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
Luna squinted slightly as she looked at Fiona, who was sitting on the sofa in the distance with a rosy complexion.The day before, Joshua brought Fiona to the hospital. He said that Arianna burned Fiona, so they had to check up on her.What was it this time? Fiona was the one who deliberately put powdered vitamins in her cup just hours ago to cause a misunderstanding intentionally.Moreover, even if everyone mistook Fiona, no one took action on her. No one even touched her.Joshua was still taking her to the hospital, just because of that? How precious was Fiona to him? Just because she was agitated and was so-called misunderstood by others, she had to go to the hospital? At that thought, the wound on Luna’s arm, previously cut open by the painting equipment, started to hurt inexplicably.She seemed to have forgotten to dress her wound after getting hurt.Luna clutched the painful part of her arm and said nothing, but Joshua saw her every move.He narrowed his eyes, then h
Joshua, who was pouring the disinfectant, paused a little.After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Luna coldly. “You don’t have to put it so harshly. Fiona means a lot to me. It’s only normal that I value her.”Upon saying that, Joshua pointed to the seat next to him. “Come, sit here.”Luna bled so profusely that it must have hurt.This woman only wanted to bicker with him. Did she not care about her pain at all? Luna did not move.“Mr. Lynch, didn’t you say that you and I had nothing going on ever since six years ago? Since you and I are just normal superior and subordinate, which superior would help their subordinate dress wounds?”Luna shot Joshua a fierce stare.“Mr. Lynch, you got me to come over. I don’t think it’s just to help me dress my wounds, right? Just say what you want to say—don’t beat around the bush. I’m pretty busy, too.”Luna’s aloof and distant attitude made Joshua somewhat uncomfortable.He furrowed his brows and coldly looked at her face. “Do
Joshua’s answer only made Luna’s blood boil.She clenched her fists tight and gritted her teeth hard. She even had murderous intentions against Joshua.How could someone be so heartless, despicable, and shameless to this extent? Did he have to use such a detached way, talking so cruelly about his own child? Why in the world did she fall for this man in the beginning?Regardless, Luna understood all too well that she could not afford to offend Joshua.She clenched her fist by her sides, then she let go. She clenched them and relaxed them once again.Finally, she raised her head.“I understand, Mr. Lynch.”For her children, she could only continue to bear it.Luna forced a smile with difficulty. In the end, she smiled and looked at Joshua. “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll head back to work.”She did not even spare Joshua a chance to speak as she immediately turned and left.Luna did not dare to continue staying there in front of him. She was afraid that she could not
Christian Moore wanted to please Joshua. Naturally, he would also try to please Fiona.With Christian accompanying Fiona, Joshua did not worry about Fiona.Joshua let out a long breath and exhaustedly sat back on his chair.“Send men to protect Fiona secretly.”…When Luna returned to the office, there was a small bottle of iodine on her desk. It was the same bottle as the one in Joshua’s office previously.Did Joshua arrange for someone to send it over? How pretentious.Luna narrowed her eyes. She picked up the bottle of iodine and was about to throw it into the bin.Right at this moment, Shannon entered. Looking at Luna’s actions, Shannon’s eyes widened and came over to stop Luna.“Director Luna, what are you doing? Aren’t you injured? Zayne brought the iodine over to dress your wounds. It’s just a small gesture. You…”Luna’s hand, which was holding onto the bottle of iodine, stiffened a little.She retracted her hands and placed the bottle of iodine back on her desk.
Coming out of Lynch Group Tower, Luna immediately hailed a taxi to the hospital.Upon hearing that she had an emergency, the driver drove faster, reaching the hospital in less than 20 minutes.Leaving the car, Luna went straight into the hospital. With a queue waiting for the elevator, Luna gave up taking the elevator and chose the stairs instead.Soon, she reached the 13th floor.This was the floor where the donor was signing the agreement, according to what Anne told her on the phone.Panting heavily, Luna lowered her eyes and looked at the time.Thank goodness, she was still on time! The donor definitely had not left yet! “My, my, isn’t this Ms. Luna? Why are you so tired?” a woman’s ridicule-laced words rang in her ears.Luna furrowed her brows and subconsciously lifted her head.In front of her, Fiona had her arms crossed at her chest as she looked at Luna coldly.“Why are you here?” She knew Fiona was at the hospital, but should she not be in the department where she w
