Chapter 403
A flicker of movement was visible in Cynthia’s eyes
Nothing to hide?
Yoel read the skepticism in her gaze, struggling to keep a smile on his face, “You don’t
believe me?”
“Since there is nothing between you, why did you mention on the phone that day that
he’d suffered a romantic setback? You also asked me to reduce his workload and
suggested a salary increase,” Cynthia questioned her own judgment for the first
time.
Most importantly, when she asked if it was his fault, Yorl remained silent
“Because..” Yoel’s gaze involuntarily shifted toward his bass.
Announcing Moo’s affections for Ms. Yates now would be like driving a knife into the boss’s
heart, would it not?

of Ms. Yates now, he’d surely earn Mae’s resentiment later.
“Why are you looking at him?” Cynthia followed Yoel’s gaze with a slight frown.
“I promised Moe I’d keep this matter confidential. I can’t tell you.” Yoel’s quick thinking
provided an out
Though Moe had told him as a be to extract information from him, Yoel still felt there must
be more to it. Mor, being as aloof as he was, would not exploit his emotions even if he had
to devise a scheme.
Cynthia’s gaze held an element of probing scrutiny.
Yoel defended his innocence one more time. “I’ll say it again. All you need to know is that
he and I are simply good friends.‘
Cynthia acknowledged his words with a noncommittal humph
Joshua, seeing that they had finished their discussion, focused his intense gaze un
Cynthia. He studied the face that often appeared in his dreams. “What happened tonight?”
“How did you end up there?” Cynthia countered rather than answering his question
According to the person’s usual modus operandi, there should have been no such
oversight. The entire 23rd floor should have been secured to ensure she could not escape
or call for help.
Joshua’s lips compressed into a tight line.
He could not possibly say he was investigating Mue and, upon discovering Mor’s harmful
intentions toward her, had decided to intervene. Once he admitted this, Cynthia would
inevitably ask why he was investigating Moe. Regardless of his explanation, it would
appear to Cynthia that he’d intruded into her life, making her dislike him even more.
“Yeah Mr. Neal, how did you end up there, and how did you know Moe was in room 2309?”
Yoel also expressed his curiosity, puzzled about this the entire way.
Cynthia instantly became vigilant.

For the first time, Joshua seriously contemplated the idea of shipping Yoel off to Africa.
Too much prattle
Feeling the ky tendrils of Joshua’s displeasure, Yoel buckled up and put on a brave face.
Ms. Yates, after all, was not only his idol but also hits part–time boss. If he ever lost his job
in the future, he could still seek refuge there.
“Have you been following me?” Cynthia asked pointedly.
Quick to deny, Joshua responded, “No, not at all.”
“Then how did you come to know? Aside from Moe and myself, only the person who
booked the room knew the number 2309. “Cynthia was genuinely skeptical, scrutinizing
every expression on his face.
Joshua felt a chill down his spine. “Are you suggesting 1 orchestrated this?”
“I have a brain. I do not make conclusions based on imagination,” Cynthia retorted.
Her simple response evoked memories in Joslina. Initially, he had pinned the blame on
Cynthia based on available clues and speculation. He was convinced that Jayleen’s
accident and the subsequent media frenzy was her doing
Had Cynthia been with Mitchell during Jayleen’s miscarriage, or had he not trusted Moses
that much, he might have also suspected her.
