Joshua gripped the phone tightly in his hand as he narrowed his eyes. "Who did she invite?"
Luke remained silent for a moment before finally asking, "Does this mean that...not only did Luna not tell you about the party, but she didn’t invite you either?"
Joshua's expression darkened as soon as he heard this. "I'm asking you who did she invite."
Luke could not stop himself from laughing out loud," Since you're not invited, I don’t think you have the right to know who’s on the invitation list."
A vein popped out on Joshua's forehead. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I guess you've gotten too used to being the big guy in Sea City, and you've forgotten whose territory Banyan City is."
Luke's smile froze on his face as soon as he heard Joshua's frosty tone. He let out a somewhat awkward cough and replied, "Well, from what I know as of now, there’s Anne, Bonnie, and the rest, and maybe some of the coworkers from your company.
"Oh, and also...your nephew Christian."
A cold look passed through Joshua’s eyes. "Alright." With that, he hung up the phone with a loud thud.
After putting his phone back on his desk, Joshua
lifted his hand to rub his eyebrows.
A split second later, he dialed an extension. "Please tell Shannon to come into my office."
Two minutes later, Shannon knocked on Joshua's office door somewhat timidly. "You asked for me, President Lynch?"
"Yes.” Joshua shot her an impassive glance and pointed at the sofa next to him. "Sit down."
Shannon could not help but feel startled by this. This man was usually cold and emotionless toward any woman apart from Luna, so why was he acting so courteous to her all of a sudden?
Shannon had been working in Lynch Group for a while now, but she had never seen President Lynch acting this way before.
She pursed her lips and sat down on the sofa nervously. "President Lynch, the reason you asked for me...is it because you have something to tell me?"
"Yes." Joshua leaned against the sofa gracefully and swept his impassive glance across Shannon’s nervous face. "I wanted to talk to you about some private matters."
Shannon could feel her heart leap into her throat." What...what kind of private matters?"
