Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 3023

Lucas was frozen in shock as he watched Luna saunter away.

After Luna disappeared into the elevator, he finally broke out of his stupor. He glanced first at the food container in his hands, then at the sight of Joshua chatting with the woman in his office, and immediately understood what had happened.

He smacked his forehead in regret and quickly strode into the room.

"Mr. Bean, why did you bring an extra portion of food when Joshua and I are almost done with our meal?" the woman asked, frowning as she glanced at the container in Lucas' hand.

Lucas rolled his eyes at her—just out of her sight—and placed the container in front of Joshua. "Sir, I ran into Ma'am outside the door just now. She came to bring you your lunch."

With that, he glanced at the woman and added with a hint of contempt, "I'm thinking that Ma'am must've arrived just in time to see you enjoying your lunch with Ms. Moore here and got the wrong idea."

As he said this, he could not help rolling his eyes at the woman. "Ms. Moore, you shouldn't have done this. Since you came all the way to visit your cousin, why did you choose only to visit Sir here at his office instead of visiting Ma'am as well? Now that Ma'am has misunderstood, they might even get into a fight, and if that happens, how are you going to continue working here?"

With that, Lucas turned to stare at Joshua. "You, too, Sir. Even if Ms. Moore here is just your cousin, you shouldn't have chosen to have lunch with her in private, in your office like this. Everyone else will get the wrong idea. And besides, it's clear that you didn't tell Ma'am that your cousin, Ms. Tara Moore has come to visit! Seeing that Ma'am wasn't aware of Ms. Moore's arrival, she must've misinterpreted things when she bumped into this!"

Joshua furrowed his brows, glancing at Lucas.

Lucas had been working for him for so long that they had gotten way too comfortable with each other. Although Lucas was the assistant and he was the CEO, he could not believe that Lucas had assumed a position of criticizing him.
