Theo tried convincing himself nothing happened between them.
But now...
He placed the empty glass on the table, turned and smiled faintly at Luna.
"I have a sudden craving for fried chicken, I think I'll g o join Neil and Nellie."
With that, he smiled wryly and turned to leave.
With the bang, the door was closed once again.
Luna closed her eyes in despair.
Theo must think of her as an easy woman, as a liar.
She mentioned countless times before that she wasn't interested in Joshua.
But, not being interested in him was one thing.
Saving Nigel was an entirely different matter.
But she could not tell the truth to everyone who misunderstood her.
"Feel bad?"
All of a sudden, Joshua’s voice rang out beside her ear, full of contempt.
Luna frowned.
The moment she opened her eyes, Joshua immediately pressed her into her chair, leaning into her, his gaze predatory, just like his actions. "How long have you known him, and now it hurts to see him go?"
Fury colored his voice.
Luna frowned and turned her head, refusing to look at him.
He turned her head towards him.
He held up her jaw. "You feel I can't satisfy you, or you're that easy and flirtatious, sleeping with every man you meet?”
His words infuriated her.
She furrowed her brows and glared at him, "Joshua Lynch!"
“You're pissed?"
He leaned down, pressing his thin lips beside her ear, his cold voice riding on his warm breath. "Before I decide to let you go, don't you dare dream of letting other men touch you."
His voice was low and dominating.
Luna laughed as she listened to him.
She raised her head, her eyes mocking him. "You can surround yourself with women, enjoying both my company and your wife's back home, and I can't?”
Joshua's eyes darkened.
A moment later, he sneered, "Are you jealous of Alice?”
