Luna immediately lunged forward and shoved Alice aside.
The glass frame was smashed into smithereens, and there was a gaping hole in Luna’s face in the photo
where Alice had stepped on with her high heel.
Thankfully, Nigel’s half of the picture was still intact.
This was the last photo Luna had taken with Nigel before she came back to Banyan City. Every time she
felt tired and burnt out, she would look at the photo, and it would magically give her the motivation to
persevere.
However…
Luna frowned and picked up the remaining shreds of the photo. The broken shards of glass cut into her
finger, but she did not seem to feel any pain. She wiped the blood off and gingerly put the photo into her
pocket.
“Director Luna…“ The rest of the employees were gathered around her door with worried faces and
contemplated whether to help her or not.
Alice automatically sneered when she saw how devastated Luna was. “It’s just a photo of you and Neil.
Why are you so upset about it, Luna? It’s not like you can’t take another one with him. Neil is at Blue Bay
Villa right now! If you want, I’ll let him take plenty more pictures with you. Stop acting so pitifully! “
Luna lifted her head and glowered at Alice, her eyes seething with rage. “Get out! “
Alice scowled, “How dare you talk to me like that? Let me tell you this. Even though I’m just an assistant,
I’m still Joshua’s wife, after all. I— “
“Even though you’re Joshua’s wife, you’re still an assistant! “ roared Luna. “Get out! “
Alice had crossed a line.
Luna allowed Alice to throw her things around the room and let her claim her office as her own because
she could not care less about them; it was just an office and a few documents. Luna was willing to
endure all these as long as Alice would come to work, instead of staying at home and bullying Neil and
Nellie, but then…
“Luna, you’re going to regret this! How dare you talk to me like that?“ Alice glared at her and continued,
“Do you know what I ‘m going to do as soon as I go home? I’ll— “
“What are you going to do?“ a steely voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
Alice was momentarily flustered, but after a moment, she turned around and leaped into Joshua’s arms,
tears welling up in her eyes. “Joshua… Luna bullied me! She asked me to get out!
“You sent me here to work, and I arrived early in the morning. I didn’t know what to do, so I came into
Luna’s office to wait for her, but I accidentally dropped her picture frame on the ground, and now she
wants me to get out…“ Alice wiped her tears daintily. “It’s just a photo of her and Neil. I can’t believe
she…“
Joshua furrowed his brows and removed himself from Alice’s embrace. “I heard everything.”
Alice’s entire body stiffened. “Joshua…”
Joshua shot her a cold glance. “You broke Luna’s stuff on purpose and used your title as Mrs. Lynch to
threaten her… You promised me this morning when we left home that you’d work hard. Was this what
you meant by that?”
The color drained from Alice’s face. “Joshua, I…”
Lucas, who had been standing by the door, sighed and said, “Ma’am, if only you’d keep your mouth
shut… Sir came down specially to check on you. He said that this was the first time you showed
willingness to help out the company, but as soon as we arrived, we saw you stirring up trouble in Luna’s
office…”
Alice bit down on her bottom lip hard. Had Joshua been there for that long already?
“Luna.”
