Chapter 318

If someone came to the door to deliver documents or discuss business, Kendrick had to put on a lively

facade to deal with them. Once they left, he would slump back in his chair.

He had never felt so socially dead and desperate in his life.

Cynthia was at a loss for words.

She sensed his dread of such situations and suggested, “Why don’t you handle these documents, and

I’ll take care of things with Joshua?”

“No need. I’m just mentally preparing myself,” Kendrick refused.

Cynthia did not want to get too involved with fashna in the first place, and if she were to go instead, it

would not reflect well on him as an older cousin.

Cynthia did not expose him and simply replied, “Alright, take your time. I’ll go ahead.”

“Wait!” Kendrick called her back

He definitely could not go alone.

It would be too easy for Joshua to mock him mercilessly. If Cynthia was there, at least Joshua would

not be too arrogant.

Cynthia turned around.

After much deliberation and conflicting emotions, Kendrick said, “Can you handle these documents for

me, and I’ll prepare myself one last time?”

“I’ll take my leave,” Cynthia refused.

Kendrick stood up and chased after her, blocking her path. Then, he began to act cute and whine,

“Cyn.”

“You’re my cousi

“So what? Can’t I art cute so that you take pity on me?”

That kind of made sense, and she could not argue with that.

“Just help me with this. I’m really not in the right mindset to work today, Just this once!” Kendrick’s tone

softened.

Cynthia stared at him for a while and finally could not resist his persistent pleading.

After informing Joshua that she would be late, Cynthia started reviewing the documents.

She would read one, and Kendrick would sign it.

As she watched Cynthia work, Kendrick felt extremely proud.

Men were often considered attractive when they worked, but Kendrick felt that Cynthia was even more

attractive than any

She exuded the aura of a capable and charismatic executive, like a true queen,

“Cyil”

“Yes?

“You look really beautiful.”

Cynthia intended to say a few words to him, but considering his mod had improved slightly, she

decided not to twist the knife in the wound.

After finishing with the documents, it was already right at night. Kendrick sent Lionel a message asking

him to pick up the files from the office on his own, and then he went to Joshua’s house with Cynthia.

Once they arrived downstairs at Joshua’s place, Kendrick parked the car, and his relaxed mood quickly

turned nervous again. What if he mocks me later?”

“He won’t.”

But what if?” Kendrick was genuinely anxious.

Cynthia secretly sighed and tried to reassure him, “If he mocks you, I’ll fire back at him for you.”

No, that won’t work. If I do that, he’ll think even less of me.” Kendrick panicked.

Cynthia rarely saw him like this and asked, “Then what do you want to do?

“I don’t know.”

“If you don’t know, get out of the car first, and we’ll figure it out when we go upstairs.”

After saying that, Cynthia got out of the car.

Kendrick wanted to delay a bit longer, but Cynthia dragged him out.

Amidst the complex emotions, Kendrick followed Cynthia to Joshua’s doorstep.

Cynthia pressed the doorbell.

Kendrick’s heart pounded as he imagined what he and Joshua would say to each other once they met.

Would they exchange sarcastic remarks?

The sound of the door opening interrupted Kendrick’s random thoughts.

Joshua opened the door, and when he saw Cynthia, his eyes lit up for a moment..

He was about to let her in when he noticed Kendrick standing beside her.
