Chapter 71

Cynthia hurried into the elevator. Soon, she was outside the CFO's office

The secretarial department was outside Jonathan's office. It was oisy that day, Cynthia seemed to hear Shirley's voice. Cynthia paused for a few seconds and went to Jonathan's office.

Jonathan was staring at the laptop with a serious expression. His eyes lit up when he saw Cynthia. He got up, walked to Cynthia's side, put his hands on her waist, and lowered his head to kiss her. He sounded happy and surprised. "Why are you here?"

Cynthia smiled and said, "I'm here for a free meal."

Jonathan was dissatisfied. "Couldn't you say you miss me?"

Cynthia replied, "Okay. I miss you."

Jonathan said, "Hmph! You're just being perfunctory."

Cynthia was speechless. Jonathan!"

Jonathan hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "I'm just kidding. You're willing to grace me with your presence. If I am unsatisfied with it, I'd be ungrateful.

Then, he lowered his head and gently pecked Cynthia's lips. "Give me a few minutes. I will be ready soon.

Only then did Cynthia replace out that Jonathan was having a video conference on his laptop. She was dumbfounded. She thought, 'Did the people at the other end of the video conference hear us flirting?'

Cynthia was embarrassed. However, she was only embarrassed for a few seconds and then calmly sat on the couch to wait for Jonathan.

That day's video conference was the company's video meeting. At the other end of the video, there were more than 10000 employers of Bennett Group. Jonathan suddenly left, but everyone had heard the sound clearly. It was probably the rumored Cynthia. That wasn't unusual. However, they had never seen the other side of Jonathan, other than his cold-hearted and ruthless side. They wondered if he was flirting earlier.

Jonathan was an intimidating figure, famous in the business world for being cold-hearted and ruthless. He was distant, lonely, and unapproachable. However, he had such a gentle, playful, childish side,

The aloof image of Jonathan, as perceived by others, was changing slowly.

After five minutes, Jonathan turned off his laptop and asked. "What do you want for lunch?"

Cynthia replied, "Just eat the food sent by the cafeteria. I'm too lazy to go out."

The lunch that Jonathan ate every day was prepared just for him by BJ Cafeteria. The executives would bring the lunch box. there every day.

Cynthia had eaten it several times, and the taste was very good-no worse than a three-star Michelin restaurant.

Jonathan looked at Cynthia and cocked an eyebrow. "Okay. If we go out, there will be no time for a nap.

Looking at Jonathan's expression, Cynthia knew what was on his mind. They were stuck together almost every night. Cynthia felt a little overwhelmed. Chapter 71

She didn't want to waste her strength in broad daylight, so she sl, "You are very busy. It's better not to obsess with beauty excessively."

Jonathan had already approached and carried Cynthia. "It's okay I'm still young and healthy

Cynthia laughed. "Are you serious? Put me down. I have something to tell you"

Upon looking at Cynthia's serious expression, Jonathan put her down and asked, "What is it?"

Cynthia said, "Come with me to the Yates residence tonight."

Upon hearing that, Jonathan no longer looked relaxed. "Why are we going there?"

Cynthia told Jonathan everything that had happened that morning

Cynthia said. "Filip and I have broken up, but Henry, Pamela, and Matthew treat me as their own. They want to thank you for giving the Yates family's Paradise Resort this opportunity, and of course, they also want to meet you." Jonathan nodded seriously. "I have to prepare for the meeting with elders.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the CEO's office. Jonathan said, "Come in."

Claude came in with an exquisite lunch box. He put the lunch neatly on the table. When he turned and proceeded to leave, he suddenly said, "Mr. Bennett, there is one thing I think I should report to you."

Jonathan asked calmly, "What is it?"

Claude replied, I've already fired Shirley, but she has been causing trouble outside all morning and said that she must see

you

Cynthia frowned slightly. It turned out that the noise she had heard when she just came in was from Shirley.

When Jonathan heard Shirley's name, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. "Ask the security guards to kick her out." Cynthia suddenly said, "Wait a minute." When Jonathan looked at her, she told him to let Shirley in. Then, she looked at hir and said, "There is one thing you have to do for me." After five minutes, the door of the office was opened. Shirley barged in with anger.

Of course, Cynthia had temporarily retreated to the office lounge. There were only Shirley and Jonathan outside.

Shirley wanted to put on a good show. Initially, she had given up, but she didn't expect Jonathan to meet her. She felt happy but she still pretended to be angry.

Looking righteous, she strode toward Jonathan and said, "It's true that I framed Cynthia yesterday. She took everything that belonged to me in my place since she was a child. I don't like her, but I take responsibility for what I do."

She continued, "My friends were indignant, so they helped me. If you have a problem, take it out on me. Why did you mak things difficult for them?"

That morning. Shirley had received several phone calls. They were the friends she usually went shopping and dined with Some of them were small-time actors and actresses, while others were daughters from less prominent families. Anyway, they always flattered her.

Then, Shirley found out that they were in trouble. Some were being chased by gangsters for gambling debts, while the others' plastic surgery photos were posted online, and some with messy private lives were exposed.

It was fine if one person got into trouble, but it happened to all of them. They happened to be the same people who

Chapter 71

supported the claim that Gynthia had pushed someone yesterday

Shirley knew it had something to do with Cynthia without thinking about it. However, Shirley knew that Cynthia wasn't that capable. Jonathan must be behind that.

Initially, Shirley didn't want to get involved in the matter at all. After all, she had never regarded them as her friends.

However, one of the friends found it unacceptable that Jonathan was being ruthless to them. After all, they were just following Shirley's order to help her, yet she was the only one who wasn't affected.

That inspired Shirley. Although she was the mastermind, she couldn't replace any dirt online. She knew that Justin had spent a lot of money on bribing the reporters who were there last night

However, if Jonathan took action, there was nothing that Justin could do at all.

Jonathan only took out his anger on those who helped Shirley, but he didn't get back at her. He also didn't let everyone know what had happened last night. Perhaps he did it for the sake of the Jones family or she was different to him.
