Chapter 459
“It’s just a meal, so it’s not a big deal. Or do you think I’m so poor that I can’t even afford
to treat you to meals?” Matthew
chimed in.
“Captain…” Cynthia thought about slipping away for the umpteenth time. At this moment,
she seemed to suddenly understand why the others asked her to run when they found out
about this news.
Matthew was constantly causing her psychological pressure.
Ding!
The elevator had stopped at their floor, and Cynthia just wanted to escape.
Shirley joined Cynthia while Matthew carried the suitcases and followed behind the two.
He looked at Cynthia, who was trying to slip away, and a barely perceptible smile flickered
in his eyes, but it vanished instantly.
After Shirley followed Cynthia into the apartment, she sensed something was amiss.
“Cynthia, do you have a bad relationship with Matthew? Did he offend you?

“Then why don’t you like him?”
Cynthia stopped in her act of changing shoes. “Do I give off that impression?”
“Yes!”
“Maybe I’ve always been a bit indifferent, and you misunderstood,” Cynthia explained.
Shirley, who knew Cynthia well, insisted, “No, you’re different with him compared to
others. You’re distant and indifferent with others, but it’s like you don’t want to have too
much interaction with him. It’s as if you can say one word but never two.”
Cynthia walked into the apartment, her emotions slightly stirred by Shirley’s words.
If even Shirley had noticed it, Matthew would surely do too since he knew them all well.
He… would not overthink it, right?
“Do you really have a conflict?” Shirley suddenly felt guilty and regretful about her
previous actions and words. If Cynthia and Matthew had a conflict, then she would only
cause trouble for Cynthia.
Oh no…
Shirley felt like such an idiot!
“There’s no conflict. Our relationship is very good, and we trust each other. We just
haven’t seen each other in a long time, so it’s a bit awkward,” Cynthia explained as she
handed Shirley a glass of water, noticing her self-blaming
“Really?”
“Mhun.”
Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she moved closer to Cynthia and started gossiping,
“Is there a possibility.
“What?”
“That you like him. Only when you secretly like someone would you not know how to face
them,” Shirley probed.
Cynthia was speechless and handed Shirley the glass of water, giving her the side-eye.
Even if she had feelings for Mitchell, she would not have feelings for Captain.
Unless she wanted to be reprimanded.

So Cynthia did not like him? Then why was she acting so out of character?
“I’m going out later tonight. Are you going to eat here or go back? Cynthia thought about
the gathering tonight and felt a headache coming on.
“I’ll go back,” Shirley replied. She had only come to hang out.
After hearing her response, Cynthia called the driver to pick up Shirley later. Once she was
done with these tasks, she sat with Shirley in the living room, watching TV.
However, Cynthia’s mind had drifted elsewhere. She wondered if she should cancel the
gathering tonight. After all, it was just a welcome party for Matthew, whom she had
already met before.
Whether she attended or not probably would not matter, and she would go after Riley and
the others returned.
Yes, that was how it would be
Unfortunately, plans would often not keep up
with changes. Before Cynthia could decide on an excuse not to go, Matthew had
already knocked on her door, asking her to come out..
Matthew stood at her doorstep, wearing a mid-length black coat, looking extremely
pleasing to the eyes.
