With a bang, the door to the office was closed. Luna and Joshua were the only two people left in the room.
Frowning slightly, he turned and sat down in his president's chair, gazing indifferently at the folder in Luna’s arms. "After being on leave for so long, you have a report to make the moment you return to work?"
"Yes.” Luna recovered herself, then looked at Joshua tauntingly. "Unlike you, I neither have the time nor the money, or the beautiful woman by my side. I'm just a poor woman with two sick children, of course I have t o pour all my efforts into my work.” With that, she walked forward and flipped open the folder in her arms, placing it in front of him. Then, she said in a cool and indifferent tone, "This is a proposal that I came up with last night. I would like to deal with you.”
Joshua raised his eyebrows, lowering his eyes and flipped through the document on his desk. Then, he opened his mouth and said coolly, "You want me to pay you 600,000 in advance for your labor costs?"
Luna nodded. "I ran the numbers; this is the least amount I need to pay for Nigel and Nellie's medical bills. You must’ve heard, Nigel found a compatible bone marrow."
When she mentioned the bone marrow, she paid special attention to studying his expression. However,
his face remained cool and arrogant, without a hint of emotion in his face. As if the fact that Nigel found a compatible bone marrow, that he could now be saved, t o him, was not news that was worthy of celebration.
In an instant, Luna's heart felt as if it had dropped into a thousand-year-old frozen lake. She knew he would b e so heartless. But even so, she still found it ironic when his predicted reactions truly appeared in front o f her. Just a few days ago he looked like he was worried sick about Nigel, even personally going to Malcolm’s home abroad to bring him back to Banyan City. And she thought he was a loving father, someone who valued his family, and really treasured her children.
But in the end?
She lifted her lips in a taunting smile and said, "I know there’s no reason for you to continue paying for my children's medical bills, so I plan to pay them myself. Since I am in urgent need of money, and I am currently your employee, it’s not too much to ask for you to pay me these labor costs in advance, right?"
Sucking in a deep breath, she pointed to the bottom half of the document. "But I promise to provide you with services of the same value. I promise to create business opportunities worth at least ten million dollars for the Lynch Group. If I fail, I will continue my position here, until I achieve the aforesaid goal."
With that, she looked at him solemnly. "Paying 600,000 in advance and gaining opportunities worth ten million in return. This is a winning deal for you, M r. Lynch.”
Joshua leaned back in his chair, glancing at her with faint eyes, and smiled. "You just said Nigel is about to undergo his operation. Are you sure you can focus your attention on work during this period of time?"
"Of course not." Luna sucked in a deep breath, walked forward, and flipped open the folder, pointing to the document inside. "I have mapped out a detailed plan and consulted the doctor. One day before Nigel's operation, I need to be by his side for the preoperative preparations. After that, I only need to accompany him for three days to ensure nothing is out of the ordinary. For the rest of the time, I will be fully
focused on work. You don't have to worry about this, M r. Lynch."
Joshua narrowed his eyes, then studied her with cool and indifferent eyes. "Are you sure you can divide your attention to work?"
"Of course.” Luna raised her head and smiled in the direction of his cold, hard face. "Nigel has been sick for a long time now. Previously I could even sleep with you when Nigel was sick. Work is nothing compared t o a two-faced man.
