Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money
Chapter 63
âOnly cleaning toilets?â Yoel was surprised. If this were in the past, they would have had their bonus
deducted.
Joshua could not help but feel annoyed when he heard the word âtoiletsâ as it reminded him of Cynthia
asking him to dine in the bathroom.
âDo you want to clean the toilets too?â Joshua asked.
âItâs probably better to leave this glorious task to the department managers,â Yoel smiled and declined.
The rest of the team was shocked.
How could it be glorious?
Joshuaâs mind was occupied with Cynthiaâs act, and he did not want to talk to them any longer, so he
told them to leave.
âMr. Neal, are you having lunch now, or are you going to wait for dinner? The lunch we ordered is still
fresh, and if you need it, I can get it now,â Yoel asked after everyone had left.
Joshua glanced at him. âYouâre in charge of cleaning the toilets on this floor for the next two months.â
âMr. Nealâ¦.â
âTwo months.â
âYes, Mr. Nealâ¦â Yoel did not dare argue.
He returned to his office, still confused about why Joshua suddenly had a thing for cleaning toilets. He
wanted to vent to his buddy, so he sent a message on WhatsApp, saying, [Our president has gone
crazy. He suddenly has a thing for cleaning toilets. However, heâs not deducting bonuses or salaries,
just making us all clean toilets. Iâve been affected too.]
OffâDuty Worker replied, [Youâre getting paid as a personal assistant, but doing the work of a janitor.
You shouldnât be ungrateful.]
Yoel replied, [When will your president come back from vacation? Itâs been two years, and he still has
not returned to work. Isnât he afraid of the company going bankrupt?â
OffâDuty Worker replied, [Even if your Neal Group goes bankrupt, our company wonât.]
Yoel promptly closed WhatsApp and refused to chat further with him.
He could not figure it out.
What kind of person was his president? He took two years off and even gave this guy a vacation. Not
only that, but he continued to pay him a salary and bonuses.
When asked who his president was, he refused to answer and said it was classified.
At that moment, the brilliant manager in Yoelâs mind was at home learning about the projects of the
Neal Group and the Yates. Group. Then, halfway through her research, a phone call came in.
Seeing that it was her personal assistant calling, Cynthia answered and put it on speaker. The voice on
the other end immediately said, âMs. Yates, when are you returning from your vacation?â
âWhatâs the matter?â Cynthia asked.
âYouâve been on vacation for two years,â the voice on the other end said.
âAs the companyâs president, you should care about the company.â
Cynthia remained quiet.
âIf you keep playing around like this, Iâll have to run the company.â
âThatâs a good idea,â Cynthia replied.
âMs. Yates, please take this seriously,â the voice on the other end said, cool and slightly stern.
Cynthia answered, checking her calendar, âI understand. Iâll be back in two weeks. Iâve asked for an
investment advisor position at Yates Group, so you may need to work a bit harder on the company
side.â
âYou only need to come back to work and sign some documents occasionally Iâll take care of the rest,â
the calm voice came through as if there was no emotion.
Cynthia also felt reassured. âOkay.â
After that, they ended the call.
Joshua and Cynthia did not contact each other for the next two days. Regardless of whether it was
Joshua or Cynthia, they both decided not to have any contact with each other before they received
their divorce certificate.
However, things did not go as planned. Cynthia and Joshua unexpectedly met each other because of
an accident.
It was Saturday night, and Cynthia went out to buy something. Since it was just a short distance away,
she walked. However, when she passed through an alleyway, she was stopped by a dozen men
holding baseball bats.
Cynthia scanned her surroundings and the men one by one, and finally, her gaze settled on a shadow
holding a phone toward her in the depths of the alleyway.
In almost an instant, she understood. These people had made preparations, and if they beat her up in
this surveillanceâless alleyway, she would be in trouble.
