To Shirley, Old Man Yates had always been a superhero. Whatever she wanted, he would make it happen. Cynthia wanted Shirley to be happy for the rest of her life. That would be enough as long as she and Old Man Yates understood the situation.
Cynthia let out a sigh, about to buy some of Shirley’s favorite treats, when the phone in her hand started vibrating. The name ‘Joshua‘ appeared on the screen.
She swiped to answer. “Hello?”
“How’s your family?” Joshua asked.
“They’re fine.”
“I want you to come with me to a dinner party tomorrow night. Send me your address, and I’ll have Yoel pick you up.”
Cynthia furrowed her brow. “A dinner party?”
“Yes, with the chairman of Yates Group.” Joshua’s attractive voice came through the phone.
Cynthia groaned inwardly.
Joshua sat in his hotel room, staring at the email Cynthia had sent him earlier. As he read the contents, his eyes darkened. “Didn’t you say you were the heir to Yates Group? It would be easier for us to talk if you came.”

“She won’t.” Joshua was certain.
“Really?”
“Yes.”

“Jayleen is not like you. I had Yoel tell her about this, and she agreed.”
Cynthia just said, “Oh.” Her emotions were unreadable.
Jayleen might be able to handle other matters, but after their encounter at the hospital, it was clear she valued her position as Joshua’s wife too much. anxious she would become.
