Chapter 407
Yoel glanced at Joshua through the rearview mirror and ventured, “If you don’t want to let
Ms. Yates go, why don’t you ask her to stay?”
“You think it’s that easy?” Joshua retorted. If asking her to stay would help, he would have
done it a long time ago.
Yoel touched his nose, chose to stay silent, and concentrated on driving.
“Didn’t you say Moe was working as an assistant at another company? Why is he with
Cynthia now?” Joshua finally started to think
“I’m not entirely sure. He said his previous hoss is on vacation, and he’s currently working
part–time for Ms. Yates,” Yoel honestly confessed.
“And if you were in his shoes, would you take on a part–time job? Joshua’s tone grew
colder, his gaze darker.
Yoel, noticing Joshua’s expression, decided to answer honestly, “No, I wouldn’t.”
He would also take time off if his boss were on vacation. Regardless, he would still receive
his salary, whether he worked or not. Most importantly, Moe was not in need of money.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe’d saved all his earnings over the years, so there was no question of being short on
funds.
Joshua was beginning to have his suspicions. “Why would Moe take a part–time job with
Cynthia?”
Yoel was at a loss for words. What was he supposed to say? That Moe fancied Ms. Yates
and wished to be close to her?
With Yoel’s answer not forthcoming, Joshua’s eyebrows began to knit together. “Speak
up.”
“Besides admiration, what else could it be? Don’t you already know this?” Yoel was heart–
throbbing as he spoke.
“That’s not the point,” Joshua declared, void of emotion. If Moe simply admired Cynthia,
there were other ways to get close to her. By becoming her assistant, apart from giving
out work assignments, he would hardly see Cynthia most of the time.
Yoel was taken aback as he drove steadily. “Then what is it?”
“Could it be that Moe’s boss is Cynthia herself? Joshua ventured his guess.
Yoel appeared slightly surprised. “I thought about that earlier, but it seems unlikely.”
“Why not?”
“Mae mentioned his boss is on vacation again. But Ms. Yates has been working these
days.”
“Again?” Joshua caught onto the crucial word.
“His boss took a two–year vacation earlier, during which Moe was also off, with his salary
paid as usual. They just resumed work recently,” Yorl explained. Then, with a smirk, he
aslord, “Mr. Neal, if you took a two–year vacation, would you also grant me the same, with
my salary paid as usual?”
“Dream on,” Joshua responded coldly.
Yoel sighed inwardly. He had expected that. Bosses like Mae’s were indeed one in a
million.
“Look into which company Moe worked at previously. Get the details.” Joshua’s suspicions
grew stronger with the mention of the two–year vacation.
Although Yoel was reluctant, he complied, “Alright.”

Jimmy’s car.
As soon as Jimmy saw Cynthia, he launched Into a string of chatter. “Cynthia, didn’t you
divorce Joshua? How come you’re still involved with him?”
Cynthia remained silent.
“By the way, is it true what Mitchell said about that person appearing?”
Cynthia kept her silence.
“Cynthia, why aren’t you saying anything?” After chattering away without a response from
Cynthia, Jimmy could not help but ask her.
“How am I supposed to answer when you’re throwing a barrage of questions at me?”
Cynthia was relatively relaxed in his company.
Jimmy, with one hand on the steering wheel, appeared slightly embarrassed. He did not
ask any of his previous questions but switched topics. “Oh, by the way, do you know about
Captain?”
“What’s the matter?” Cynthia perked up at the mention of Captain as the memory of her
previous call with Captain came flooding back.
