Luna merely passed her and continued to walk toward the bus stop. "We have nothing to talk about."
"Is there nothing to talk about, or are you just afraid to talk?" Aura opened the door and got out of the car, grabbing Luna's wrist. "Don't think I don't know what's on your mind!
"You should be younger than me. Let alone having a baby, you’re still a child yourself, right? A woman who has never given birth to a child, yet you're desperate enough to slave away under a six-year-old girl just for a salary of a few thousand dollars a month?"
Luna shook her hand away. "Then you tell me: what a m I doing this for?"
Aura narrowed her eyes.
The situation was chaotic yesterday so she paid no attention to the woman's appearance. As she was up close to her at this moment, however, she found her face to be flawless as if it was carved by an artist.
"You're pretty, but you should also know that Joshua i s my fiance. I advise you not to set your sights on him so shamelessly!"
Luna smiled.
Did she consider the fact that Joshua was her husband when she hooked up with him?
With their roles switched, she had the guts to warn her not to be shameless?
If this was being shameless, then Aura's honor and pride were long gone!
At that thought, she bore into Aura's eyes coldly." Then, what if I insist? What can you do to me?"
She raised her eyes and glanced at the blazing sun in the sky. "Can you kill me right now, in broad daylight?"
"That's impossible," sneered Aura as she revealed a voice recorder from her pocket. "You're not the only one who can record things"
Luna’s gaze narrowed. What a fast learner.
"I'm going to play this recording for Joshua now. You just wait to be fired!"
With that, she returned to her car with a smug expression on her face, started the engine, and drove away, leaving Luna standing with a frown.
She did not expect Aura would come up with such a trick and go to Joshua with the recording.
Still, it did not matter. Everything had just begun, and Joshua did not trust her much, anyway.
Aura took the recorder and went to Joshua's office in a frantic manner.
In the office, a man was holding a transnational international conference facing the computer.
"Joshua!"
No matter how Lucas tried to stop her, Aura still managed to barge in.
She rushed in regardless. "I knew there was something wrong with the maid the moment I saw her in your house yesterday! I got the evidence after all!"
The man scrunched his eyebrows, his voice as cold as his eyes, making it difficult for everyone in the room t o breathe. "Get out."
"Joshua, I..." She wanted to continue, but the voices of the executives in the company blared from the computer, "Mr. Lynch, if it's inconvenient for you now, we can discuss it next time."
Aura realized. Had she...interrupted Joshua's work?
"We'll discuss it next time." The man turned off the computer with a cold expression on his face and looked up at Aura's pale face. "Talk."
Aura pursed her lips and pressed the play button on the recorder hesitantly.
"I advise you not to set your sights on Joshua shamelessly!"
