Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 431

Chapter 431 “Right,” began Mitchell, adjusting his glasses to make himself look more sophisticated. “Mor, what made you decide to become Cyn’s assistant in the first place?” Caught off guard, Moe looked somewhat stunned, as if he had never expected Mitchell to pose this question. However, he quickly regained composure and replied, “The boss was hiring” It was an impeccable answer, leaving no room for criticism. Mitchell raised his eyebrows, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, but he said nothing more Cynthia found his reaction puzzling, unable to fathom the point he was trying to make. She chose not to probe further and continued chatting casually. As evening approached and the sky began to darken, Kendrick glanced at his watch and announced, “You all carry on. I need to prepare something.” It was the main event of the evening, and he did not want anything to go wrong Cynthia, without giving it much thought, let him proceed. Once Kendrick left, Cynthia finally asked the question she had been holding back due to his presence. “Has Captain mentioned when he might be back?” “Why are you so concerned? Did you do something to upset Captain?” Mitchell queried, genuinely curious. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“No,” Cynthia denied outright. She would never admit such a thing Mitchell adjusted his glasses, a skeptical look in his eyes. Cynthia’s behavior was far from usual. Knowing the less said, the better, Cynthia changed the subject, “Just tell me if he’s contacted you.’ He has,” Mitchell answered truthfully. Cynthia was surprised Really? She feigned calmness but was slightly anxious. “What did he say?” “He’ll be back on the 7th. He said he wants to meet with us,” Mitchell revealed, showing her their chat history. Cynthia read the messages. Indeed, the Captain was expected back on the 7th and had specifically asked Mitchell not to inform her yet. She was supposed to meet Old Man Tanz on the 6th. Unless

something unexpected happened, their discussion should conclude within the day, after which she would head to the airport. Once the Captain left or was busy, she would return. This he would likely not have the time to discuss the events of that day with her, ensuring her relative safety. “What’s on your mind?” Mitchell asked, noticing her deep in thought Without missing a beat, Cynthia lied, “Just thinking about what to talk about when we see the Captain. The atmosphere won’t be as lively without those four around.” Her demeanor was typically calm, as was Mitchell’s. Captain was even more reserved. Jimmy was the only chatterbox among them. However, even Jimmy, the loquacious one, would turn into a well- behaved child in the Captain’s presence. “There’s no need for liveliness,” Mitchell noted, seeing through the matter at a glance. He and Jimmy were merely the backdrop. The one the Captain wanted to see was Cyn. However, some people remained blissfully unaware of this fact. Cynthia asked, taken aback, “Really?” “Captain will probably test our physical fitness when he arrives. That will liven up the atmosphere on its own,” Mitchell replied, the corners of his lips twitching upwards as he spun a tale with a straight face. Cynthia rolled her eyes. She bid them farewell. None of their conversations was hidden from Mae. Moe knew some details, but he was not the type to inquire or comment excessively. “It was just a juke, don’t take it seriously. It’s getting late. Let’s go eat first, and then we can chat some more,” Mitchell reassured, seeing the change in her expression. Chapter 431 ‘Alright,” Cynthia agreed. The trio got up from the pavilion and began walking toward the wide, open meadow. As they approached, Cynthia noticed śendrick, who was off in the distance, talking to Shirley and Jimmy. Around them were numerous boxes, but due to the Jarkness and distance of over thirty meters, she could not make out what they were.
