Chapter 569
Cynthia considered it thoughtfully and said, “Put it in the gift box for the participants. After
the lucky draw, announce that there is a mysterious gift among the participation prizes
and see who gets it.”
This way, it would not cause too much commotion, and she could openly give it to
Matthew.
Moe agreed to each request. “Okay.”
“Will you attend this year’s annual party?” Moe asked. In the past, Cynthia never attended
the annual party, and Moe usually handled everything.
Cynthia declined, “No, I’ll go to the masquerade ball on the eighth floor.”
Whether it was Arch International Group or the Yates Group, she had never attended their
annual parties. If Matthew had not mentioned the masquerade ball a few days ago, she
probably would not have bothered with these matters.
Moc has been mostly in charge of the Arch International Group since its establishment.
“You…” Moe was surprised but quickly added, “Alright.”
“M omo.”
“Yes?”

Cynthia did not want to tie him down to the company during his prime years and
suggested, “Go to the singles masquerade ball tomorrow night as well. After you deliver
your speech at the annual party, leave the rest to the secretary department. Don’t worry
about it.”
Moe understood her concern immediately and replied, “I don’t want to get married.”
“It’s just a social event.”
“It doesn’t hold any meaning for me.”
“Don’t you want to date?” Cynthia was curious.
Moe did not seem like someone who solely focused on their career, so why did he reject
the idea?
Considering the future, Moe gave a definitive answer, “No.”
Cynthia wanted to say something else but remembered what Yoel had mentioned about
Moe’s heartbreak. Although Moe had explained that it was a lie to trap Yoel, it did not
seem like a lie now.
Nonetheless, Cynthia did not want to force Moe and said, “Okay. You can take time off
whenever you feel like dating or have someone you like.”
“Okay,” Moe’s response was perfunctory.
After the video conference ended, Cynthia busied herself with other matters. During that
time, Kendrick called to ask if she wanted to attend the Yates Group’s annual party, but
Cynthia declined, saying Shirley’s presence would be more than enough.
In the blink of an eye, it was already six in the evening. When Cynthia came out, she saw
Shirley and Joshua sitting on the couch. Shirley was snacking and watching TV while
Joshua sat there obediently, keeping her company.
Matthew arrived just as Cynthila was about to ask what they wanted for dinner.
He knocked on the door and greeted the three of them, his words concise but with a sense
of maturity.
“Come and have dinner,” he said.
“Coming!” Shirley turned off the TV and went over.
Joshua did not move.
Cynthia was bewildered and grabbed Shirley, who was about to run out, pulling her back
by her collar.

with Shirley’s personality, she would agree to have dinner together since she was
interested in Cynthia’s relationship with Matthew, but she would not just stand up and
rush out.
This was a bit… out of character.
Shirley blinked innocently and replied, “Two hours ago… Matthew came to ask us what we
wanted for dinner.”
Cynthia was shocked.
How did she not know about this?
“I was planning to refuse, but Matthew said he promised you that he would help take care
of Joshua with you, so I agreed. Didn’t you know about this?” Shirley explained the
situation.
Cynthia pursed her lips, feeling that things had become complicated.
“Come and have dinner first. We can talk about the rest after the meal.” Matthew glanced
at Joshua, who was still sitting there without moving, and continued speaking to Cynthia,
“Otherwise, the food will get cold.”
They all went over to have dinner.
Shirley praised Matthew’s cooking skills, and the dinner went by quietly.
After dinner, they cleaned up together.
