Luna pursed her lips upon hearing Charmaine’s question but did not know what to say in response. She could not tell them that Joshua gave her the hickey, yet at the same time, she could not think of any other excuse.Luna was afraid that if she told everyone that it was Joshua, Fiona would fake her illness and pretend to faint.If that happened and Joshua rushed over, Luna was worried that Joshua would deny everything, causing her to become the offender once more.However, if she did not come clean with the truth… How else could she explain the hickey? She could not say that she did it herself, could she?“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?” Charmaine could tell Luna was hesitant to tell the truth because of Fiona and felt even more confident in her guesses. “Didn’t you go to the hospital? Did the doctor give you a kiss for your boo-boo?”Luna narrowed her eyes and swept her cold glance across Charmaine’s face. “Why do you care so much about something on my neck?”“That’s right

“Is that so?” Fiona blinked innocently at Charmaine. “When have I ever asked you to make Ms. Luna’s life difficult? Why would I even do that? Ms. Luna is Joshua’s favorite employee. She’s brought in significant revenue for Lynch Group, and she’s the star member of our team for the upcoming jewelry design contest.”Charmaine clenched her teeth. “That’s because you’re jealous of her! You’re afraid that she might steal Joshua from you!”“What are you talking about? Do you think Joshua would fall for anyone just like that?” Fiona scoffed, then turned to smile at Luna. “Don’t you agree, Ms. Luna?”Luna, who watched all this unfold with a hint of amusement, did not plan on getting involved in this drama between Fiona and Charmaine. Fiona had singled her out, however, and she knew Fiona was trying to get under her skin, so she curled her lips into a smirk and replied, “Of course. Ms. Blake is such a beautiful woman, and you and Mr. Lynch are such a sweet couple. Don’t you think you’re perf

Christian was so stunned by Luna’s reply that he did not know how to answer.“Either way, thank you for your help, but if something like this happens again in the future, you don’t have to help me anymore. I don’t like being kissed in front of so many people,” said Luna coldly. Then, she strode into her office, slamming the door behind her. Christian froze for a moment, then let out a sigh of exasperation. He had to admit he acted too rashly. He could not seem to put his finger on it, but somehow, when he saw how hard Luna struggled to suppress her emotions, he could not help feeling sorry for her. That was why he had rushed forward and tried to kiss her in front of everyone, without any regard for the consequences his actions might have brought. As he had regained his composure, he suddenly realized just how inappropriate his actions were. He contemplated for a moment, then pushed Luna’s door open. “I want to apologize to you.”Luna, who was busy drawing a sketch, did not

Luna furrowed her brows. As she glanced at the cup of coffee Fiona was holding, she chuckled. “Keep your coffee to yourself, Ms. Blake. After all, I wouldn’t know what kind of vitamin powder you added in there this time, would I?”Luna was being sarcastic when she said this. She was referring to what happened before when Fiona poured some vitamin powder into her glass and deliberately caused a misunderstanding. As soon as she heard this, Fiona’s expression darkened. However, she did not say anything and instead bit down on her lip and proffered Luna the coffee with a slightly upset expression. “This is pure coffee—there’s nothing added to it. I know you hate me, Ms. Luna, but since I made you this coffee out of kindness… Why don’t you give it a taste?”As she said this, Fiona kept inching closer to Luna. Luna frowned and extended her hands out, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. “I don’t want to—”“Ah—!” Before she could even finish, however, Fiona’s shrill screams pierced through th

When Joshua finally arrived at the hospital, the doctor was in the middle of cleaning and bandaging Fiona’s wound. He could not stop himself from complaining to his assistant, who was watching from the side, “Why didn’t you tell me to come earlier, knowing how serious her wound was? You’re useless!”The assistant bit down on her lip and answered in a slightly sheepish tone, “She looked perfectly fine, and she even said she was fine. She was just scalded by a cup of coffee, so I didn’t take much notice of her. I didn’t know that…”She did not know how serious this patient’s burn was!At this moment, Joshua strode into the room.The first thing he saw when he entered was the string of blisters on Fiona’s abdomen, as tightly strung as a chain of pearls. As soon as he saw this, Joshua furrowed his brows. “What happened?”Fiona bit down on her lip and answered in a low voice, “Nothing. It was my fault. I accidentally spilled coffee on myself.”“What do you mean, it was an accident
