"Can I have a look?" Courtney pointed at the documents on the table and asked politely.
Luna paused for a while. After a moment, she picked the teacup up and took a sip. "Go ahead." Her handwriting did not look good, but it was not ugly either.
The company's rules and regulations were not some corporate confidential documents, so Courtney could have a look however she liked.
"Thank you!" Courtney smiled, picked up the documents, and leafed through them.
"Wow, your handwriting is pretty!” Courtney flipped through as she took out the documents from the folders, pretending to be mesmerized by Luna’s handwriting.
Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Courtney, not saying anything.
When the cleaners carried the bucket past Courtney, her hands jolted and dropped every single piece of paper that had Luna's handwriting into the bucket. 1
The writings on the white paper were instantly smeared with dirty water.
The cleaners and Courtney jumped, and the cleaners immediately took the papers out but noticed that the
writings were smeared.
Courtney immediately cried out loud, "Luna, I'm so sorry! What should I do? Should I help you talk to President Lynch and ask for mercy?"
Courtney looked at Luna with reddened eyes. "I look like his ex-wife; perhaps it might help you when asking him for forgiveness."
Luna calmly placed the teacup down and looked at Courtney with a dull gaze.
"Okay." Luna stretched lazily. "Later, you'll head in straight away to talk to Joshua about this and say that it's your fault. I’ll be waiting for you outside. If you can let him forget about it, I won't make things difficult for you, but if he doesn’t let this matter go and asks me to copy once more tomorrow..."
Luna smiled calmly and pointed at the surveillance above. "I’ll want to properly analyze the surveillance with President Lynch. We’ll see if your actions just now were an accident or if it was done on purpose.”
Courtney's face instantly turned pale.
She bit her lips aggrievedly. "It was an accident! Why would I do it on purpose?”
"It's hard to say." Luna changed into another comfortable position on the sofa.
Women understood their own kind the best, and they usually could pinpoint the problems out at once.
After Aura Gibson had manipulated and tricked her for many years, Luna was also a pro at this.
Luna knew what Courtney wanted to do from the moment she spilled her coffee. The only reason why she did not stop Courtney was that she did not truly want Joshua to see her handwriting.
Actively stopping him from looking at her handwriting was one matter, but being set up was a different matter.
If Courtney wanted to play little tricks, she was more than happy to oblige.
Just when the two of them were in a stand-off, one being aggrieved while the other looking relaxed, Lucas furrowed his brows and announced from the distance, "The president has finished his meeting.
"Who's going to see him first? Or, are both of you heading in together?"
"She'll go first." "She first!"
Luna and Courtney said in unison.
Then, Luna looked at Courtney aloofly. "Do you want m e to go first? If I go first and Joshua asks me about the documents, I’ll say that I'm not sure about it, and we’ll have to check the security footage."
Upon Luna’s words, Courtney's face instantly turned pale.
In the end, she stood up anxiously and entered Joshua's office.
The moment Courtney pushed the office door open, Luna, who was still leaning on the sofa, calmly reminded her, "Don’t forget to plead on my behalf to M r. Lynch!"
