Chapter 542
Yet, his current confusion outweighed his fear. “Dat the crap. Who cleaned the virus off
your computer? What’s going on?”
“Payback,” was all Matthew said.
“You’re such a petty jerk. Don’t tempt me to tell that girl about you the next time I see
her..” Zayn grumbled.
Matthew cut the call and put his phone on silent. He did not want to risk Cynthia hearing
anything that might give her a reason to avoid him.
After Matthew ended the call, Cynthia assumed the conversation had concluded and did
not think much more of it. Matthew was relieved that he had not been on the speaker. If
Cynthia had overheard, she might start doubting him.

Later that evening, Cynthia returned home. Left alone on his couch, Matthew started to
ponder over how he could possibly win Cynthia over.
Cynthia was not really sensitive to these subtle hints. After the day’s events, she had not
given much thought to them. As soon as she got home, she went to rest. She had
considered calling Sean to inquire about joshua, but Yves had already done so, and so she
refrained
The following day, Cynthia received a call from Jayleen. They agreed to meet up at a
restaurant. Not knowing Cynthia’s preferred cuisine, Jayleen ordered the restaurent’s
signature dishes. Once their meal was served, Jayleen began to speak. “I realize I’ve never
formally thanked you for everything,” she said.
“No need for that,” replied Cynthia, her tone markedly more subdued than before. She
once found amusement in playful banter. However, these days, she seems to have lost
interest in many things, or at least, they no longer evoke strong emotions
within her.
“Cynthia,” Jayleen started.
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry. I am sorry for all the wrongs I have done in the past,” Jayleen apologized
sincerely. She owed Cynthia a great deal Even though she was cuerced into her actions,
she had caused Cynthia burt. Yet, Cynthia chose to repay her evil with kindness, ensuring
her safety when they were on Queneska Island.
“Let’s put everything behind us,” said Cynthia. Her feelings dissipated once she learned
that Yerick had forced Jayleen into action.

trouble?”
“No,” Cynthia replied, withholding the truth from her.
Jaydeen wanted to press further, but fearing any misunderstandings, she simply enjoyed
the meal with Cynthia without further probing. After dinner, Jayleen left Nexuria. Cynthia
did not accompany her. She did not inquire about where jayleen was heading or whether
she planned to continue modeling or pursue something else. To her, Jayleen was merely a
passerby.
After dinner, Cynthia returned to Arch International. She did not have much on her plate.
After reviewing her schedule for the day, she called Moe into her office. Captain had been
with the company for almost a month. She had to inquire about his progress and steer him
toward his areas of expertise.
Moe appeared in the office, a serious look on his clear–cut face, “Boss, you wanted to see
me?”
