A moment later, Joshua let Luna go with a darkened expression.
He said that he owed her only because he was angry a t her previously for attending Mr. Hanson's banquet o n her own, then came up with the excuse that she has had sex to make a deal with him.
He kept mentioning it because he wanted to remind her to not use her body as a bargaining chip.
He never expected that Luna would use this to provoke him, right when he hugged her, when he could not hold back his feelings for her.
Joshua looked at Luna's face and smiled coldly. "So, you're admitting that you're using your body as a transaction?"
Then, he sneered. "Since it's a transaction, I'll decide the time and place."
Joshua closed in on Luna's ears, speaking with a low voice laced with mockery, "Tonight, at ten. Orchard Manor. I'll see you there."
Luna paled at Joshua's words in an instant.
She only said what she said because she wanted to pull him out of his moody emotions, yet he truly thought that she was using her body as a transaction with him. He even set a time and date.
Just when the atmosphere between them was so overwhelming and suffocating, Adrian returned running from outside, panting.
He patted his chest while lowering his gaze and looking at the time.
"Fifteen minutes, just in time. Joshua, I'm back."
Adrian's voice wiped out the depressing atmosphere between Luna and Joshua.
Luna turned around and wanted to leave, but Joshua pulled her back.
"Don't go. There are things to talk about."
Then, Joshua fished a photo out from his pocket and showed it to Adrian.
"Do you know this man?" The photo was of a bald, bearded man, and the gesture confused Adrian.
Why was Joshua asking him this?
