The manager was baffled by the slap.
She crouched on the floor and looked at Aura blankly." Aura, you were the one that told me to do it..."
Why was it all her fault at that moment?
"Since when have I told you to do such things?" Aura slapped her manager another time. "I told you not to make a huge fuss of this. Don’t do meaningless things like this, yet you refuse to listen!"
Then, Aura looked at Joshua with her eyes filled with tears. "Joshua, Luna, I'm sorry that I did not take care o f my manager. You can hate me all you want. I will accept it."
She wiped off her tears. "Thank you. If you did not come in time, I wouldn’t have known that she was using my computer to do such things!" 3
Luna could not help but sneer at her exceptional acting skills.
Joshua also slightly furrowed his brows. "Didn't you notice one bit that she was using your computer to do such things?"
"Of course," Aura said looking aggrieved, "You should know that I'm not tech savvy. The computer is just a device for me to receive mail. I don't know how to do anything else with it."
"Joshua, don’t worry.” Aura took a deep breath and looked at Joshua sincerely, "I will get the company to fire my manager."
Upon hearing that Aura was firing her, the manager got up, pointed at Aura, and rebuked, "You unappreciative b*tch! I was the one that made you who you are today! You're firing me because of this? Since when was it never your idea? Every single headline was your idea! Now you’re blaming it all on m e?"
Then, she turned to look at Joshua. "Mr. Lynch. I really did not do it!"
"If it was not you, who was it then? Me?”
Aura kicked the manager and she fell down to the ground once more.
Then, Aura reached out to tug on Joshua’s sleeve." Joshua, we have been together for so many years. You should know how I am. I have never wanted to put you under the spotlight due to my work, I don't need this t o make news...”
