“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.

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.
“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.

‘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.
