Luna did not invite Fiona, and she definitely did not invite Joshua to come along with them.She pursed her lips and was about to open her mouth in retort when Joshua placed a document in front of her.“Take a look.” Luna lowered her head, her attention was immediately attracted by the title of the document. “International Jewelry Design Competition?”“Yes.” Joshua leaned backward, looking at her with calm, indifferent eyes as he said, “This year’s competition will be held in Banyan City, right at our doorstep, I hope you will participate.” Luna pursed her lips, lowering her head, frowning as she flipped through the document. “I’m not very interested.” Her past self, Moon, was already a world-renowned jewelry designer. She did not have to prove herself through competitions like these. Her skills and talent were world-class. “I know.” Joshua crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes were cold and impassive. “But you’re not Moon anymore, you’re Luna. I hope you can represent
He lifted his thick, well-defined hand and rubbed between his eyebrows. “The design department is the only department in the entire group that organized an event to celebrate my son’s recovery. Is there a problem with me attending their gathering?” Lucas was silent for a few moments. “No problem at all.”Then, he lowered his head and focused on organizing the documents, continuing his work reports to Joshua. Half an hour later, after finishing the arrangements and reports about work, Lucas sighed before leaving the office. In the end, he could not help himself and said, “Actually, I think…both you and Ms. Blake should not be attending the gathering tonight…”Luna’s dinner party was a happy occasion. If Joshua and Fiona attended, the staff members would not be able to relax and have fun, but most importantly, Luna would feel uncomfortable. Besides, if Fiona and Luna got drunk and got into a fight… The repercussions would be disastrous. Joshua squinted at his assistant’s words.
The air in the room turned into ice at Joshua’s words. Luna frowned at the cold surrounding air, and finally pulled her mind back from the conversation with Bonnie.The moment she raised her eyes, she saw Joshua and Fiona standing together in the doorway. They had their arms hooked through each other’s arms, dressed in the same moon-white color, from afar, they looked like the perfect couple.At that moment, Joshua was glaring icily at Shannon and the few female employees beside her, his fury apparent in his eyes. Under his gaze, Shannon turned pale as a ghost, the few people around her all lowered their heads instinctively and did not dare to raise their heads at all.Luna did not know what happened. But tonight’s gathering was organized by her, she was the one who invited all of them. She had to step forward to smooth things out when the atmosphere turned tense. She sucked in a deep breath and stood up. “Since Mr. Lynch and Ms. Blake are here, why don’t the both of you come in
“But Fiona works for the design department, if she wants to come, I must accompany her. But I never expected to hear her colleagues bad-mouthing her the moment we arrived.”Luna’s hand that was pouring the wine for them paused slightly. A moment later, she smiled, she was not interested in pursuing this topic of conversation. “Mr. Lynch and Ms. Blake are so deeply in love…”“We are.” Joshua’s eyes were calm and indifferent. “But precisely because we are deeply in love, I won’t just let Shannon and the others go just like this.” The moment he said this, Shannon and the other female employees around them felt as if their hearts had been strung high in their chests. Luna stiffened too. She curled her lips in a smile. “Then how do you propose we resolve this matter?” “Easy,” Joshua chuckled softly, “I saw the list of teams that you gave me this afternoon to participate in the International Jewelry Design Competition on behalf of the Jewelry Design Department of the Lynch Group."
The moment the words left her mouth, the air in the room froze. Everyone held their breaths and carefully studied both Luna and Joshua.Even though Joshua’s insistence on placing Fiona in the team was unacceptable. But… Saying things like these in front of Joshua and Fiona, was Luna not afraid of angering him? Shannon bit her lip and instinctively tugged at Luna’s sleeve, signaling her to stop talking. However, Luna shrugged her hand off, as if she did not understand her hidden message. She raised her eyes and looked at Joshua with cold, emotionless eyes, spitting the words out word by word. “You weren't like this before. When will you stop?" In the past, whether it was Aura Gibson or Alice Gibson, no matter how much he loved and spoiled them, he would never joke around when it involved business and the company. He could only grow the Lynch Group to its current size and scale because he always drew a clear line between work and pleasure, and was fair and impartial in everything
“If he’s hospitalized…”“If he’s hospitalized, then you should go take care of him, Ms. Blake.” Luna smiled coldly, her indifferent eyes sweeping smoothly across the other woman’s face. “Last time Joshua was hospitalized, you said you fell sick and refused to even leave your room. So as his girlfriend, all you did was visit him once, then for the rest of the time, I, his ex-wife, was the one who was caring for him. But the man who I poured my time and effort into taking care of drove straight to the Orchard Manor the moment he woke up, without even a word of thanks, just to carry you in his arms to the hospital for your operation. Now that your operation has been done, you wouldn’t fall so sick again that you can’t even leave your room right…”She shifted her cold eyes onto Joshua and looked into his eyes. “It’s time you return everything that you owed me, am I right?” Joshua could not help but smile bitterly to himself. Luna said he should return everything that he owed her. She
At Luna’s question, Fiona sniffed and could not help but say pitifully, “I stayed here because Joshua wanted me to stay here on his behalf.” She lifted her eyes that were red from her crying and looked at Luna. “Charmain and Arianna were beside me just now, they must have heard. Joshua said that hospitals are unlucky places, he asked me not to go…”She wiped at her tears as she spoke. “It looks like Ms. Luna doesn’t welcome me at all. If that’s the case, then I might as well go to the hospital with Joshua…”At the woman’s words, Charmaine who was sitting beside her could not take it anymore and stood up. “Fiona is right, just now Mr. Lynch did indeed ask Fiona to stay, he said he would be fine!” As she spoke, she pulled at Arianna and asked, “You heard him too, right? You’re one of Luna’s cronies, she’ll definitely believe you!”Charmaine’s actions when she yanked at Arianna were extremely rough, as a result, Arianna let out a small cry in pain. Samson stood up hurriedly and wr
Luna was right. Besides Christian and Joshua, she did not have any other friends in Banyan City. It was already so late, Christian was not in Banyan City and Joshua was still in the hospital, his situation remained unknown…She did not dare to ride a taxi by herself either. It was so late now, she was a beautiful girl, what if something happened? Even though she was reluctant to do so, but asking Luna to send her home was her only choice now. The engine revved into motion. Fiona crossed her arms over her chest as she sat in the backseat of the car, sweeping her cold gaze over at Luna. “Don’t think I will be grateful to you because you sent me home.”Luna curled her lips, switched into a comfortable position, and leaned back on her seat. “I don’t expect you to be grateful to me, just don’t do things that’ll upset me."Fiona rolled her eyes at her and said nothing. “I'm actually quite curious.” Luna closed her eyes and yawned. “Does Joshua owe you a debt that cannot be repai
