“You really don’t know?!” Jimmy exclaimed.
“Know what?” Cynthia inquired.
“It’s nothing. I didn’t say anything” Jimmy began but then cut himself off.
“I’ll give you a supercar.”
“Cynthia, it’s not about the car,”
“Two limited–edition models, just for you.”
“Mitchell said he wouldn’t tell you for now.”
“How about three?”
“Captain’s coming back.”
Cynthia perked up instantly, straightening in her seat. “Where did you get this news?”
“From Mitchell. He really didn’t tell you? I thought he was joking.” Jimmy revealed before spilling all the news.
Cynthia could hardly remain calm. If Captain was coming back, could it be to settle scores with her?
“What’s the matter?” Jimmy asked, steering the car into the parking lot of his apartment complex.
Cynthia rubbed her temples, her heart still harboring a sliver of unease. “It’s nothing.”
She and Jimmy alighted from the car.
A little while later, after climbing the stairs and gulping down a glass of water to soothe her nerves, she turned to Jimmy, who was now lounging on the sofa. “Did Mitchell tell you when Captain is coming back?
“He didn’t mention it.” Jimmy shook his head.
Cynthia put down her glass, mulling over it. “Give him a call.”
Jimmy was a perceptive man. “Cynthia.”
“Hmm?
“Did you do something behind Captain’s back?” Jimmy asked, seriousness etched on his face.
“No. I’m just asking.” Cynthia took another sip of water, appearing quite composed
“Really?”
“Don’t you
“I do.” Jimmy’s response was curt and decisive.
Cynthia gave a nod of approval, instructing him to send a message to Mitchell. She feared that if they called, Jimmy might inadvertently spill the beans under Mitchell’s manipulation.
Being obedient to Cynthia’s words, Jimmy took out his phone and texted Mitchell as per her instructions, [Mitchell, you mentioned last time that Captain said he would be back. Do you know when that would be?”
[Mitchell: What’s up?]
[Jimmy: Thinking about throwing Captain a welcome party.
After sending that message, there was no response from the other side. Jimmy’s heart pounded nervously. Subconsciously, his gaze flitted to Cynthia as he asked, “Why has Mitchell suddenly stopped replying?”
Cynthia could only shake her head, She was as clueless as he was,

Before long, Mitchell’s call came through. Jimmy was so startled that he shuddered all over, looking guilty as he stuttered, ” Ph… phone call.”
“Answer it. Stay calm and don’t give anything away,” Cynthia remained composed.
After taking several deep breaths to compose himself, jimmy picked up the phone and switched to speaker mode. “Hello, Mitchell.”
“The question you just asked… it was Cyn who asked you to ask, wasn’t it?” Mitchell’s deep and slow voice came over the line, the tone more affirmative than inquisitive.
Jimmy turned to look at Cynthia instinctively. Had they been found out already?
Cynthia took his phone from him, remarking casually, “It’s difficult to fool those who know you well.”
They say your enemies know you better than you know yourself. However, for Cynthia, the ones who knew her best were Mitchell and Captain.
