“Other employees bringing breakfast for the boss is normal. But Captain, ask yourself, was

your intention of bringing breakfast to Cyn really innocent? You haven’t forgotten about

that time you gave me a bottle of water and made me run ten kilometers carrying

weights, have you?” Alex chimed in.

“I also remember the time you brought me food and tripled my training,” Linus added.

Matthew, seemingly unconcerned, sat there, a challenging undertone in his voice, “Are

you criticizing me?”

Alex and Linus were taken aback, Damn, they walked right into a trap.

“So, are you really going to give Cyn a hard time?” Riley concluded.

Before Matthew could respond, Cynthia, who had been listening to their conversation in a

dazed state, suddenly sat up. With slightly unfocused eyes, she looked over at him and

asked in a soft voice, “Captain, didn’t you promise not to hold a grudge? How can you go

back on your word?”

Perhaps because she was still under the influence of alcohol, her voice and manner were

somewhat childlike, which made Riley and the others want to pinch her cheeks. In fact,

Riley and Gaby did just that.

Matthew rose to his feet. His tall frame was accentuated by his long legs. “Stay safe on

your way home. I will take Cynthia back first.

During his brief address, he had begun walking toward Cynthia.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” she asked as he was about to lead her away.

“We’ll talk later,” Matthew responded, pulling her up from Riley’s side. His voice was deep

and indulgent, as though he were trying to soothe her. “Do you want me to carry you, or

do you want to walk?”

Cynthia shook her head, her voice muffled, “I can walk on my own.”

“Alright,” Matthew complied, always willing to listen to her. Once he confirmed she could

walk, he turned back to the group. and instructed with care in his voice, “Don’t drive after

drinking. Call a driver. Let the group know when you get home.”

“Okay..“The group was somewhat slow to react.

However, Matthew paid them no mind, leading Cynthia away.

Once he left, the atmosphere in the private room shifted. There were looks of confusion,

and surprise was particularly evident on the faces of Riley and Gaby.

“I feel like Captain is acting… a bit strange toward Cyn, doesn’t he?” Riley was the first to

comment.

Gaby nodded in agreement. “I’ve known Captain for a while, but I’ve never seen him be so

gentle with anyone.”

“Does that mean Cynthia is in deep trouble? Even worse than what happened to Little

Linus and Alox?“ Jimny chimed in, genuine concern in his naive eyes,

Riley and Gaby exchanged glances.

They somehow did not think that was the case.

“Could there be a possibility. That our austere and indifferent Captain… likes Cyn?” Alex

suggested hesitantly.

Linus pondered the scene they had just witnessed. “I think that’s highly likely.”

If they were the ones drunk, Captain would just pick them up and carry them home. There

was no way he would have asked so gently whether they wanted to be carried or to walk

on their own. Something was definitely up!

“Mitchell the Fox, what do you think?” Alex asked, passing the question onto him.

Mitchell chuckled enigmatically without revealing too much. “Didn’t I tell you all? Captain

is just being very nice to Cyn.”
