How would they know that Fiona would intrude Luna's office early in the morning because she wanted to put vitamins into Luna’s cup of water?
Tit's... It’s because yesterday was the first day of work, and I already had such an unhappy incident with Ms. Luna."
At that moment, Fiona-who was so aggrieved a moment ago she could barely speak-finally said something.
Her voice still sounded so feeble, and it sounded shaky as well as she added, "I'd wake up with headaches if I don't drink anything to sober myself up after having alcohol. I thought that since we’re all ladies, Ms. Luna should be the same, too.
"Last night, after some alcohol, Joshua boiled some soup to sober me up, but perhaps no one will care for Ms. Luna the same way."
Fiona bit her lips, and her voice was so tender that it might crack at any moment. "That’s when I thought of secretly doing something for Ms. Luna, to give her some vitamins so that she won't be too disgruntled..."
Luna could not help but squinted her eyes at Fiona's words. 1
It might seem as though Fiona was explaining the reason why she put vitamins in Luna's cup, but the
truth was...
She was trying to show off that Joshua made her soup and cared for her. She also implied that Luna was pitiful because no one took care of her. She was creating an image of being kind-hearted and concerned for other people.
Perhaps, the others might only hear that Fiona was showing off the fact that Joshua made soup for her. T o Luna, there was another layer of meaning behind it.
Last night, Fiona sent Luna the video of Joshua serving her soup, and she even emphasized it once again.
It was clearly another way of trying to show her power and provoke Luna.
Luna smiled.
"Thank you for caring for me so much, Ms. Blake. Although I did have some alcohol last night, I still have people to look after me. My kids care for me, and I have a chef with many years of experience to make some soup for me, too. It tastes great.”
Then, Luna raised her eyebrows at Joshua. "Mr. Lynch, you even know how to make soup?"
