“This will be my office now.“
Luna froze. After a long while, she widened her eyes in delight. “Are you here to work?“
Alice shot her an irritated glare. “Of course!“
Alice did not know why Joshua had suddenly insisted on sending her to work in Luna’s department,
and as her assistant, no less! She slept so soundly that morning when, all of a sudden, Joshua woke
her and demanded she go to work. Of course, she was frustrated by that, but she did not dare protest.
What ruffled Alice’s feathers the most was Joshua’s instructions. He had informed her beforehand that
no matter what, she would have to obey Luna’s orders.
The worst part was that Joshua did not allow her to take credit for Luna’s work after the project was
completed.
Alice could not understand any of this. She was the CEO’s wife, for God’s sake! How could she work
as a lowly assistant, and for Luna, no less?
Although her official job title was as an assistant, Alice knew that her responsibilities were to take care
of everything Luna did not want to or did not have the time to. She could not even be late or leave work
early. No matter how late it was, as long as Luna was still in the office, Alice also had to be there.
Alice grew more and more frustrated when she thought of it. She angrily hurled the rest of the items
on Luna’s desk onto the floor. ”Get rid of all these useless things ! I don’t want to see them anywhere
near me! ”
Luna felt her mood lift when she registered how infuriated Alice was. She smiled, kneeled onto the
ground, and picked up the documents Alice had strewn all over the floor. ”What position did Mr. Lynch
assign you to do?”
Alice rolled her eyes in indignation. ”Your assistant.” Assistant?
Shannon, who had hovered outside the door all this while, could not take it anymore. She walked in
and helped Luna pick up her things, saying pointedly, ” From the way you’re acting, I would’ve thought
you were here to take over as project director. Instead, it turns out you’re nothing but a lowly assistant.”
Luna lowered her gaze and continued to pick up the rest of her stuff. ”Be careful what you say.”
Luna was secretly overjoyed that Alice would be working with her. Luna thought that it was better for
Alice to be spending most of her time at the company instead of at home with the kids so she could
keep an eye on her.
”Director Luna, you’ re too kind. ” Shannon tidied up the documents and could not help but added, ”This
is the first time I’ve ever come across such a bad- tempered assistant. I can’t believe an assistant
would dare to throw the director’s documents all over the floor.”
Alice immediately scowled, ”What did you just say?” She stood up and strode over to them in her high
heels. “Don’t forget I’m the CEO’s wife! The Lynch Group belongs to my husband and me. I could get
you fired as easy as that! “
Shannon instinctively frowned when she heard Alice’s arrogant tone. Although she was angry, she kept
her mouth shut and did not say anything else. She finished picking up the documents from the floor and
quickly left the room.
Luna stacked the documents back into a neat pile and smiled at Alice. “Do you want this office? If you
do, you can have it. I’ll sit outside instead.“
Alice rolled her eyes and got up from her chair. “It’s not like I want this stupid office anyway.“
When she stood up, Alice caught sight of a framed photo on Luna’s desk. It was a picture of her and
Neil, but he looked paler and sicklier in the photo than in real life.
Alice narrowed her eyes and picked up the photo. “ Neil looks good in this.“
As soon as Luna caught sight of what she was holding, her eyes widened. “Put down that photo.“
“Why should I?“ Alice sneered, then forcefully smashed the photo down onto the ground. A split second
later, she stepped on the photograph, her pointy heels puncturing right into the smiling faces.
She clamped a hand onto her mouth, feigning surprise. “Oh, no! I accidentally dropped your photo
frame, and now it’s broken! “
