Yoel escorted the two of them home.
While Yordan was in the bathroom, Joshua, who was lounging on the sofa, called Yorl over, not particularly enthusiastic.
Yoel looked very Innocent. “Mr. Neal, what’s up?”
“What did youn
mean by what you said in the car?”
1/2
“Just what it sounded like”
“Who told you that’s what I was thinking?”
“Aren’t you convinced that Ms. Yates wouldn’t leave you because of your good leaks!” Yoel said honestly.
Joshua was silent.
He did not want to see Yoel anymore. “The door is to the right, I don’t want to see you right now.”
“Alright.” Yoel turned around and left.
Joshua stared at the closed door, his chest filled with a jumble of emotions.
Maybe it was the liquid courage, or maybe something else. He took out his phone and opened Cynthia’s WhatsApp. He typed in [I’m sorry but hesitated before sending it.
In the end, be deleted it and sent a (Are you there?] instead
He waited a few minutes, but it felt like centuries.
When Cynthia did not respond, he found her phone number and hit the call button.
This time, he did not hang up
When Cynthia saw his call, she was replying to Kendrick’s message.
Without any hesitation, she hung up.
However, Joshua seemed to be more persistent than ever tonight.
She hung up once, and he called twice. She hung up twice, and he called three times.
When he called the third time, Cynthia was going to hang up again, but thinking he would just keep calling, she finally answered.
She did not yell at him as she used to but asked in a calm voice, “What is it?”
After she spoke, there was no response from the other end.
After waiting about a second or two, Cynthia was about to hang up.
Just then, Joshua finally spoke, “Do you hate me a lot?”
Cynthia was confused. “Just say what you want to say. I’m busy here.”
She had intended to block him.
However, she really did not want Joshua to keep bothering her, so she did not.
“If it weren’t for the Jayleen incident, would we still be living happily together? Joshua’s voice was much quieter than usual.
Cynthia did not respond.
This hypothetical question was pointless.
She only said, “I don’t have time for idle chatter. I’m hanging up if you’re calling just to talk about trivial matters.)
Joshua did not say anything
Cynthia hung up the phone, and this time, Joshua did not call back
All his hopes vanished in that moment.
The call was his test.
Now he knew the outcome.
As for Cynthia..
After hanging up, she remained calm and unaffected by Joshua.
It seemed Kendrick felt she was replying too slowly, so he simply called her. “Have you decided about the team building event? Are you coming or not?”
“I’m not going,” Cynthia replied without hesitation.
She had never been interested in events with lots of people.
Moreover, she was merely a part–time investment advisor for the Yates Group and could not be considered a full–time employee.
