Anne did not notice the changes in Luna's expressions. She went to pour herself a glass of water, remarking as she drank, "Actually I feel that Joshua is very hard to read sometimes. After the video was posted online and it gained traction, Lynch Group immediately sent out an announcement at first notice that the video is misleading.
"Not long after the notice, Joshua contacted me and told me about the incident. He said that you must be i n a bad mood and told me to cheer you up."
Anne could not help but scoff, "If I didn't know that he was the scumbag that hurt you so much, I would’ve thought that he’s a good person.”
Luna secretly clenched her fists.
After a while, she got up and rushed to the balcony.
The place where the Maserati once stopped was already empty. Luna slapped her forehead in annoyance.
Joshua must have thought that she was nuts. He prepared a surprise for her, yet she refused to invite him up.
It was quite cold on the balcony.
In the cold night breeze, Luna took her phone out and dialed Joshua.
"Are you going to thank me?” came Joshua's first response the moment the call connected.
Luna was silent for a while before a feeble sigh escaped her lips. "Why didn’t you tell me? I thought that..."
"You thought that I was going to do something to you?" said Joshua teasingly. "It's rare of you to think o f this after such a terrible encounter."
Joshua's comment made Luna's face burn as if she had been slapped.
She sniffled, not wanting to continue such an awkward topic with him. "We haven’t had our meals yet. Do you want to come?"
The call was paused for a while. After a long while, Joshua laughed in a low voice. "I gave you a chance to invite me up just now, but you didn't cherish it. I'm on the way to visit Natasha. Alice is waiting for me at the entrance of the hospital.”
