Luna and Mr. Hanson's contract signing was a successful one.
In order to showcase Luna's efficiency, Charlotte had even employed some reporters from a few major news outlets to help photograph the entire ceremony.
This was Luna's first time attending something like this, and even though she did not look scared, she was secretly very nervous.
When standing next to Mr. Hanson, smiling for the cameras, she had even inched a little further away from him.
She could not forget what had happened last night at all.
However, to Luna's surprise, Mr. Hanson snorted in laughter when he saw this. "I should be the one trying t o get away from you. After all, you're clearly the more heartless, more deceitful one of us two.
"What are you trying to do, moving away from me like this? Are you trying to get the reporters to write up an article about this, so people will think I'm a pervert?"
Mr. Hanson lowered his voice and said in a voice so soft it was only audible to the two of them, "Still, I still you're too impatient. Do you think it's worth it, using those videos to threaten me into doing business with you when the consequences are not being invited to
any parties and gatherings anymore in the future?"
Luna was puzzled to hear this. She furrowed her brows and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
Mr. Hanson let out another snort when he saw her confused look. "What a great actress."
This woman had sent her an edited video of him at the dinner party and even threatened to show it to her wife, but at this moment, she was playing innocent and even had the audacity to ask him what he meant.
Was he not allowed to complain a little, even after being forced to give up working with Joshua Lynch, the most powerful businessman in Merchant City, and instead work with her?
As soon as he thought of this, Mr. Hanson, too, shifted away from Luna, so much so that the distance between them could accommodate two more people.
Soon, the long and boring ceremony had ended.
Luna let out a sigh of relief and returned backstage, where she slumped on her chair in exhaustion, letting Roanne take off her makeup for her.
"Where's Charlotte?" she asked when she could not see Charlotte even after glancing around the room.
