After the incident with Irene, Luna had no longer seen Joshua.As the project was coming to an end, she got busier. Luna no longer had the time to think of him.Finally, the project was completed on time.Luna’s designs were sold out once they went on the market.“As expected from Moon the great designer, you’re better than the rest!”Sitting on the sofa, Anne was eating fruits while listening to the news. She turned to look at Luna who was packing up.“How many days of leave did Joshua give you?”Luna continued packing. “This morning, Lucas sent me a message. Half a month.”Anne furrowed her brows. “You still haven’t seen Joshua?”Upon mentioning that, Luna could not help but furrow her brows and sigh, “Yes.”After Irene’s press conference, Joshua had been deliberately avoiding her.No matter whether Luna went to his office or in a meeting, she would not see him anywhere.She has tried to wait for him in his office or downstairs but to no avail.At that thought, a deep se
Looking at Theo from a distance, he looked like a teenager in love.Across the road, once Luna got down from the taxi, she immediately saw Theo hugging the bouquet of roses and smiling from ear to ear.The vein on Luna’s forehead popped.The reason she asked Theo out that night was to end things properly. In her pocket, there was a pair of rings that she made herself to wish Theo and his future partner all the happiness.However, at that moment, looking at the bouquet of roses in Theo’s arms, she had mixed feelings.“Watch out!”Just when Luna was looking at Theo, wondering how to continue the date that night, a male’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her.Luna furrowed her brows and instinctively turned back to look.In front of her eyes was a silvery flash of the blade of a knife. Just when the knife was less than 10 centimeters away from her head, Luna’s heart instinctively beat aggressively. She subconsciously took a step back.Thud! The man who was waving the knife a
Joshua raised his eyebrows and flatly swept a glance across Luna’s face.He has not seen her for a long time.Ever since he knew the meaning of her design, he has been trying to avoid her at all costs.Since she said that he was evil and aloof, a person that should have long died, why should he appear in front of her and make each other unhappy? Only that, Joshua did not expect that Luna would openly block his path in the streets.Joshua lit a cigarette. He stood there elegantly mixed with a hint of thuggishness.“I’m avoiding you?”“Are you not?”Luna raised her head and met his gaze fearlessly. “I have been trying to look for you all this while but fail every single time. If I attend a company meeting, you will refuse to join in. If you’re not avoiding me, then what are you doing?”Joshua inhaled a huge puff of the cigarette and turned to look opposite the road.Outside Bamboo Palace, Theo, in white, was still hugging a bouquet of roses. He lowered his head and looked at h
All this while, Luna had been busy working and trying to find a chance to meet Joshua. She has not contacted Gwen for a very long time.“She’s not too well.” Luke shrugged. “She’s pregnant.”Luna suddenly looked up. “Pregnant?”“Yes.”Luke furrowed her brows and fished out another cigarette from his pocket in annoyance.“Actually, this time I came to Banyan City to look for you. I want you to persuade her.”Luke lit the cigarette and took a deep puff.“She had the child for a few months already. According to the time, the child should belong to the monsters that raped her back then.”Luna’s blood froze instantly upon Luke’s words.How could this have happened?Luna’s voice was hoarse. “Did she… not take any medication after the incident?”Luke laughed, “Do you think she would have gotten pregnant if she had taken the medication?”Luna was rendered speechless.Luke lowered his head. He sounded a little depressed. “She was heavily injured back then, her situation was complic
Theo furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. “Who is he?”Luna helplessly took Luke’s arm off her shoulders. “A friend.”“How do you have friends like that?” Theo swept Luke a cold glance. Then, he stuffed the huge bouquet of roses in Luna’s arms. “Let’s go. I have been waiting for you for a long time.”There were people walking in the streets. Luke was still next to her, Luna felt embarrassed to put the bouquet of roses down, so she could only carry it. She turned to look at Luke.“Remember to contact me tomorrow.”Then, Luna turned around and left together with Theo.Once they crossed the road, Theo subconsciously turned around to look.Luke, across the road, was still standing by the bin smoking. He seemed to be troubled by something.Theo did not like men like Luke, who constantly had a cigarette with them and looked like a thug. “How come I never knew that you had friends like that?”Luna turned and swept a glance in Luke’s direction. “What about it?”She knew that Theo h
Luna took a deep breath. She downed the tea on the table in one go.“You’re a gentle and kind-hearted man. You deserve a much better woman and deserve to find better happiness. Not with a woman who had just climbed out from the depths of hell.”Then, she placed the empty teacup on the table and looked at Theo meaningfully. “The reason why I asked you out tonight…“Is to thank you for helping me. Now that the storm has passed, no one is caring about your private life anymore. No one cares about me anymore either. We… it’s time to announce to the public about our breakup.”The light in Theo’s eyes dimmed a little. He looked at Luna and opened his mouth. His face was a little ashen. “I thought…”Theo lowered his head. “I thought that you asked me out…”He did not finish his sentence.“But, I can understand.” Theo took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Luna. “You have been hurt so badly. It’s normal that you won’t accept another man. Don’t worry, I will stay by your side
The driver started the car and drove.Luke sat in the passenger seat in front. He furrowed his brows and looked at his phone. Luna did not know what he was looking at.After a long while, he kept his phone and glanced at Luna in the rearview mirror, looking at her dark circles under her eyes. “If you’re sleepy, sleep for a while. Gwen heard from the doctors that you’re going to visit her today, she’s stable for the time being.”Then, Luke laughed self-deprecatingly, “Women sure are weird. No matter how my men and I tried to persuade her, she would not listen at all. Once she heard that you’re going to visit her, she immediately obeyed.”Luna smiled. “Because none of you are women, you won’t understand how a woman feels.”Luke shrugged. “That’s true. After all, both of you have been best friends for more than ten years.”“More than ten years?”Upon Luke’s words, Joshua, who was in the back seat, furrowed his brows and opened his eyes.The car was in silence at that instance.Lu
However, who would have expected that a man like Joshua had also played such a game before too? At that thought, Luna smiled. She raised her hand and yawned. “Luke, how long till we reach Sea City?”Luke looked at the time. “About four hours.”Then, he swept Luna a concerned glance. “If you’re really tired, sleep for a while. We’ll reach by noon.”Luna nodded. She turned and looked at Joshua rather apologetically. “If you have played Lost before, perhaps we might have even known each other online many years before. Let’s catch up once I wake up.”Then, Luna yawned and directly leaned back on the leather seat. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.Actually, Luna could not even fall asleep.She squinted her eyes and looked at Joshua through the crack of her eyes.Joshua looked at her with a darkened gaze.His eyes had so many emotions that she did not understand.Luna did not dare to react in case Joshua saw through her. She remained that way peeping at him until the car
