8:29 a.m. Luna stepped foot in the design department with a minute to spare.
As soon as she entered, Shannon winked at her. “ Someone’s waiting for you in your office. He’s been
waiting for a while now.“
Luna furrowed her brows in confusion and pushed the door open. Joshua’s lean and slender body
perched on her office chair, his gaze focused on the drafts and sketches strewn all over her desk.
When he heard her coming in, Joshua glanced at the time and snickered. “Came to the office with only
one minute to spare. How obsessed are you with that man?“
Luna paused before she offered a polite smile. She strode to Joshua’s side and snatched the draft he
was holding. “Firstly, I wasn’t late. Secondly, I didn’t break any company policies. Besides, who I
choose to befriend and have breakfast with is my personal business, right, Mr. Lynch?“
Joshua could not help but frown at Luna’s harsh attitude. “What did I tell you last night? I told you he
can’t be trusted, and you should stay away from him!“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoshua could not believe the audacity of this woman. He had given her a friendly warning just the night
before, yet she still hung out with Theo and even had plans to move in together!
“You met him just last night, right? Tsk. You’ve known him for less than 25 hours, yet you’ve already
gone on a breakfast date and even plan to move in with him. I never knew you were so desperate,
Luna.”
Luna burst out in laughter as she saw how flustered Joshua was. ”I ‘ve always been this way, Mr.
Lynch. How could you have never noticed?” As she said this, she started cleaning up her messy desk.
”Mr. Lynch, you’re the CEO of Lynch Group, so you probably know better than anyone that the office is
only meant for business. If you want to discuss personal issues, then I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to
leave, Mr. Lynch.”
Joshua squinted at her. ”No, I’m here to talk business.” He handed her a folder and said, ”There’s a
jewelry exhibition in Sea City next month. I want you to come up with a design draft before next week
and finalize it within another two weeks.”
Luna flipped through the folder and said incredulously, ”You want me to come up with sketches for an
entire series within a week?”
She let out an exasperated laugh. ”I’m not sure if you’ re aware, Joshua, but inspiration won’ t come
with a snap of the finger. I need time to come up with ideas. I can’t possibly create so many designs in
a week, much less exquisite ones. Are you insane?”
Joshua merely gazed at her impassively. ”Are you not capable of taking up this project?”
He tapped his slender fingers against the desk and remarked with an air of indignation, ”Well, I guess
you’ re not as good as they say you are. Perhaps you can’t do it because you’re too busy running
around with that artist?”
Luna knew Joshua was trying to get on her nerves. “ This is an impossible task! “
“I believe you can do it, “ said Joshua as he leaned against the chair and glanced at her. “I have a
suggestion. If you manage to finish this job within a week, I ’11 give you a day off, and you can take
Neil and Nellie out for a day trip. How does that sound?“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna’s face immediately lit up at his offer. All this while, Joshua had forbidden Neil and Nellie to contact
her, and he would not let her anywhere near Blue Bay Villa.
The two children had never been apart from their mother all these years, and as they had not seen
Luna in such a long time, they were definitely miserable. It would be wonderful if the three could spend
some time together again, even if just for a day.
Luna let out a sigh and snapped the folder shut. “ Alright, I’ll try my best.“
“Great. I look forward to hearing from you.“ Joshua smirked and left the office.
Just as the door swung shut behind him, however, he turned around to glance at Luna. She was sitting
at the desk, immersed in the folder’s contents and busy making notes in the margins. It was obvious
she was jumping at the chance to see Neil and Nellie.
Joshua sighed and left.
“Why do you think she’s so attached to Nellie and Neil? They’re not even her children.“
