The atmosphere in the booth dropped a few degrees.
Joshua narrowed his eyes. His eyes were filled with coldness.
"Do you have to speak so harshly?"
Luna smiled.
"How do you want me to speak then, Mr. Lynch? I initially rejected Fiona entering my team, but you forced it upon me with your powers, so I had to accommodate her into my team. I aim to win the competition, so besides letting Ms. Blake run errands and do simple tasks, what else can I do?"
Joshua was silent upon Luna's words. It was not that h e never thought about those problems before.
However, he felt that with Luna’s ability, taking on Fiona would not have any problem. He never expected that Fiona would not be able to do a simple basic task well.
Joshua had also expressed his concerns for Fiona's work, but every time he asked her, she would smile and say that all was fine and she was very happy working.
Joshua never expected that Fiona was in such a situation.
At that thought, Joshua sighed.
"It's my mistake, then, but now isn't the time to point fingers."
Joshua leaned back and furrowed his brows, looking a t Luna.
"President Calvin came to me. He said that there is still an opportunity to turn this matter around. If he had secretly come to know about this incident, he could turn a blind eye. However, this incident came to light during the meeting. Also, the voice of the people o n the internet cursing you is quite loud.
"If you still want the Lynch Group to continue participating in the competition..."
Joshua took a deep breath.
"It’s possible, except that you have to withdraw from the competition."
The atmosphere in the booth sunk lower.
Luna bit her lip. She held her cup of fruit tea so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"I know this may be a difficult request for you."
Joshua was a little heartbroken, looking at Luna's disappointed yet stoic look.
If there were another way of resolving this issue, he would not want her to be so disappointed.
