“Mr. Lynch’s taste is becoming more and more questionable. What did he see in her? She looks very
mild-mannered and gentle, but that’s all. No matter if it’s looks, talent, personality, or responsibility, she
doesn’t hold a candle to you at all! “ Shannon grumbled in indignation. “What is President Lynch even
thinking?“
Luna shrugged and peeled her eyes away from Joshua and Fiona, then strode in the direction of the
elevator. “Don’t compare me to Fiona. She doesn’t match up to me at all.“
Maybe it was her who did not match up to Fiona. Or at least, this seemed to be the case to Joshua.
Shannon bit down on her lip and turned around to glance at the two people somewhat disgruntledly
before running to catch up with Luna. “Director Luna, are you going to give up just like this?“
Luna pressed the up button and stared at the indicator above the elevator door. “Give up on what?“
“Give up on pursuing Mr. Lynch, of course! “
Just as Shannon said this, the elevator doors opened. Luna took a step back to let the people inside the
elevator come out, then strode in gracefully. “I ‘ve never even planned on getting together with Joshua.“
She curled her lips into a smirk, glanced at Shannon, and gave her a gentle yet broad smile. “He doesn’t
match up to me.“
Shannon was so stunned by her answer that she did not know what to reply. She had envisioned Luna’s
answer to this question countless times before, but never did she once imagine that… Luna would say
Joshua was not a good match for her.
After a long while, Shannon finally came to and replied, “Yes, you’re right! “
“You’re absolutely right! Mr. Lynch only has eyes for commoners and pretty faces. He doesn’t deserve to
be with someone as outstanding as you! “
Just as she finished her sentence, an arm slipped through the crack in the elevator doors and forced
them to slide open again.
A displeased Joshua stood outside with one arm between the elevator doors and the other holding onto
Fiona.
However, Shannon did not notice them there and instead continued to compliment Luna. “Director Luna,
you’re the most outstanding, independent, and beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. President Lynch must be
blind…“
“Ahem.“ Before she could finish, however, Luna shot her a meaningful look, signaling her to shut up.
The atmosphere inside the elevator grew a little eerie. Shannon seemed to notice this and suddenly felt
a little suffocated. She bit down on her lip and turned around tentatively—
Only to come face to face with the two people
standing behind her. Judging from the dark expression on Joshua’s face, he had overheard what she
said about him.
The color immediately drained from Shannon’s face. She extended her arm out stiffly to greet Joshua.
“Hi
Nice to see you here, President Lynch…“
Joshua ignored her and entered the elevator, pulling Fiona along with him. “I’m blind, so I can’t see you,
Ms. McCartney.“
His pointed reply rendered Shannon utterly speechless.
What were the two of them doing here? They were out in the hospital lobby just now, immersed in their
public displays of affection, so what were they doing in here?
Shannon felt ashamed. She had been caught talking bad about Joshua by Joshua himself… Did that
mean she was going to get fired?
As soon as she thought of this, Shannon bit down on her lip and tried to salvage the situation. “That’s not
what I meant… President Lynch, I…“
“I think Shannon is right.“ Fiona leaned her head on Joshua’s shoulder and said in a soft voice. She was
still holding onto Joshua’s hand, and there was a gentle smile on her face. “Ms. Luna is indeed an
independent, unique, and beautiful woman.“
Then, she lifted her head to shoot Joshua an affectionate glance. “Joshua, if it weren’t for the fact that
we’re together now, I would’ve thought you and Ms. Luna are a great match.“
