“She can’t afford to suffer another injury anymore,“ the doctor warned Joshua after he finished suturing
Luna’s wound again. He then added, “I heard that Ms. Luna is a jewelry designer. She had burst her
stitches twice in a day… If she gets hurt one more time…she might not be able to hold a pencil ever
again.“
Joshua sighed and glanced at Luna, who had passed out from the excruciating pain. The color had
drained from her face, and her right shoulder was once more wrapped in a thick layer of bandages.
Joshua sighed and left the ward.
“Lucas, send out a job recruitment notice tonight. I want to hire some jewelry design assistants who
have stable foundations, or even artists.“
Lucas paused. “Didn’t Luna already hire her boyfriend, Theo, as her assistant? Why do you want
Before he could finish his sentence, however, Joshua shot him a glare, and Lucas immediately
clamped his mouth shut.
When Luna finally woke up, it was already the next morning. The first thing she saw when she opened
her eyes was Joshua.
He sat on a chair next to her bed, dressed in all black with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He
appeared to be fast asleep.
Luna frowned and stared at him for a few moments. His eyes were shut, and he looked calm and
tranquil.
Luna recalled how Joshua had carried her into his car and sped toward the hospital last night. He
apologized profusely to her throughout the journey, saying that he did not mean to do that on purpose.
He was just too worried that she would jump off the bridge.
Luna did not know whether to believe him or not, but she could not help but feel touched by his words.
She wanted to believe that everything he said was true.
Alas, as she regained her rationality, Luna knew they were all lies.
This man was selfish and despicable. How could he possibly feel sorry and genuinely apologize to her?
All of a sudden, as if he could feel her staring at him, Joshua furrowed his brows and opened his eyes.
”Are you awake now?” He glanced at her. ”The doctor said that you can’ t afford to suffer another injury
anymore. Lucas had spent the entire night helping you recruit more than ten assistants. When you get
back to the office later, you can have a look a t them and decide which of them you want to keep. ”
With that, Joshua glanced at Luna’s right shoulder and added, ”You should let your assistant do all the
sketching for the time being.”
Luna shot him a cold glance and sneered, ”Why should I? Theo is the perfect candidate. If it weren’ t
for you, Mr. Lynch, he and I would’ve established a great rapport and already started working together
yesterday.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, after a moment, he lif ted his head to stare at Luna coldly. ”
Well, you were there last night. You saw that Theo’s family owns a business supplying precious ores to
companies. Although his father and I are just partners, if Theo comes to work for Lynch Group and
learns everything about how a jewelry design company operates, then ends up marrying you…
”Can you guess what’ll happen next?”
Luna chuckled. ”Is this the reason you refused to let me hire Theo as my assistant? You were afraid
that he’d learn trade secrets and start his own company to compete with Lynch Group?”
Joshua squinted slightly. ”You can say that.”
”That’s a pretty good excuse, Mr. Lynch. What about humiliating me right in front of Theo’s parents last
night, then? Was it because you didn’t want him to marry me and gain an advantage over your Lynch
Group?”
Joshua shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair. ”Of course.”
Luna chuckled, then fixated her steely gaze on Joshua. ”Why are you so afraid of him, Mr. Lynch? He’s
just the son of one of our ore suppliers. How did Lynch Group get to where it is now if you’re so
constantly threatened by other people? I don’t believe you at all.”
Joshua raised his eyebrows at her. ”Well, if you don’t believe me, then what do you think is my reason
for doing all this?”
