    “I get it. I’m not misunderstanding. Just rx and go. I’ll handle everything else,” Shirley said with a


    naive and innocent smile on her face.


    Cynthia did not say anything, but she knew Shirley was definitely misunderstanding


    “You cane to my ce at noon on the 29th. As long as they see you, whether we have lunch or


    not doesn’t matter, Matthew offered, not wanting to put Cynthia in a difficult position.


    “Really?” asked Cynthia


    If this were true, it would indeed be the best choice.


    Matthew simply nodded in agreement.


    Once the matter was settled, the four of them began their dinner. Zachary took meticulous care of


    Shirley throughout the meal, often serving her the dishes she wanted even before she reached out for


    therr..


    His attention to detail made Cynthia feel a bit inadequate. Sometimes, she wondered whether her


    future brother–inw’s spoiling of Shirley would lead to her bing spoiled. However, she quickly


    dismissed the thought. Shirley had always been independent when she was not around; she would not


    be spoiled that easily,


    After dinner, a van arrived to pick them up. The driver first dropped Matthew and Zachary before b


    to their usual vi.


    Cynthia and Shirley


    The guards at the gate were visibly startled when they saw Cynthia return, but they soon greeted them,


    “Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Shirley.”


    “Is father at home?”

    “Yes…” Their voices faltered.


    Cynthia, with her acute perception, sensed something was amiss and halted her steps toward the


    interior. “What’s the matter?


    “Ms. Shayne and Ms. Quinn are here. Our Chairman initially didn’t want them inside. However,


    considering the snow outside and their inadequate attire, he had no choice but to invite them in,”


    informed the bodyguards, well aware of Cynthia’s disdain. for the pair, particrly their presence in this


    ce.


    “Understood,” Cynthia replied with an air of indifference. After all, this was not a ce her mother often


    resided. “You shouldn’t stand out here either. Report to the surveince room for duty, and onlye


    out if something seems off.”


    “No!” the two bodyguards simultaneously protested,


    Cynthia was puzzled, and so was Shirley.


    “Don’t worry. Your sries and bonuses will be delivered as usual. Cynthia assumed they were worried


    about their pay and added reassuringly


    “That’s not the point.” The two bodyguards, both in their thirties and reasonably handsome, expressed


    their preference for their outdoor posts over the surveince room with a hint of pride.


    Cynthia remained somewhat baffled.


    “I don’t follow…”


    “Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Shirley, please proceed inside. It’s cold out here. If we can’t hear it any longer, we’ll


    come inside.” One of the bodyguards smiled, clearlyfortable with Cynthia


    “Don’t push yourselves too hard.” Cynthia lunew their stubbornness all too well.


    “Roger that!” The two men seemed fully energized.


    Once Cynthia stepped inside, the bodyguards resumed their pasts like sentinels, their splits high. Their


    thoughts were simple. When they did not know what to do, it was Ms. Yates who offered them their


    current positions, provided them with training, and paid their wages. Without her, they doubted they


    could earn such substantial sries given their skills and education.


    In that case, they must protect Ms. Yates’s home diligently.


    Upon entering, Cynthia and Shirley saw Mandy and Michelle sitting in the living room, with Mr. Yates


    facing them, a frown of concern creasing his forehead. As the sound of the opening door reached


    them, Jonathan instinctively turned his gaze toward the door. After a pause, he rose and walked over.


    His demeanor was noticeably awkward when he recognized Cynthia and Shirley.
