Chapter 603

Moe paused for a moment before immediately blurting out, “No.”

She was his boss, and it would be improper to have such thoughts. Furthermore, he wanted to take

care of her for a lifetime, not possess her.

“Really? Not at all?”

“No.”

“We’ve become close friends, so there’s no need to feel embarrassed. Even if you did, I wouldn’t mock

you,” Yoel said, propping his head up and looking at him

“Unless Ms. Yates is hurt, asleep, or in some other special circumstance, I would hug her. However, in

all other situations, I wouldn’t. And as for kissing, never,” Mor confessed, his words more candid due to

the alcohol.

Yoel studied him for a moment, making sure he was not lying but truly felt that way.

“In that case, I can confirm with absolute certainty that your feelings for Ms. Yates is not romantic. It’s

more like the protective and caring kind, like that of a family member,” Yoel sald, his voice slurred from

the alcohol

Upon hearing this, Mae mulled over all the interactions be’d had with Cynthia.

“Or maybe it’s like a brother’s concern and care for his sister,” Yoel analyzed.

Moe added, “However, when I saw her appoint Matthew as the special assistant, and they were

together nearly every day, 1 felt uneasy, and I wanted to drive Matthew away.”

“Didn’t I tell you? It’s because you and Ms. Yates aren’t actual siblings. Arch International has probably

only ever had one special assistant, and that was you. It’s quite normal for you to feel threatened,

“Yoel, still thinking clearly, said.

Moe sank into deep thought.

Standing up and putting his drink aside, Yorl said, “Stop overthinking it, just trust me

Mue remained silent.

Ignoring Yoel’s words, Moe decided to freshen up and go to bed as soon as he sobered up a little. Both

of them, still somewhat lucid, returned to their rooms. After freshening up, they lay down in their

respective beds.

Moe fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed, not giving it another thought. However, Yoel Lay awake,

contemplating. Knowing that Mor harbored no romantic feelings for Ms. Yates brought a wave of relief

over him.

Considering the current situation, Ms. Yates had the company boss and Matthew by her sile. If Moe

truly had feelings for her, he would surely get hurt. The boss had let Ms. Yates down, but Matthew had

her trust and care. If they continued to spend time together, it was inevitable that Ms. Yates would

develop feelings for him.

Moe was bad at communicating his feelings and would not have the upper hand if he wanted to pursue

Cynthia. Fortunately, his feelings for Ms. Yates were purely protective.

After rubbing his aching temples, be switched on his phone, planning to reply to a message from the

boss, only to see a missed call notification The caller was his boss

Yoel gasped “Darnın it.”

He quickly sat up and dialed the number back.

It was half past one in the morning, and he was not sure if the boss was awake or asleep. As the dial

tone buzzed, his heart pounded in the silent, dark room.

After about seven or eight seconds, the call was answered.

“Mr. Neal Yoel asked tentatively.

“You’ve got some nerve. Did you purposely switch off your phone?” Joshua’s voice resonated with an

evident trace of

displeasure, carrying a dangerous edge.

Yoel began to fib, “No, not at all. I was just dining with Moe and didn’t notice that my phone had run out

of battery.”

Screenshot your home screen and send it to me,” Joshua unhesitatingly saw through his lie.

When Joshua left, he noticed that Yoel’s phone battery was fully charged. It had been only about two

hours, so it made no sense for the phone to be out of power.
