“It seems Ms. Luna is an elite, as Mr. Lynch insists on bringing you along wherever he goes.“
The conversation suddenly turned toward her, Luna coughed slightly, “Mr. Lynch wanted to give me
some exposure.“
“She’s a designer.“
Joshua said while he ate elegantly, “In terms of jewelry design, she is indeed an elite.“
Hailey lifted her lips in a smile. “It’s easy to grow fond of the capable ones.“
With that, she studied Luna from head to toe. “If there’s a chance, I would like to introduce our designer
to Ms. Luna, so they can discuss and exchange their opinions.“
Luna frowned and was about to say something when she noticed the hatred in Hailey’s eyes.
The glint of enmity in her eyes made Luna shudder.
If her memory served her right, this was her first time meeting Hailey as Luna.
Why did she hold such a big sense of hostility toward her?
It was even much stronger than the sense of hostility she displayed when she caused havoc at her and
Joshua’s wedding all those years ago.
Soon, the meal was over.
After lunch, Luna and Joshua did not stay in the Walter family mansion. Joshua used business as an
excuse and left.
Once they entered the car, Joshua lay on the backseat and closed his eyes, saying indifferently, “Drive
her to the mall, and me back to the hotel.“
Luna paused.
“Why am I going to the mall?“
He did not even bother opening his eyes, “Do you think your current ensemble is suitable to attend a
banquet?“
Instinctively, Luna glanced down at her white suit trousers and white shirt.
Not… really.
“Buy an appropriate gown, tidy yourself up.“
Ten minutes later, Luna was dumped at the entrance of a mall.
Joshua threw her a black card. “There’s no limit on this card, remember to return it to me.“
Then, the man shut the car door, and the black Maserati drove off into the distance.
Standing in her spot, Luna looked in the direction in which he drove off, and rolled her eyes silently.
A moment later, she walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi and headed to the mall.
At 4pm in the afternoon, the welcoming banquet the Walter family organized for Joshua was held in the
biggest five-star hotel in Sea City.
Joshua attended the banquet with Luna on his arm.
The moment he entered the banquet hall, Joshua was led away by the old yet enthusiastic Mr. Walter to
meet with their group of business partners.
Bored, Luna strode aimlessly around the banquet hall alone.
A few steps in, she spotted Alice.
At this moment, Alice was wearing a light purple gown, standing in the middle of the banquet hall, talking
to Hailey.
From the way they conversed with each other, they seemed to be close.
Instinctively, Luna frowned.
Alice and Hailey knew each other?
One of them was a local of Banyan City who had just returned from a long stay overseas.
And the other was a woman from Sea City who was obsessed with plastic-surgery and rarely appeared
in public.
The two of them were in contact?
Just when Luna looked in their direction and was secretly shocked, Alice suddenly raised her head and
looked toward her too.
Their eyes met.
Luna was flustered and tried to avert her eyes.
But Alice smiled coldly in her direction. “Luna?! “
Immediately, a woman’s unfamiliar voice rang in her ears.
Luna frowned and instinctively glanced in the direction of the voice.
Standing before her was a woman dressed in a red ball gown, her high-school desk-mate, Gwen Larson.
Luna was slightly dazed.
Even though they were close in high school, but now her name and looks were completely different, how
did she know it was her?
Right when Luna was hesitating whether to admit she knew her, Gwen raised her hand
Slap——!
With a resounding ring, Gwen’s palm landed on Luna’s cheek in a tight slap.
