"No matter how hard I try, I can't ever be as elegant and sophisticated as Ms. Luna." Fiona let out an exhale and forced a bitter smile. "Thankfully, Joshua doesn't seem to mind." 1
With that, she turned around to glance at Joshua." Aren't you going to say hello, Joshua? Ms. Luna's here t o attend the party with us."
Joshua paused for a moment, then strode in their direction. He stuck out his hand gracefully and said, " What a coincidence.”
It was not a coincidence. He came because he heard Luna was going to be here.
Luna glanced at Joshua's arm, which still hovered mid -air, but did not reach out to shake it. Instead, she let out a chuckle and tilted her head away. "Yes. What a coincidence. No matter where I go, I seem to run into Mr. Lynch and Ms. Blake together everywhere.
Anyone might think I was following the two of you."
She shot Joshua and Fiona a self-deprecating smile and said, "I'll leave now so as not to bother you.
Goodbye."
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Fiona narrowed her eyes slightly, then rushed forward and grabbed hold of Luna's arm. She was surprisingly strong, to the extent that Luna could not remove
herself from Fiona's grasp.
"Ms. Luna, you're still angry at Joshua, aren’t you?" said Fiona in a choked voice. "Don’t take too much notice of what Joshua said earlier. He was just trying t o protect me. He had no intention of hurting you at all."
She stopped abruptly, as if suddenly realizing something, and turned to glance at Joshua. "Joshua, M s. Luna is still angry at you. Why don't you apologize t o her?"
Joshua narrowed his eyes but said nothing at all.
