"Was she the one who scalded Ms. Blake with her coffee?”
"Yes. I heard that Ms. Blake's burns were so severe that her abdomen was covered entirely in blisters.
How terrifying! Despite that, Ms. Blake didn't blame her for anything."
"Not only did Ms. Blake forgive her, but she even asked President Lynch not to reprimand Luna for this. Apparently, she didn’t want to cause any conflict or rifts between them because of the upcoming jewelry design contest."
"Do you think President Lynch will chew her out after the competition is over?"
"Who knows? Even though she’s a talented designer, she’s not a good person at all..."
That night, while Luna and the rest were eating dinner at the company cafeteria, they overheard the murmurs and whispers of employees all around them.
Samson immediately furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He slammed his fork down on the table forcefully and growled, "How dare they spread lies like this!"
Luna, on the other end, frowned slightly and reached
out her hand to stop him. "Don't cause us any trouble."
After witnessing how Joshua had managed to delete the messages from Charmaine's phone without flinching, Luna no longer felt like getting involved with Joshua and Fiona anymore.
She wanted to focus on the competition and fulfill her promise to Joshua of bringing in ten million dollars revenue for the company and abide by their contract.
After that, she was free to take Nigel and Nellie away from this wretched city.
Nigel and Nellie had been pestering her about finding Neil lately and even claimed that he was somewhere i n the mountains.
Even though Luna did not believe their words, she still promised them that she would bring them to find Neil. Luna did not want to take the children's freedom away from them. Instead, she wanted to let them know that they were free to do whatever they wanted.
Even if they did not manage to find him, it would be a great opportunity to get some fresh air.
Seeing how Luna was trying to pretend nothing had happened, Samson could not help feeling angry for her. He clenched his teeth and glanced at her. "You didn't use to be so timid."
"Well, I am now." Luna chuckled. She picked up her food tray, but before she could make it to the tray recycling section, she bumped into Joshua and Fiona, who had appeared at the cafeteria entrance, holding
hands.
Fiona gently laid her head against Joshua's shoulder and said, "I don't think we have to eat at fancy restaurants all the time. Sometimes it’s nice to eat at a place like your company cafeteria. It feels a lot more down-to-earth, don’t you think?”
Joshua nodded impassively. "Yes.”
