Luna and Joshua’s original schedule for the day was to visit several jewelry companies in Sea City to
conduct a survey.
The agreed time was 9am, but it was past loam and there were no signs of movement from Joshua.
As she sat in her room, Luna hesitated for a long while and wondered if she should approach him and
ask. If they were not going out, she would not have to keep waiting.
“Joshua, thank you for accompanying me today, but it doesn’t hurt so much anymore.“ Just as she
walked to their door and before she could knock, Alice’s soft whine drifted out from inside the room,
“Didn’t you come to Sea City for business? You should go.“
“No, I’ll cancel,“ the man’s deep voice sounded extremely gentle. “Where else does it hurt? I’ll massage it
for you.“
“Here, this spot still aches. It’s all your fault…“ “Okay, I’ll massage it for you.“
One sounded soft, gentle, and slightly whiny, like a call for attention. The other was deep and doting, with
love and affection filling his voice.
Luna’s hand that was about to knock on the door paused mid-air. A long while later, she scoffed and
turned to leave.
At the entrance to the elevators, she ran into Lucas who just stepped out of an elevator.
“Ms. Luna, “ Lucas stopped her. “Right. The director asked me to inform you that the survey is
rescheduled for tomorrow. A few of the factory owners aren’t ready to meet us. You don’t have to wait for
the director for work, so you can take a tour around the city.“
Luna laughed coldly. “Alright.“
Were the factory owners truly unprepared, or did Joshua want to stay in and accompany Alice?
Neither did she know, nor did she care to find out.
Luna walked out of the hotel and wandered the streets aimlessly.
She had lived in the city for more than ten years. Back then, she left this city without turning back once
because of Joshua.
She finally returned with him, but…he was holding another woman in his arms.
How ironic.
She walked around the city for a long, long time as she visited all the schools she studied in throughout
the day: elementary school, junior high, high school, and her favorite restaurant, the small corner in the
park.
She switched off her phone the entire time, and she only hailed a taxi and returned to the hotel after l0
p.m. at night.
After unlocking her room door with her key card, she unexpectedly discovered the lights in her room
were lit. She frowned, raised her head, and saw the man who sat on the sofa in her room, immersed in
his work.
“Mr. Lynch, don’t you have your own room?” She turned and opened the door. “It’s late. You should leave
to avoid any unnecessary rumors.”
At her words, the man who sat on the sofa smirked faintly.
He set down the documents in his hand with a cold smile and swept his eyes across at her. “I had
something to say to you, but you never returned.
Alice is asleep. I didn’t want to disrupt her sleep, so I came to your room to wait.”
Luna laughed coldly and continued to stand at the entrance. “The two of you are so close. Since Mrs.
Lynch is asleep, you should go to sleep, too. We can discuss work tomorrow morning after Mrs. Lynch is
awake.”
She seemed determined to chase him out of the room. Joshua frowned at the sight.
“Shut the door! “
