When Luna returned to the booth, Arianna and another of Luna’s male assistants, Zayne Campbell, were
staring at their phones somewhat excitedly.
As soon as he saw Luna entering, Zayne immediately tucked his phone away and regained his
composure. Meanwhile, Arianna stared at Luna as if she wanted t o say something but ultimately
decided against it.
Luna was still thinking about what had happened with Celeste moments ago, so she did not notice her
assistants’ strange behavior. She entered the booth and sat down in her seat.
All of a sudden, she received a text message from Shannon.
(One of the three assistants you hired today has been spreading rumors about you.]
Luna frowned at the text, but just as she was about to ask Shannon more, she received another
message from her. It was a forwarded conversation from a different group chat.
Luna gripped her phone tightly and read all of the messages. It made her so exasperated that she
suddenly felt like laughing.
Luna raised her head to look at the four people before her. They were engaged in a conversation
about their previous work and education experiences.
Luna let out an exhale and tried to suppress her emotions. Then, she proceeded to join in their
conversation as if nothing was wrong.
Suddenly, Irene mentioned that she wanted to grow closer to the rest of the employees at Lynch Group
and suggested the rest join the company’s group chat. When Luna heard this, she smirked and turned
around to glance at Samson. “Do you agree with her?“
Samson felt a little puzzled as to why Luna asked him that, though he nonetheless replied with a frown,
“Yes, and no. I’m an introvert, so I don’t really enjoy socializing with people. No matter where I go, I never
join any company group chats.“
Luna curled her lips into a smirk and glanced at Arianna and Zayne. “What about you two?“
Arianna realized what Luna was getting at, so she stammered, “I… I only join group chats like this if
someone invites me.“
Zayne furrowed his brows and answered impassively, “I like to join, but I don’t talk much.
I’m mostly just there to get to know the employees.“
“It looks like the three of you are entirely different from Irene. “ Luna crossed her arms in front of her
chest and tossed her phone onto the table. “Irene, please hand out all of the recordings and photos you
have.“
The entire room fell silent.
Zayne’s expression darkened, and he glanced at Irene but dared not speak.
Meanwhile, Arianna poured Luna a glass of water and set it down in front of her.
Samson frowned, picked up the phone Luna had tossed onto the table, and looked through its contents.
The color drained from Irene’s face. She tried to pretend as if she did not understand what happened.
“Director Luna, what are you talking about? I don’t understand— “
“Director Luna found out about everything! Stop pretending! “ Samson put down the phone and glared at
Irene. “Didn’t I tell you not to leak anything out to the public? Why didn’t you listen?
Don’t you remember what Director Luna said to that crazy hag? She’s going to sue her for defamation!
“Do you somehow think you’re more important than Director Luna’s boyfriend’s mother? She’s
refraining from suing her out of respect! What makes you think she won’t sue you?“
Irene’s face was as pale as marble. She immediately kneeled on the floor with a thud and started
pleading, “Director Luna, I… I was just trying to get closer to the rest of the employees… They were
gossiping about you in the group chat, so I wanted to.
She crawled over to Luna and grabbed hold of one of her pant legs. “I didn’t mean to…“
Luna frowned and flung her hand away coldly. She curled her lips into a sneer and was about to say
something when her phone rang. Samson glanced at the screen and immediately handed her phone
over. “It’s President Lynch.“ Luna could feel a headache starting to form.
