At this thought, the man raised his head and looked at Luna coldly. “I’m asking you a question. Were your assistants discussing how to chase Fiona away? Were they targeting her on purpose, scaring her on purpose?” Luna laughed coldly. Fiona kept deliberately showing the weakest side of herself, taking all the blame for something that was not her fault. Her aim was to make the surrounding crowd feel bad for her and stand up for her. Now, even though Fiona had not said a single bad thing about Samson, Zayne or Arianna and yet she had successfully told Joshua of their ‘evil doings’. Not only that, she even built a gentle, kind, and virtuous image for herself. Killing two birds with one stone. “Tell me!” Seeing Luna glaring at Fiona coldly without speaking, Joshua frowned. He was worried Luna would misunderstand Fiona, so he hurriedly turned his body to the side and stood between the two women. “How do you plan to deal with your three assistants?” Luna raised her eyes and looked past
Joshua’s voice was cold and low, every word ringing out loudly across the office. Instantly, the entire office turned deadly quiet. Everyone stared at Joshua in shock. Actually, everyone knew the three of them were considered Luna’s confidants in the company. And they all knew of the awkward, sometimes there, sometimes non-existent relationship between their director and their president. But now that he had his new love, Fiona, he was so cruel to his old love, Luna? Fiona’s words just now were enough to give both Joshua and Luna space to step backward and let the incident pass just like that. And yet Joshua took the initiative and suggested firing the three of them? “Joshua…”Fiona looked at Joshua, her eyes bright with how touched she was. “I’m fine, the three of them are Ms. Luna’s right-hand men, she wouldn’t want to see them fired. Don’t spoil the harmonious relationship between the two of you for me.”With Joshua’s support, even though her tone remained soft and gentle, th
Luna sighed, then straightened up and gave a stretch. “Since they don’t know each other and today is their first time meeting, how did Arianna even know that Ms. Blake was easily scared? How did she know what kind of noise to make so as to frighten Ms. Blake and that she would accidentally spill the coffee?”Then, she glanced at the woman who had stood up for Fiona just now. “If someone made a loud noise while you were walking past, would you lose your balance and spill your entire cup of coffee?”The woman opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.The entire office grew silent.The silence that fell over the office made Luna’s impassive voice sound exceptionally loud. “Or maybe we can take a look at the security footage to see if Arianna really did pay attention to everything Ms. Blake was doing in order to scare her. If she didn’t, then how could she possibly have known that Ms. Blake would be frightened?”Luna turned around to gaze at Joshua. “M
“Yes, Ms. Luna.” Shannon turned around and walked away when she heard Luna’s orders.Fiona, who was standing next to Joshua, scrunched up her nose in resignation and pouted. Tears were welling up in her eyes as she said, “Ms. Luna…what are you trying to say? Do you think I’m wrongfully accusing Arianna and trying to frame her?”Fiona’s voice was starting to shake. “Okay, if that’s what you want to think, then go ahead! Everything is my fault!” She sniffed and wiped her tears away. “It’s all my fault. It’s only my first day of work, and I’ve already caused so much trouble that you have to check the security cameras in front of everyone…”“I shouldn’t have insisted on coming to work at Lynch Group because I was bored, and I shouldn’t have come to the design department and caused you all this trouble. I’m sorry that I made you upset. I shouldn’t have gotten scared and spilled the coffee all over Arianna…”Tears rolled down Fiona’s face like strings of pearls as she continued, “It’s al
Then, he turned around and glanced at Luna coldly. “I won’t fire your assistants, but please keep an eye on them in the future! If I discover them deliberately making Fiona’s life difficult or saying things like wanting to get rid of her…I won’t let this slide so easily!”“I…” Luna was just about to say something in reply, but before she could finish her sentence, Joshua had already strode away, carrying Fiona in his arms.He did not even want to hear if she had anything to say.He cared so much about Fiona that he was willing to take her to the hospital immediately, as soon as he realized she was upset. However, he never paid any notice to Luna at all. She had lost two children just recently and had to work hard in order to pay her remaining two children’s medical bills. He did not even care how she was feeling after having been treated like this.Luna watched him leave and could not help feeling like an idiot. How could she have believed Jude and thought Joshua had fallen in lo
Luna snickered when she heard this.She shifted into a more comfortable position in her chair and gazed at Shannon impassively. “So what if he sees this?” She stared at Shannon with a self-deprecating expression and sneered. “Even if he finds out what kind of person his precious Ms. Blake is, do you think he’ll punish her? Or will he simply admit his mistake of wanting to fire Arianna?”Shannon froze upon hearing this. She was perfectly clear that… none of the scenarios that Luna mentioned would happen. Joshua would never punish Fiona, nor would he admit he was wrong.However, Shannon was still feeling disgruntled about this. “Does this mean we should just let this matter slide? Arianna was so badly scalded…”Luna rubbed her brows in frustration and recalled the pained look on Arianna’s face. She let out a sigh and said, “I’ll let Mr. Lynch pay for Arianna’s medical expenses.”When Joshua refused to pay Nigel and Nellie’s medical bills, Luna did not object or argue with him
“Mr. Lynch’s taste is becoming more and more questionable. What did he see in her? She looks very mild-mannered and gentle, but that’s all. No matter if it’s looks, talent, personality, or responsibility, she doesn’t hold a candle to you at all!” Shannon grumbled in indignation. “What is President Lynch even thinking?”Luna shrugged and peeled her eyes away from Joshua and Fiona, then strode in the direction of the elevator. “Don’t compare me to Fiona. She doesn’t match up to me at all.”Maybe it was her who did not match up to Fiona.Or at least, this seemed to be the case to Joshua. Shannon bit down on her lip and turned around to glance at the two people somewhat disgruntledly before running to catch up with Luna. “Director Luna, are you going to give up just like this?”Luna pressed the up button and stared at the indicator above the elevator door. “Give up on what?”“Give up on pursuing Mr. Lynch, of course!”Just as Shannon said this, the elevator doors opened. Luna took
Luna narrowed her eyes when she heard what Fiona had said. It was easy to think Fiona was saying this on purpose.Shannon turned to Luna and surreptitiously mimed vomiting. Initially, she had thought Fiona was an innocent woman. However, Shannon guessed that she must have overheard the rest of the employees gossiping about Joshua and Luna, which explained her current behavior.Shannon knew the reason Fiona said what she had said was because she wanted to get on Luna’s nerves. Seeing that Joshua did not answer, a glimmer of malice flashed through Fiona’s eyes. She let out a sigh and said wistfully, “Actually, Joshua, I don’t think I’m a good enough match for you… You deserve to be with someone like Ms. Luna. I can’t compete with her at all..”Joshua could hear Fiona’s voice waver and immediately furrowed his brows. The doctor had told him that Fiona had been triggered, so she had to keep her emotions under control for the time being. Otherwise, she would collapse and have to be
