When Luna knocked on the door and entered with hot tea, Joshua was sitting and talking on the phone.
Seeing her entering, Joshua swept a cold glance at her and continued reprimanding his staff, “How
many years have you been on this job? Do I still need to teach you basic respect for your superiors?
So what if you’re in a bad mood? Do I, as a boss, need to care for your emotions? If there’s a next
time, you can prepare to resign! “
Luna smiled faintly as she heard his words. Joshua might seem like he was reprimanding his staff, but
he was indirectly telling them to Luna.
This was the third time he asked her to send something up for him to drink. From coffee to tea, Luna
knew he did not need to drink so much while working that night. The only possible reason was that she
got under his skin as she ignored him and treated him indifferently.
Joshua had always been high and mighty. He was a man that everyone respected and looked up to.
He must have felt terrible when she suddenly ignored his presence, then. This was not because he
cared about Luna; it was his ego reacting.
Luna put the cup of tea down, turned, and left.
“Stop, “ Joshua haughtily called from behind just as Luna’s hand was on the doorknob.
Luna hesitated for a while and stopped in her tracks.
“I’m tired.“ Joshua leaned back on his chair. “Give me a massage.“
Luna did not turn around. “Mr. Lynch, I’m Ms. Nellie’s servant, not yours. When we signed the contract,
you explicitly told me that I only had to listen to Ms. Nellie and take good care of her. Making coffee and
tea for you tonight was done free of charge. I don’t think you should take advantage of this.“
Joshua was so furious he was rendered speechless.
Back then when they signed the contract, he did indeed stress this clause as he felt that Luna was
scheming against him at that time. This clause was just to remind her of her place.
He did not expect that she would bring this clause up when he asked her to do things for him! Him,
taking advantage? “Good night.“ Luna did not wait for Joshua to react a s she immediately opened the
door and left. The door of the study was shut. Joshua looked at Luna leaving and the door closing. He
was even more annoyed.
He forced himself to continue working, but Luna’s words of him taking advantage kept ringing in his
ears.
It was bitter and unbearable.
When Joshua lost all mood to even read his emails, he decided to take a stroll in the backyard.
Blue Bay Villa’s backyard was huge. There was a man- made lake, artificial hills, and a cobblestone
path. There were assorted pavilions and greenery as well.
Back when Luna Gibson was still around, she planted many beautiful plants in the backyard.
Six years had passed, and her plants were long gone, too.
Walking on the cobblestone path with the night breeze gently blowing by, Joshua finally felt better.
The moon shone brightly.
Walking under the moonlight, his surroundings were so quiet it was like he was in a painting.
“When I ‘m not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself. Don’t be too naughty. Do you hear
me? Of course, I’ll be worried and sad, so you have to be good for me. Okay?“
Joshua heard a soft woman’s voice that came from a distance. He furrowed his brows and followed the
sound.
It was Luna.
At that moment, she was on top of an artificial hill as she talked on the phone.
Although he was far away from her, her affectionate appearance still made Joshua’s heart beat
violently.
Perhaps it was quiet at night, but he heard every word she said even though her voice was rather
meek.
