Luna’s outfit indeed looked like something a young design intern would wear.
Wesley froze at the sight. For a split second, he could not believe that this woman was the same one who had answered the door a few minutes ago.
"Today will be my first day of work, right?” Luna did not seem to notice his bewilderment. Instead, she walked down the steps and continued with an air of nonchalance, "Can you please explain the working hours to me? I might have to get off work early because I need to pick up my son from school."
Following behind her, Wesley was so shocked by her statement that he was tongue-tied. "You...have a son?” This woman did not look a day over 20. How could she have a son already?
"Of course." Luna chuckled. "My son is best friends with Mr. Lynch's daughter."
Wesley came to a sudden realization. No wonder this woman, who lived in such an ordinary residential area, seemed to be friends with Mr. Lynch. It was all because of her son.
The two left Luna’s building together and got into Wesley's car. Throughout the journey, Wesley tried to explain the company's policies to Luna.
Luna stared out the window and did not seem to be
paying much attention, much to Wesley’s displeasure. "Luna, why aren't you listening? Some of these policies are different from other companies. If you break the rules, your salary will be cut!”
Luna curled her lips into a smile. "I'm listening."
She still remembered all of the policies that Wesley went through. Many years ago, she had been the one t o draw up those guidelines with Joshua, including the benefits provided for female employees such as maternity leaves.
Once, she laid in Joshua's arms and looked up at him with a grin. "Don't tell anyone that all of this was my idea, so that everyone will think you’re a caring boss!"
At that time, Joshua had given her a small smile. "Of course I'll tell everyone, because my employees deserve to know that you’re the caring one."
Luna had believed him. She thought he would let everyone know that Joshua Lynch's wife was a kind, considerate lady.
