Luna was so shocked that she was speechless for a long while.
Jim was like Joshua. They had a lot of trade confidential information on them, thus their phone held the lifeline to the company. They would never simply leave their phone, let alone leave their phone with someone they were not close to.
Luna furrowed her brows. "Why are you with my brother?"
Charlotte, on the other end of the line, merely smiled. She looked at Jim, who had passed out slumped on the table in front of her.
"It's because he asked me out, of course." Then, she sighed and said, "Don't get me wrong. He looked for m e not because he wanted to get back together with me. It's because..."
Charlotte raised her eyebrows.
"He wanted to chase me away while you're not in Merchant City. He wanted me to stay away from you."
Then, Charlotte sighed and said, "But I don't have the time to waste on you. He's overthinking this."
Luna furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something else when Charlotte gave the excuse that Jim had returned and hung up.
Luna clutched her phone tightly as she heard the dial beeping. Waves of unease washed over her.
Luna did not believe what Charlotte said. After all, even if Jim truly asked Charlotte out for coffee to warn her to stay away from Luna, he would not have given his phone to her when he went to the bathroom.
This was not something Jim would do.
However, she was in Banyan City at that moment. She could not personally verify if what Charlotte said was true.
After a while, Luna could only take her phone and call the butler of the Landry Mansion. She got him to send someone to look for Jim to make sure he was alright.
After hanging up her phone, Luna closed her eyes and leaned back on the car seat, resting.
