“No need to apologize to me. After all, you didn’t do anything wrong to me,” Cynthia said,

knowing that her words would hit him hard, but it was unavoidable.

Kendrick was first confused but instantly became shocked.

His hand froze mid–air, no longer pulling his hair.

“What do you mean by that?”

Why did he have a bad feeling about this? Could it be that he went crazy with alcohol in

public?

That should not be the case. He would never allow himself to act that way in public, and

Cynthia knew how much he cared about his reputation.

“You were at…” Cynthia began to speak, but her words were cut off.

“I got it!” Kendrick quickly interrupted, relieved that the truth was not as cruel as he had

imagined. “I went crazy with alcohol at Mr. Tom’s place, and he had no choice but to call

you?”

It must be it!

How could he face Lionel with a serious demeanor in the future?

Lionel would definitely think of him as a hypocrite.

Cynthia thought about which situation was more embarrassing–acting crazy in front of his

personal secretary or in front of someone he was not very familiar with. She concluded

that it was slightly better in front of someone he was not very familiar

with

After all, they would not have to face each other every day.

“It’s not as bad as you think,” Cynthia reassured him

In the midst of his frustration, Kendrick saw a glimmer of hope. This time, he did not

speculate further. After all, he had already imagined the worst possible outcome. If

Cynthia said it was not that bad, he could accept it

“So, I had a drunken episode there?”

“At Joshua’s place,” Cynthia said, remaining particularly calm.

Kendrick’s whole body stiffened, and he felt like someone had hit the pause button on his

life.

Joshua’s place?

At! Joshua! Neal’s! Place!

Kendrick felt his world was crumbling, and despair filled his expression.

This was what Cynthia meant by ‘not as bad as I think‘?

It would have been better if Lionel had witnessed it instead.

After all, Joshua was Cynthia’s ex–husband!

This was too embarrassing!

“But that doesn’t make sense. Why would I go to Joshua’s place? Even If I were drunk, Mr.

Tom should have been the one to bring me back.” Kendrick stopped messing with his hair

and frowned, deep in thought.

The setup they arranged yesterday was for him to get to know Joshua better, to test his

character, and to see why he had let Cynthia down.

This kind of setup did not require Lionel to drink, and it would not have stopped him from

bringing Kendrick back.

“When Mr. Cheyne asked if Joshua should take you back or if Mr. Tom should, you chose

Joshua. Since Joshua didn’t know

where you lived, he took you home.” Cynthia relayed the conversation without knowing

the full details,

Kendrick was at a loss for words.

That was impossible.

Cynthia must be lying

How could he have chosen to go with Joshua?

“I almost fell for your trick.” Kendrick gave her a knowing look, snorted, and said, “I didn’t

expect that you would even start tricking, people.”

Cynthia just looked at him and did not respond.

At first, Kendrick deceived himself, thinking, that Cynthia was just teasing him. However,

as he finished his breakfast and Cynthia still did not give him a clear answer, he started to

believe her a little

“Are you telling the truth?” Kendrick finally asked.

Cynthia glanced at the time and said, “You can ask Mr. Tom. He should be getting ready for

work by now.”

Yes, yes, yes! Ask Lionel!

Kendrick felt around on the sofa and found his phone. Then, he decided to call Lionel.

Chapter 316

Before Kendrick made the call, Lionel’s call came.

“Mr. Yates, should I pick you up from Mr. Neal’s house, or will you come to the company

yourself?”

For Kendrick, this sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shattering his last bit of hope.

“Did I really leave with Joshua last night?”

“Yes, Mr. Yates.”

“Why didn’t you stop me? As my secretary, is it appropriate for you to let the CEO of a

cooperating company take me away?” Kendrick was completely shattered.

“It’s not appropriate,” Lionel responded without hesitation.

“Then why did you let Joshua take me away?”

“I wanted to take you back myself, but you rejected me and chose Mr. Neal. Both of you

told me to leave, so I had no choice but to leave,” Lionel spoke truthfully

Honestly, Lionel was still puzzled as to why Kendrick would go with Joshua instead of with

him. After all, they had only

recently met Joshua.

Kendrick hung up the phone decisively, collapsing into despair as he rested his head on

the table. Then, he looked at Cynthia as if he had lost all hope

“Cyn, just kill me. I don’t want to live anymore.”

Embarrassing.

It was too embarrassing!!

“Let’s not be in a hurry to give up on life. You still have to apologize to Joshua and

compensate for the damaged items.” Cynthia’s words were like another stab to him while

he was down

Kendrick was puzzled

What damaged items?

Amidst the mix of emotions, he really wanted to die quickly and painlessly.

“What exactly happened at his place last night?”

“I don’t know the specifics, but when you called me, you imagined yourself as Superman.

You told me not to come and find you, saying that Joshua wanted to eliminate me and

claim to be the number one in the world.” Cynthia provided a general description as she

did not know the exact details.

Kendrick snapped,

What kind of insane remarks were these?!

“You also said he would beat Joshua up,” Cynthia added.

Kendrick remained silent.

Cynthia continued, “And one more thing.”

“What is it?

“You mistook the drunkenness from drinking as Joshua poisoning you and wanted to purge

the poison out of your system.” Cynthia always spoke with the utmost calmness, saying

the most plercing words.

This time, Kendrick truly wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

If only he had not watched so many fantasy TV shows and read so many superhero comics

before.

Chapter 316

This was simply too awkward for him.

“If you feel embarrassed to apologize, I can apologize on your behalf when I help him

recover the phone data, and I’ll make sure everything is compensated for.” Cynthia

understood Kendrick’s embarrassment, and slur probably would not want to

face it either.

“I’ll go myself.”

Kendrick took a deep breath and decided.

So what if he died of embarrassment?

As long as he was not the one feeling awkward, it would be others!

When he went, he would apologize with a serious and solemn face. Even if Joshua wanted

to laugh at him, he could not find a

reason to.

Hmph!

Cynthia raised an eyebrow, probing, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.” Kendrick had made up his mind.

“Alright.” Cynthia did not stop him but just said, “Let me know when you’re going so that I

can go and handle the phone issue as well.”

Kendrick nodded.

The two of them casually tidied up and left

When Kendrick arrived at Yates Group with Cynthia, Lionel approached him as usual.

“Don’t wander around in front of me today. I don’t want to see you,” Kendrick coldly

rejected him.

Chapter 317

Lionel was confused.

What did he do? Kendrick treated him so poorly.

To avoid being wrongly blamed, Lionel followed Kendrick and approached him in the office

after Cynthia went to attend to her own matters.

He asked. “Mr. Yares, is it because of last night that you don’t want to see me?”

Kendrick’s expression turned cold.

He had the nerve to say that!

“Well, that’s not my fault. After you chose Mr. Neal, I confirmed with you again, and you

said I didn’t need to accompany you, forcing me to leave,” Lionel explained. His intuition

told him that if he did not clarify this matter, Kendrick would definitely not give him a

bonus.

Kendrick retorted, “I was drunk at that time. Can you trust what a drunk person says?”

Lionel did not answer.

No… He could not.

However, Joshua had such a strong presence that he did not dare to compete with him

“If I get drunk again one day and tell you I want to bungee jump without a rope, would you

push me off the building? Kendrick asked.

Lionel was on the verge of falling apart. “Mr. Yates, stop pulling my legs.”

“You’re the one doing this to me.” Kendrick felt frustrated when he thought about all the

childish things he had done at Joshua’s place..

Nonetheless, he still could not understand why he chose Joshua.

Why?!

It did not make sense.

“Do you remember what Joshua said about taking me back?” Kendrick still felt that

something was off. “I want you to repeat it word for word without skipping a single detail.”

Cynthia mentioned that the information she shared came from Yoel, who was with Joshua.

Whether or not they lied to Cynthia remains unknown. However, Lionel would not deceive

him.

“Mr. Neal asked whether you wanted me to take your home or if he should do it, and you

chose him,” Lionel stated straightforwardly.

At the time, when Joshua called out ‘Ken‘, only Yoel heard it clearly. Lionel was too focused

on Kendrick’s reaction and did not pay much attention to Joshua’s address.

Kendrick gave up.

After saying he wanted to be alone, he dismissed Lionel and spent the whole day in the

office, questioning his life choices.

The entire day passed,

Cynthia had been waiting for Kendrick to make a decision. However, even after work

hours, she had not heard Kendrick say he

would apologize to Joshua.

At exactly live–thirty in the evening, Cynthia received a WhatsApp message on her phone.

It was from Joshua, informing her that the new phone was ready and asking her to help

transfer the data.

Chapter 317

Cynthia replied with a simple, [Okay.]

She decided to change all the notes and contacts related to Joshua on her phone.

Considering what happened last night when Yoel used her phone to call, she thought it

would be better not to give Joshua any reason to argue with Kendrick.

However, right after changing the notes, she found her own behavior somewhat strange.

In the end, she changed them back, using them as a reminder not to have too much

contact with him.

After that, Cynthia put her phone in her pocket and went to Kendrick’s office to find him.

Kendrick had done nothing all day, and the paperwork had pilled up.

Cynthia noticed his gloomy and dispirited state and asked concernedly. “What’s wrong

with you? Are you sick?”

“It’s not that”

“Then what is it?” Cynthila assessed his condition.

Kendrick let out a sigh of despair and said, “The after–effects of being drunk.”

No one knew how he had spent the day.
