Chapter 12

“Alright,” Mitchell agreed, always ready to fulfill Cynthia’s requests.

Cynthia continued eating but could not help thinking about what was Joshua doing here?

On the other side, Joshua was pondering the same question. After joining Chyler and Yiordan in their private dining room, his mind was filled with the scene he had witnessed when he opened the door.

Why were they sitting so close at such a large table?

“What are you thinking about?” Chyler Young asked playfully, his eyes never losing their amusement. “You said you had something to discuss with us, so why are you so quiet now?”

“It’s nothing,” Joshua replied without elaborating.

Chyler and Yiordan exchanged glances.

The former was always eager to stir up trouble. “I heard that Mitchell has been a virtuous man for the past twenty–eight years, never getting too close to any woman. It seems the rumors might be false after all.”

“Hmm.” Yiordan casually sipped his wine.

Joshua felt annoyed every time he heard Mitchell’s name, so he confronted Chyler directly, ‘ You never fail to annoy me, do you?”

“Perhaps,” Chyler admitted with a smile.

The three of them had been close friends since childhood, so they were not worried about Joshua getting angry. However, Joshua was feeling quite stifled. As he caught a glimpse of Yiordan, who seemed to be minding his own business, Joshua was reminded of a television show he had watched with Cynthia while discussing matters at home. He suddenly became furious.
