The air in the office instantly turned deadly silent.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him with unfeeling eyes. "Luna, you're the one who needs my help now."
He tapped the tabletop lightly with his long fingers." You need my help, and yet you proceed to belittle me, i s this how you conduct yourself in society?"
Luna laughed lightly, "I'm just telling the truth.
Besides." She lifted an eyebrow and glanced at the document on the table. "I’m cooperating with you as equals. If I really requested your help, I would ask you t o pay for the children's medical bills directly, wouldn't I?"
The corners of Joshua's lips rose in a smile, raised his hand and picked up the document on the table, then proceeded to read through it seriously. "That’s true. Even though the children are mine too, I already gave you a villa and paid for all their medical bills up to now..."
As he spoke, he raised his deep, fathomless eyes and glanced at Luna. "That should be enough, right?"
Luna narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled. "Of course it is enough." As expected, this was all the warmth this man had for his children. To think she previously thought that he sincerely loved Neil and
Nellie, and was worried about Nigel. But the truth was, he was still the same cold and heartless man, the same highly-skilled actor.
A long moment later, they finished reading the contract and proposal that Luna burned the midnight oil to prepare. Finally, he placed the document on the table with a big, well-defined hand, then raised his eyes and glanced at Luna. "Three months to make ten million dollars for the company. Is it too rushed for you?"
He swept his eyes at her indifferently. "Why don't we extend the time period to four months?"
