Luna narrowed her eyes when she heard what Fiona had said.
It was easy to think Fiona was saying this on purpose.
Shannon turned to Luna and surreptitiously mimed vomiting.
Initially, she had thought Fiona was an innocent woman. However, Shannon guessed that she must have overheard the rest of the employees gossiping about Joshua and Luna, which explained her current behavior.
Shannon knew the reason Fiona said what she had said was because she wanted to get on Luna's nerves.
Seeing that Joshua did not answer, a glimmer of malice flashed through Fiona’s eyes. She let out a sigh and said wistfully, "Actually, Joshua, I don't think I’m a good enough match for you... You deserve to be with someone like Ms. Luna. I can't compete with her at all.."
Joshua could hear Fiona’s voice waver and immediately furrowed his brows. The doctor had told him that Fiona had been triggered, so she had to keep her emotions under control for the time being.
Otherwise, she would collapse and have to be hospitalized.
As soon as he thought of this, Joshua sighed and tried
to console her in a low, gentle voice, "Fiona, don't think so low of yourself. You have your strengths, too."
Fiona bit down on her lip and cast Joshua an innocent, endearing look. "But I—"
"You don’t have to compare yourself with anyone else. To me, you’re the most perfect woman in the world." With that, Joshua glanced at the elevator and said," We're here."
Fiona nodded feebly. "Okay."
The elevator doors slid open, and the two exited, one after another.
The doors closed after them.
"D*mn!" Shannon could not help cursing at everything that happened a few moments ago. "Director Luna, Fiona's doing this on purpose!”
Fiona had deliberately said the things she said, claiming that Luna was a better match for Joshua and that she could not compare to Luna at all when, in reality, all she wanted was to hear Joshua's praise!
All she wanted was to hear Joshua compliment her and tell her that she was better than Luna.
Shannon could not help thinking that Fiona was a very calculating woman. Fortunately, Joshua was still smart enough to see through her and did not do as she wanted. Luna would have been humiliated otherwise.
