at Zayn, but her heart felt a tinge of bitterness. What a fool! He was so incredibly foolish!"As long as you agree, I'll keep this secret buried forever. I'll also promise you something else," Zayn said.Rebecca punched him as a way of agreeing. "You better keep your promise."As they were fooling around, Cynthia and Matthew arrived. When they entered, Rebecca's gaze immediately fell on Cynthia, and her stunning appearance took her aback. She could not help but wonder how Matthew managed to win over such a beautiful girl."Hello, nice to see you again," Zayn greeted warmly, slyly nudging Rebecca with his elbow. He wondered if Matthew had confessed to Cynthia yet. Though Matthew denied it and claimed she was just his boss, Zayn was absolutely sure that Matthew liked her!Matthew introduced Cynthia to Zayn and Rebecca. "Cynthia Yates, my girlfriend," he proudly stated. They exchanged greetings. Zayn glanced at Rebecca, hinting at her t
Hacker?!Rebecca's eyes brightened. Cynthia took a mouthful of food, deep in thought.Matthew was not one to play matchmaker, especially without Mitchell and Jimmy knowing about it. So, was Zayn interested in Rebecca, or was Matthew just messing with them?"They're great men, and if you don't believe me, you can ask Cynthia," Matthew hinted, implying they were in this together.Cynthia picked up on the signal and played along, "Both of them are really good people. Mitchell is gentle, considerate, and honest, while Jimmy is lively, cheerful, and reliable.""Really?" Rebecca understood now and decided to join in on the act.Among the group, only Zayn remained clueless. However, Rebecca was a bit puzzled. Why would Matthew do this when Zayn did not like her?"Yes." Cynthia nodded.Matthew noticed that Zayn had lost his appetite and seemed a bit down. He could not help but feel a little amused.Cynthia continued, "Why don't you join us after the meal? Both Mitchell and Jimmy d
