Luna never expected this was what happened. She leaned on Joshua's back, stupefied and at a loss for words.
"Alright." Joshua smiled and grabbed her hand tightly. "You had a busy day, and it's time to rest. Although Lucas made a mistake, it's nothing worth fretting over. Before he became my assistant, he worked in the family and was quite close with Adrian. It was understandable for him to contact Adrian.
"Besides, Lucas has helped me a lot over these few years. Even if there's no merit, he also worked hard. This is the second time he made a mistake."
Joshua could endure the first and second times Lucas made mistakes. Nonetheless, if Lucas made a mistake for the third time...
He narrowed his eyes slightly. If there was a third time, he would have to consider if he should continue to keep Lucas by his side.
"Yeah." Luna understood what Joshua was thinking, so she nodded and let go of him." I'll go rest now. You should sleep early too."
She took a deep breath and turned to leave the study. When she was back in the bedroom, she went to take her shower as usual. After that, she lay on the bed to play with her phone.
Suddenly, a notification alert came in to notify Luna there was an unread message. Luna furrowed her brow and, upon clicking on the notification, was greeted with Malcolm's messages.
[Luna, can you please save me after I took care of you and your children for six years?] [I lied to Thomas about Riley... Now, he's sending his men to look for me and said he wants to break my leg!]
[Can you please help me with this one last time?]
