“The butler who messed up the guest list was already punished. The only reason I’m here is to give Ms.
Luna a proper welcome here at Sea City.“ Gavin’s expression made Luna feel uncomfortable.
There were two rows of seats inside the RV. Joshua and Alice were seated on one side, while Gavin
occupied the other row of seats. Luna contemplated for a moment before she finally sat in the same row
as Gavin.
Feeling uneasy, Luna deliberately chose the seat furthest from him, but Gavin was oblivious to this and
instead approached her. “Ms. Luna, I heard you’re one of the most gifted designers in the field of jewelry
design. Is that so?“
The scent wafting off of Gavin made Luna a little unsettled. She immediately shifted an inch over to get
away from him, but Gavin scooched over as well. Finally, Luna had no choice but to set down her
documents on the seat between them to act as a physical barrier.
Gavin frowned and tried to pick the documents up.
“Stop, “ warned Joshua just as Gavin was about to remove the documents from the seat. Joshua
glanced at him, then slowly closed his eyes. “You’re not allowed to touch any paperwork that belongs to
Lynch Group.“
Gavin’s hand hovered in midair for a moment. Then, he drew his hand back somewhat sheepishly and
said, ”I apologize for that, Mr. Lynch.”
Joshua shot him a glance and removed himself from Alice’s grasp. He stood up and slowly walked over
until he stood in front of Luna. ”Get up.”
Luna furrowed her brows. She did not understand what Joshua wanted to do, but she stood up anyway.
Joshua gracefully lowered himself into Luna’s seat and pointed at his original spot next to Alice. ”You sit
there.”
Luna suddenly realized that Joshua was trying to help her. Although she did not fancy the idea of sitting
next to Alice, it was still better than being next to that creep, so she let out an exhale, picked up the
documents, and plopped down next to Alice.
The entire car was silent.
Alice clenched her fists at the sudden change. She deliberately asked Gavin to tag along to make Luna
uncomfortable ! However, she did not expect that Joshua, who usually hated interacting with strangers,
would switch seats with Luna to help her! Throughout the journey, no one said a single word.
Joshua closed his eyes and pretended to be taking a nap, while Gavin was so scared that he did not
dare say a word.
Alice kept sneaking glances at Luna out of the corner of her eye. Luna was busy scribbling some notes
in the documents as if none of this had happened.
Around 10am, the RV arrived at one of the Walter Group’s factories. As soon as the car stopped, Gavin
leaped out of the vehicle and poised himself next to the door. He had one hand on the door handle while
the other extended toward Luna, intending to help her out of the car. “Ms. Luna, please.“
Luna frowned. She did not want to accept his offer, but out of nowhere, someone shoved her from
behind. Luna lost her balance, and her entire body was thrust in Gavin’s direction.
Gavin immediately grabbed her, and his hands wrapped around her waist. The scent of his body made
Luna nauseous, and she tried to get away from him, but his grip on her was too tight. She twisted herself
around and slapped him across his face. “Let go of me! “
Gavin immediately loosened his grip on her and backed away. He stared at Luna with a stunned
expression, clutching his face.
Luna turned away and hastily wiped herself off with a tissue.
“I’m so sorry, “ said Alice as she hopped off the RV with an apologetic look on her face. “I stumbled just
now and accidentally bumped into Ms. Luna. “ She glanced at Gavin. “What happened?“
Gavin, still clutching his face, scoffed. “Ms. Luna almost fell just now, and I grabbed her without even
thinking twice, but she must’ve thought I was being handsy, so she slapped me.“ Alice frowned and
glanced at Luna, who was still rubbing at her clothes with a tissue. “Ms. Luna, Gavin was just trying to do
you a favor… Aren’t you overreacting a little? Why don’t you apologize to him?“
