"How did you know I was working late tonight?" asked Luna as she munched on the food Theo had brought for her.
Theo chuckled. "What if I told you I'd been waiting for you outside since 5pm?"
Luna almost choked on her food. "Really?"
"Of course not, silly." Theo leaned against the chair and stretched. "When I was at your friend's place this morning, I asked for her number, too. I called her just now, and she told me you weren’t home yet, so I guessed that you were probably still working."
Luna felt relieved upon hearing Theo's explanation. Otherwise, she did not know how to react if Theo had indeed waited for her for more than three hours.
She stuffed the rest of the food into her mouth as quickly as she could. "Let's go.”
Theo chuckled again and helped her clean up the food containers. "Let's go. The landlord is waiting for us."
Luna nodded and followed him out of the office. Joshua had been watching everything from his position in a dark corner of the office with none of them knowing. He watched with a somewhat displeased look on his face as the two walked to the elevator.
As Theo got on the elevator, he abruptly turned around and glanced in Joshua's direction, seemingly looking straight at him.
The elevator doors closed, and the two descended. A split second later, Joshua's phone rang. It was Alice again, asking him to come home.
Joshua muted the call in frustration and got into the elevator. When he came out of the building, he caught sight of Theo’s car that seemed to head in the opposite direction of Anne's house.
Was Luna genuinely going home with Theo? That woman had no shame!
Joshua squinted as he clenched his fists even tighter.
