Luna did not sleep well the entire night, so even though she had drunk soup before she went to bed, she still woke up the next morning with an ear-splitting headache.Despite this, she forced herself to crawl out of bed and glanced at her phone.There were two new messages from Joshua.[Fiona was fiddling with my phone just now, and she sent you a message by mistake.][Just pretend like you never saw it.]Luna felt like her headache grew even more severe. She felt as though someone continuously poked her scalp with a needle, and the pain was starting to irritate her.She tossed her phone aside and closed her eyes, recalling Joshua’s messages.Fiona had sent the message to her by mistake and wanted her to pretend like she never saw it. Joshua was a smart man, so Luna guessed that he probably knew what Fiona was actually trying to do: showcasing her authority. Despite that, he still tolerated her behavior, so what right did Luna have to object to this?Luna lied in bed for a
The person who took the glass away was Zayne.He glanced at the glass of water in his hand, which was still clear and uncloudy, and smirked. “What would happen if someone drank this, Ms. Blake?”An expression of panic clouded Fiona’s face. She bit down on her lip, her eyes turning red-rimmed. “Give that glass back to me.”Shannon scoffed. “Give it back to you so you can destroy the evidence?”With that, she picked up the phone and dialed the extension for Joshua’s secretary. “Courtney, ask President Lynch to come to the design department right now. His girlfriend Fiona got herself in trouble again!”Yesterday, Fiona had deliberately poured coffee all over Arianna and claimed that Luna’s assistants were trying to get rid of her. Today, she was caught red-handed trying to poison Luna. How was she planning to explain this? Was she going to claim that Luna’s assistants were trying to frame her again?“Shannon…” Seeing that Shannon had called Joshua’s office, tears welled up in Fiona’
The paint on the easel spilled all over Luna. The metal tools next to it had cut through her arm.A thin, long gash appeared, and blood seeped through.Shannon’s eyes widened. She subconsciously opened her mouth and said, “Director Luna, you…”“I’m fine.”Luna lifted her hand and picked up a piece of tissue paper to wipe the blood stains off of her arm. She raised her eyes and looked at Joshua, who carried Fiona while glaring at her.Luna smiled.Whether Fiona was hurt or whether Luna’s people did anything to her, Luna did not know.Joshua did knock against her, though, and she got hurt.Alas, Joshua did not notice it. He only had Fiona in his eyes.Luna smiled and lifted her eyes. She looked at Joshua with eyes filled with mockery.“Mr. Lynch, what do you think my staff and I could possibly do to Ms. Blake?”Joshua could not help but furrow his brows fiercely at Luna’s ridicule. He lowered his head and looked at Fiona in his arms, his voice gentle as he asked, “What happene
How would they know that Fiona would intrude Luna’s office early in the morning because she wanted to put vitamins into Luna’s cup of water? “I-It’s… It’s because yesterday was the first day of work, and I already had such an unhappy incident with Ms. Luna.”At that moment, Fiona—who was so aggrieved a moment ago she could barely speak—finally said something.Her voice still sounded so feeble, and it sounded shaky as well as she added, “I’d wake up with headaches if I don’t drink anything to sober myself up after having alcohol. I thought that since we’re all ladies, Ms. Luna should be the same, too.“Last night, after some alcohol, Joshua boiled some soup to sober me up, but perhaps no one will care for Ms. Luna the same way.”Fiona bit her lips, and her voice was so tender that it might crack at any moment. “That’s when I thought of secretly doing something for Ms. Luna, to give her some vitamins so that she won’t be too disgruntled…”Luna could not help but squinted her eyes
Luna raised her eyebrows and smiled mockingly. “Apologize?”She crossed her arms at her chest and looked at Joshua flatly. “I’d like to ask you something, Mr. Lynch: What are the rules of Lynch Group?”She then turned around and sat on the chair, her arms still hugging her chest as she eyed Joshua’s face coldly.“I’m the design department’s director. Ms. Blake, who’s in your arms, only reported to work yesterday and is the lowest intern in the design department. What right does she have to enter my office?”Luna’s words hushed everyone in the office.Every country or place has its rules, and that went for Lynch Group as well. That went especially for the design department, a department where there would be classified information. Some rules could not be broken easily.As a lowly intern, Fiona intruded right into Luna’s office, who was their design director. This was enough reason to be fired.The only thing different was that Fiona was the president’s girlfriend.The entire com
Looking at how Fiona aggrievedly compromised, many staff instantly felt compassion for her.“Director Luna is too unreasonable and unforgiving. Ms. Blake only came in yesterday, and she might genuinely be unfamiliar with things.”“Yes. Getting the president’s girlfriend to apologize to her... She’s only a designer. How arrogant.”“What do you know? This is because the president was targeting her three assistants yesterday, so she’s taking it out on Ms. Blake now.”“I feel for Ms. Blake. She’s the president’s girlfriend. She had already tried to please Luna in such a lowly manner, yet…”“You’ll only get bullied if you’re too kind…”…Luna heard every word, even though they spoke hushedly.Naturally, Fiona had heard them, too. She had an inconspicuous hint of smugness in her eyes.“Don’t worry, Ms. Luna. I’ll resort to being a timid little dog and try not to make you angry.”The moment Fiona said that, an explosive fit of rage erupted in Luna’s heart.Shannon and Zayne looked
“Fiona did that on purpose, I swear!”After Joshua left with Fiona in his arms, Shannon was so furious that she threw everything Fiona touched on the table into the bin.“She entered Director Luna’s office and deliberately put some white powder into her water to let us catch her!”Shannon merely grew angrier the more she talked.“She did all that on purpose! When we entered, she was still muttering to herself how ‘no one will find out’! Who in the right mind would know that she put vitamins in the water when she said such things?”Zayne also nodded. “Also, the vitamins that Fiona put in Director Luna’s cup were pounded into powder. The vitamins that you can find on the market are all in tablet form. She is trying to cause misunderstandings, deliberately taking her time spent in turning the tablets into powder. How…thoughtful of her.”The two of them were in a heated discussion. Luna, by the side, was sitting on her chair on her phone.Shannon furrowed her brows and looked at her
“Your body is the most important thing right now. Don’t affect your mood because of irrelevant people that’ll affect your own body indirectly.”Upon Joshua’s words, Fiona bit her lip and meekly responded, “But…Ms. Luna isn’t an irrelevant person. You and her…”“I’ve had no whatsoever relationship with her since six years back. If it weren’t because we still have children together, she and I would no longer be in touch anymore.”Joshua looked at Fiona and said tenderly, “So, don’t bring up things that shouldn’t be mentioned.”Luna, still standing outside the door the whole while, was disheartened. Those were all Joshua’s sincere words, were they not? This came from his heart.Jude only came up with the man who was deeply in love. Only Luna was foolish enough to believe him.“Luna?”Lucas came out of the elevator with some documents at hand while she still stood outside the office in a daze. His brows furrowed immediately at the sight of her. “You… Oh, right. Mr. Lynch got you t
