The Powells really thought too highly of themselves.
Nelly understood Yvonne's implication, and her face went pale with rage.
Before Nelly could explode, Cynthia stepped in. "Yvonne, I'll see you out."
Yvonne nodded and left the room with Cynthia.
Since they were on different floors, Cynthia, ever polite, walked Yvonne all the way to the elevator.
Yvonne pressed the button, but the elevators were on other floors, so she had to wait.
While they waited, Yvonne looked at Cynthia. "Ms. Scott, I didn't expect you to get involved in the Powells' affairs."
Cynthia smiled and answered honestly, "I have no connection to the Powells, but Mr. Morris is an old friend. When he asked for my help, I had to oblige. Marshall is actually a good man, just stubborn. No one can change his mind. For men, a first love can be devastatingly powerful."
Yvonne raised an eyebrow. She felt there was a hidden meaning in Cynthia's words.
Just then, the elevator arrived, and the doors opened. Yvonne said nothing more and stepped inside.
As the elevator ascended, Yvonne watched the numbers change on the display screen. Suddenly, the phone in her jacket pocket started ringing.
She took out her phone and saw it was Bennett calling.
"Wrapped up for the day?"
"Yeah," Yvonne replied. "Are you back at the base? Are you busy?"
"It's been fine lately. No urgent missions, just routine training," Bennett replied.
"Oh," Yvonne answered distractedly. The elevator doors opened, and she stepped out, heading for her room.
"What's wrong? You sound a little down," Bennett suddenly asked.
"That a first love can be devastatingly powerful for a man," Yvonne repeated.
Bennett chuckled softly. "Well, she's not wrong."
Yvonne was the first love that never faded from Bennett's heart. He could only truly live when her light shone on him. Otherwise, he was just a walking corpse.
"But Cynthia is Noah's first love. By telling me that, was she hinting that she still has feelings for him?"
"Yeah. It's possible," Bennett replied matter-of-factly.
"But Noah is married with a child. If Cynthia decides to go after him, what do you think her chances of winning are?" Yvonne asked.
"One hundred percent, I'd say," Bennett said after a moment of thought.
"Huh?" Yvonne was surprised by his answer.
