What was she up to last night?
Luna bit down on her lip and cast Joshua a displeased look. “What else do you think I was up to last
night, Mr. Lynch?“
Although he was drunk last night, he still managed to text her and invited her over, so why did he play
dumb?
Joshua shot her a cold glance and replied curtly, “ How would I know?“
Last night after dinner, he reminded Luna to sleep early and rest since they had a long day ahead the
following day. They had a meeting scheduled to discuss the information collected over the business trip
and finalize some plans.
Why did she ignore his reminders?
Besides, Luna had slept in the children’s room last night with the kids. Naturally, the kids would have
gone to bed early, and there was no place for her to work, so she could not have been up all night
working.
Joshua could not understand why she did not get much sleep last night. Was she up all night talking to
Theo? Joshua’s expression darkened as he pondered that possibility.
Last night, he had overheard Neil and Luna’s conversation after dinner. Neil had been asking her about
Theo. At that time, Luna had gently ruffled Neil’s hair and told him, ”Why don’t you ask him yourself?
We’ll call him later as soon as we go back to your room.”
Did she spend the whole night talking to Theo?
Joshua sneered, ”I always thought Ms. Luna is an efficient and professional worker. You knew very well
that we have a very important meeting scheduled today, but you still stayed up all night, and now you’re
exhausted.” His dark eyes swept across Luna’s face with an air of contempt. ”I guess I was wrong about
you.”
Luna rubbed her brows in exasperation. Her head throbbed, and she started to feel a little
uncomfortable. Even a single look at the platters of food before her made her want to retch.
Luna heaved a deep sigh and put down her cutlery. ” Don’t worry. I won’t take any leave of absence
today. I know what I’m supposed to do, and it wasn’t entirely my fault that I didn’t manage to get any
sleep last night.” She glared at Joshua and
continued, ”There’s just one thing I want to say. Mr. Lynch: you have no right to reprimand me for not
getting any rest.”
Then, Luna stood up and said, ”Thank you, Mrs. Lynch, for preparing such a hearty breakfast.
Unfortunately, I don’t have much of an appetite
now, so I won’t be eating. I ‘in going to work now.”
With that, she turned around and disappeared up the stairs. A few moments later, she reappeared again
with the stack of documents she had brought to Sea City in her arms and breezed out the door without
looking back.
Just as she stepped out of the door, Luna caught a glimpse of Joshua putting some food onto Alice’s
plate in an intimate manner. The sight made Luna feel as though someone had struck her heart with a
hammer.
“Luna, don’t you want to get some food?“ Lucas could tell she was unwell, so he insisted on driving her
to work. “You don’t look too well. Are you sure you want to head straight to work?“
Luna leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. “
Yes, I’m sure.“
Suddenly, her phone chimed with a message. It was a long text from Neil, first criticizing Joshua for his
attitude, then reminding her to get some food as soon as she arrived at Lynch Group Tower. Neil did not
want her to pass out due to hunger.
Luna stared at Neil’s text message for a long time. She could feel her heart beat in her chest.
The only people who cared about her were her three kids. As for Joshua…
Luna convinced herself that what happened last night was just a price she had to pay in order to cure
Nigel.
The car soon arrived at Lynch Group Tower. Luna let out a sigh, got out of the car, and quickly made her
way upstairs.
Lucas watched her leave and immediately took out his phone to call Joshua. “Sir, Luna doesn’t look too
well. You—“
“I know, “ Joshua cut him off before he could finish.
Then, he hung up the phone without saying another word.
