    Chapter 459


    “It’s just a meal, so it’s not a big deal. Or do you think I’m so poor that I can’t even afford to treat you to


    meals?” Matthew


    chimed in.


    “Captain…” Cynthia thought about slipping away for the umpteenth time. At this moment, she seemed


    to suddenly understand why the others asked her to run when they found out about this news.


    Matthew was constantly causing her psychological pressure.


    Ding!


    The elevator had stopped at their floor, and Cynthia just wanted to escape.


    Shirley joined Cynthia while Matthew carried the suitcases and followed behind the two.


    He looked at Cynthia, who was trying to slip away, and a barely perceptible smile flickered in his eyes,


    but it vanished instantly.


    After Shirley followed Cynthia into the apartment, she sensed something was amiss. “Cynthia, do you


    have a bad rtionship with Matthew? Did he offend you?


    “No.

    “Then why don’t you like him?”


    Cynthia stopped in her act of changing shoes. “Do I give off that impression?”


    “Yes!”


    “Maybe I’ve always been a bit indifferent, and you misunderstood,” Cynthia exined.


    Shirley, who knew Cynthia well, insisted, “No, you’re different with himpared to others. You’re


    distant and indifferent with others, but it’s like you don’t want to have too much interaction with him. It’s


    as if you can say one word but never two.”


    Cynthia walked into the apartment, her emotions slightly stirred by Shirley’s words.


    If even Shirley had noticed it, Matthew would surely do too since he knew them all well.


    He… would not overthink it, right?


    “Do you really have a conflict?” Shirley suddenly felt guilty and regretful about her previous actions and


    words. If Cynthia and Matthew had a conflict, then she would only cause trouble for Cynthia.


    Oh no…


    Shirley felt like such an idiot!


    “There’s no conflict. Our rtionship is very good, and we trust each other. We just haven’t seen each


    other in a long time, so it’s a bit awkward,” Cynthia exined as she handed Shirley a ss of water,


    noticing her self-ming


    “Really?”


    “Mhun.”


    Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she moved closer to Cynthia and started gossiping, “Is there a


    possibility.


    “What?”


    “That you like him. Only when you secretly like someone would you not know how to face them,”


    Shirley probed.


    Cynthia was speechless and handed Shirley the ss of water, giving her the side-eye.


    Even if she had feelings for Mitchell, she would not have feelings for Captain.


    Unless she wanted to be reprimanded.


    2/2


    Shirley held the ss of water, confused.


    So Cynthia did not like him? Then why was she acting so out of character?


    “I’m going outter tonight. Are you going to eat here or go back? Cynthia thought about the gathering


    tonight and felt a headacheing on.


    “I’ll go back,” Shirley replied. She had onlye to hang out.


    After hearing her response, Cynthia called the driver to pick up Shirleyter. Once she was done with


    these tasks, she sat with Shirley in the living room, watching TV.


    However, Cynthia’s mind had drifted elsewhere. She wondered if she should cancel the gathering


    tonight. After all, it was just a wee party for Matthew, whom she had already met before.


    Whether she attended or not probably would not matter, and she would go after Riley and the others


    returned.


    Yes, that was how it would be


    Unfortunately, ns would often not keep up


    with changes. Before Cynthia could decide on an excuse not to go, Matthew had


    already knocked on her door, asking her toe out..


    Matthew stood at her doorstep, wearing a mid-length ck coat, looking extremely pleasing to the


    eyes.
