Yannie immediately nodded. "That's right! Ms. Luna, you have to believe me!
"I met with Mr. Lynch because...because we had some business to talk about!"
Luna replied in a whisper, "Yannie, I trust that both you and Joshua are innocent, but even if you are, you have to tell me the truth —what were you and Joshua talking about that day?
"Unless you tell me the truth right now...I won't be able to believe you fully."
Yannie curled her fingers tightly around the phone.
Truth be told, she wanted nothing more than to tell Luna that she and Joshua were just business partners—Joshua had promised her money, and her task was to get close and spy on Thomas!
However, she could not tell Luna this.
According to Joshua, she was forbidden to talk about their deal to a third person without his permission, and if she violated this, she would have to pay double in retribution.
This meant that if she told Luna the truth, not only would she fail to receive the money Joshua promised, but she would even have to fork out a million dollars to him.
Therefore, Yannie bit her lip and replied," Ms. Luna, all you have to know is that nothing is going on between Mr. Lynch and me, and as for what we were talking about...
She sniffed. "You'll have to ask Mr. Lynch himself; I promised him I'd never tell another soul, and I have to stick to my word."
Then, she quickly changed the topic as though she was worried she would not be able to continue lying. "Well, all I wanted was to tell you this, Ms. Luna. Please believe in Mr. Lynch's loyalty toward you. Don't... Don't let this news affect your relationship!"
Then, she hung up the phone without waiting for Luna's reply.
