    “He has the mentality of a five–year–old “Cynthia coughed lightly, reminding Shirley.


    Shirley was extremely possessive of Cynthia and argued, “I don’t care. If he’s five years old, then I’m


    only three. If you pat his head, I’ll cry!”


    How could Cynthia’s ex–husbandpete for her affection?


    Shirley would not let him!


    Cynthia lovingly ruffled Shirley’s hair, looking amused as she thought how Shirley was just as adorable


    as when she was a


    child


    Joshua initially felt a bit sad, but when he saw Cynthia smiling, he could not help but smile too.


    “Cynthia, you’re smiling!”


    “She’s smiling because of me! It has nothing to do with you!” Shirley retorted.


    “As long as Cynthia is happy, I’m happy,” Joshua said sincerely.


    Shirley was taken aback


    Looking at the innocent face before her, her cheeks suddenly felt hot, andplex emotions surged


    within her.


    This person in front of her may be Joshua, but he was only five.


    Five years old…


    Why was she arguing with a little kid?


    “Run along now. If you want snacks, call the bodyguards to buy them. If you want to watch TV, turn it


    on yourself. I have things to attend to.” Cynthia treated their quarrel as if it were just two children


    fighting, assuming the role of an adult.


    “Okay,” Joshua obediently agreed.


    After Cynthia went to her study with a ss of water, the two of them started staring at each other.


    Before Jostrua’s incident, even a simple stare like this would make Shirley back down.


    But now!


    “Okay? What do you mean by that? When Cynthia is busy, it means you have to listen to me.” Shirley


    still wanted to argue


    with him.


    Joshua was as obedient as ever. “Okay!”


    Shirley was rendered speechless.


    Sure enough, the best way to defeat an opponent was through sincerity.


    Shirley could not act tough when facing such a sensible, well–behaved, and adorable person.


    “Go get me a ss of water.”


    “Okay.”


    “Fetch me some snacks from that cab.”


    “Sure”


    “I want some fruit.”


    “I’ll go wash it ”


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    The two of them chatted in the living room like children.


    After seeing that they were not arguing, Cynthia started focusing on her own tasks.

    There were about ten days left until the New Year, and Moe had been busy with the annual meeting


    and masquerade ball


    preparations.


    Cynthia was in a video conference with Moe, and he reported, “Ms. Yates, the hotel and schedule have


    been confirmed. The annual party will take ce on the first and second floors of the hotel. After the


    party, the singles can attend the masquerade ball on the eighth floor. Everything has been arranged ”


    Cynthia nodded. “What are the prizes for the lucky draw this year?


    “It’s simr to previous years. Three first prizes of $30,000 each, five second prizes of $20,000 each,


    ten third prizes of $ 10,000 each, and the remaining participants will receive random prizes such as


    iPads,ptops, phones, and shopping vouchers,


    Moe reported one by one.


    Arch International Group has always treated its employees exceptionally well, with generous year–end


    bonuses for everyone. As for the prizes and rewards at the annual party, they were usually consistent


    from year to year.


    Cynthia fell silent momentarily before saying, “Arrange an additional special prize.


    “Hmm?”


    “For… Matthew,” Cynthia said slowly.


    She had initially nned to assign Matthew to one of the subsidiarypanies closer to his home, but


    he had refused as he believed that he was not yetpetent enough.


    In that case, she would give Matthew a house to prevent him from constantly transferring money to her.
