Luna's grip on Granny Lynch was extremely tight as she glared at Granny Lynch. "The painting I ruined was a replica. It wasn’t even the real one, but even if it was, you have no right to lecture me on this!"
"Director Luna..." There was a sudden knock on the door, and Courtney entered. "Mr. Lynch wants you to..." Courtney stopped in her tracks as she took in the scene before her. The two women seemed to be caught in some sort of wrestle. Courtney’s gaze fell on Luna's angry expression and the way she gripped Granny Lynch’s wrists.
Although caught off-guard, Courtney soon came to her senses. She immediately rushed forward. "Director Luna, please let go of Granny Lynch. She’s the CEO's grandmother!"
As soon as she said this, Granny Lynch frowned and let out a shriek. "Ouch! It hurts! I think I have a fracture! She’s squeezing my hands so hard. I think m y bones are broken!"
Granny Lynch's screams instantly caught the attention of everyone else outside the room. The employees crowded around at Luna’s door, trying to sneak a peek at whatever went on inside.
Courtney immediately went along with it. She held onto Granny Lynch and asked with a pained expression, "Granny, are you okay? Why don’t I bring
you to the hospital?" "No need..." Granny Lynch said, her eyes welling up with tears. "I want to see my grandson. He must do something about this! I'm just a frail old lady. How can she do this to me?"
Courtney clenched her teeth and nodded. "Alright, I’ll bring you to him right this instant!" With that, she left with Granny Lynch.
Luna remained motionless and let out a huge sigh of relief.
With the office door still open, the rest of the employees peered in, their faces etched with curiosity.
"Get back to work!" Luna glowered at them and slammed the door shut.
She slumped back into her chair and stared at the torn paper on her desk, her mind brimming with rage and frustration.
