Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 379

Hearing what Alice had said, Mr. Scott immediately set the glass down in front of Luna. "Here you go, Ms. Luna."

Luna frowned and glanced at the glass of liquor but made no move to pick it up. "I'm just an ordinary employee. Isn't it inappropriate for me to accept a toast from you, Mr. Scott?" She glanced at Joshua before she added, "Besides, I don't tolerate alcohol that well. I’m afraid that I might do something stupid after I get drunk.”

Seeing how Luna glanced meaningfully at Joshua, Alice tightened her grip on his arm. "I beg to differ, M s. Luna. Mr. Lynch has risked his life to save yours, so what makes you think you're just an ordinary employee? Besides..."

Alice glanced at the glass that clearly contained hard liquor and sneered. Then, she lied through her teeth," It's just one glass. How could you get drunk from that?”

Luna smirked and looked at Joshua. "Mr. Lynch, are you sure you want me to accept this drink on your behalf?"

Joshua smiled and lifted his head to glance at Mr.

Smith. "I don’t think that's a good idea, Mr. Scott." He had witnessed Luna in her drunken state before, and i t certainly was not pretty.

Mr. Scott refused to relent. "Mr. Lynch appears to take very good care of his female employees. Although I guess that makes perfect sense. Mr. Lynch is even willing to put himself in harm's way for his employee." With that, he shot Luna a teasing look and added, "It appears that Ms. Luna truly is an outstanding employee. Otherwise, why would Mr. Lynch go to such lengths for you?"

Mr. Scott's words were borderline insulting. Luna frowned and stood up abruptly. "I'm going to the washroom."

"Luna," called out Alice curtly as soon as she realized Luna tried to flee the scene. "You’ve always insisted that nothing is going on between you and Joshua and that your relationship is just that of a boss and his employee. However, you refuse to take a drink for Joshua, and you don't even try to explain anything when Mr. Scott has misunderstood you."
