Just as Aura's hand closed around the door handle, Joshua furrowed his brows and said impassively, "It’s alright, Aura."
He took off his jacket gracefully.
Even though his black shirt was stained with coffee, it was not noticeable unless one took a close look.
He shot Aura a vacant glance and said, "Go to the mall with me to buy another one."
With that, he gave Aura a once-over and added, "I'll buy you two outfits, too."
This delighted Aura. She immediately released the door handle, strode over to Joshua, and said with a coy smile, "Which mall are we going to?"
Joshua turned to glance in the direction of the bathroom, then smiled back at Aura. "Let’s go to your favorite one."
"Alright!" Aura followed behind Joshua, feeling overjoyed at this sudden turn of events. "I've already left Banyan City for a few months now, and I've really missed going to the malls with you..."
Joshua and Aura's voices grew further and further away.
Luna waited until there was no sound coming from the other side of the door, then let out a sigh of relief
and walked out of the bathroom.
There was a bag of food that Aura had packed for Joshua as breakfast, as well as Joshua's coffee-soaked jacket on the desk.
Luna carefully placed the jacket inside a plastic bag and deftly cleaned Joshua's office up.
In the middle of her cleaning, she suddenly noticed a photo of her and Joshua in his desk drawer.
In the photo, she still had not gone through plastic surgery yet. Her face looked youthful and slightly childish but still gentle and beautiful.
Luna curled her lips into a small smile.
A surge of warmth spread through her heart.
Luna carefully tucked the photo away and continued cleaning the rest of the room.
