"Nothing much." Anne pursed her lips. "As you know, our hospital has the best plastic surgery department i n all of Banyan City. Recently, a lot of people have come by to ask if any of us had seen Hailey. They think she might’ve stopped by our hospital."
She continued, "Anyway, I heard that this Hailey girl has been obsessed with plastic surgery ever since her fiance dumped her. Their marriage was apparently arranged, but he didn't want to marry her."
Luna calmly stuffed a forkful of food into her mouth." This fiance of hers is none other than Joshua Lynch."
Anne's jaw dropped. "Does that mean...the one who stole her fiance was..."
"It was me." Luna gave Anne a smile. "Surprising, isn’t i t?"
Anne still gaped at her. "Surprising, indeed."
Luna finished her food and set down her cutlery. She got up, grabbed her coat, and said to Anne while she put it on, "Like me, Ms. Walter is just another poor girl who fell head over heels for the wrong person. She and I both sacrificed too much for that idiot Joshua. I pity her."
Luna's words baffled Anne so much that she did not know how to respond. After a while, she finally said," Luna, do you think maybe...Ms. Walter used your face a
s inspiration for her plastic surgery?"
Luna shook her head. "Anyone familiar with me and Joshua would know that we were never happy together. No one in their right mind would think Joshua is in love with me. Since he doesn't love me, why would she want to look like me?" With that, Luna picked up her bag and left.
Anne pursed her lips and mulled over what Luna had said. Anne knew that Luna was right, but she could not help but think something was wrong.
Everyone in Banyan City knew that though years passed, Joshua was still loyal to his ex-wife.

When Luna arrived at the office, it was just past 7am. The entire office was deserted. She turned on the lights, picked up the sketches from last night, and continued working on them with her door closed.
