“I get it. I’m not misunderstanding. Just relax 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 can come to my place 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–in–law’s spoiling of Shirley would lead to her becoming 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 villa.
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, particularly their presence in this place.

“Understood,” Cynthia replied with an air of indifference. After all, this was not a place her mother often resided. “You shouldn’t stand out here either. Report to the surveillance room for duty, and only come out if something seems off.”
“No!” the two bodyguards simultaneously protested,
Cynthia was puzzled, and so was Shirley.
“Don’t worry. Your salaries 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 surveillance 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, clearly comfortable 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 salaries 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.
