“Yes. Why do you ask?” He decided to stick with the boss’s instructions.
“How long were you two there?” Cynthia continued to probe.
“For a few hours. We arrived when Dr. Carter was having his meal. The boss and 1 joined
him. After the meal, Dr. Carter took the boss inside, but I’m not quite sure what happened
in there,” Yoel replied, well aware that Ms. Yates had the means to verify his response.
“You didn’t go in?”
“Dr. Carter asked me to wait outside.”
Having heard his reply, Cynthia was certain that Sean must have done something with
Joshua. There was no reason not to let Yoel in for a simple cufflink. After all, there was

“Ms. Yates, is something wrong?” Yoel asked, his heart pounding with apprehension.
“Not at all. Joshua has a fever. I’m just trying to figure out where things could have gone
wrong.” Cynthia reassured him, already planning to question Sean.
“Fever?” Yoel was bewildered “How could the boss catch a cold? He wasn’t exposed to any

“I have a question for you. If he’s instructed you not to answer, then you may choose to
remain silent. However, if I’m wrong. please correct me,” Cynthia added.
Yoel resigned himself to his fate. “Go aliead.”
“Did Joshua eat both lunch and dinner yesterday? The statement you made before you left
was that at his instructions?” Cynthia asked, cutting straight to the point.
Yorl fell silent. Indeed. Nothing could escape Ms. Yates‘ notice. After about half a rminate
