Chapter 281


    “You?”


    Luna said nothing else when she realized it was Joshua who entered.


    She shut the door to the room and leaned against the door. She looked at him coldly. “It’ste. What are


    you doing here instead of being with the missus, Mr. Lynch?“


    It did not faze her that Joshua managed to locate her.


    After all, with his power in Banyan City, locating her whereabouts was a piece of cake.


    Joshua leaned back on the sofa and was rather pleased.


    He saw how she reacted. When Luna did not recognize who it was that entered, she thought it was Theo


    instead and got angry.


    However, when Luna realized it was Joshua, her hostility immediately vanished. She was even quite


    relieved.


    Her reaction proved that he was a trustworthy person in her heart.


    Far more than Theo, at least. “I’m here to apologize.“


    Apologize? Luna furrowed her brows. “About how your grandmother destroyed my design sketches?“


    She took a deep breath.  “You’ve already repaid me with a two—day grace period.“

    Then, she coldly swept Joshua a nce. “Are there any other matters?“


    Joshua switched into an even morefortable position on the sofa.


    He looked at her with his deep gaze. “I’ve already settled the news. As of half an hour ago, news about


    that day had vanishedpletely from the inte.“


    Luna momentarily paused before she recalled how she had warned Joshua to deal with the issue back at


    the office. Otherwise, she would expose the surveince footage.


    At that thought, she chuckled self-deprecatingly. “ Here I was, wondering if Mrs. Lynch would get angry


    since you left her home alone. It looks like she won’t because, after all, you came out because of her. No


    need to fret, Mr. Lynch. As long as you agree to my demands, I won’t expose the footage.“


    Joshua furrowed his brows at her aloofness. “Alice doesn’t know I’m here.“


    Luna furrowed her brows. “You’re nning to sacrifice for her secretly? Or do you want me to let Mrs.


    Lynch know how great you’re treating her?“


    “Luna! “ Joshua could not take any of Luna’s peculiar behavior.


    He red at Luna angrily. “Must you talk to me like that? Even if we’re no longer in a rtionship like we


    once were, we’re still considered work colleagues and friends, aren’t we? Do you have to talk to me like


    that?“


    Luna stared at him, her clear eyes zed with frost.


    After a long time, she looked at her face and enunciated, “Who said anything about being friends?“


    He was not worthy of being her friend; he never treated her sincerely from the beginning. Was he worthy


    of being her friend?


    “Leave.“


    She took a step back and immediately opened the room door.


    “Leave.“


    Luna was initially in a good mood from moving house that day. Just when she was moving the final bits


    and pieces, she received Nellie’s call.


    That phone call made her heart sink to the bottom.


    Even Theo could see that something was off with Luna. He did not enter and helped her unpack, yet


    Joshua dared to tell her to her face that she had an attitude?


    Did she need to treat him well?


    “Luna! “


    Luna asking him to leave made Joshuapletely aggravated.


    He knew that Alice was the one at fault, so he came full of sincerity to apologize to Luna!


    However, not only did Luna imply that he was not worthy of being her friend, but she also asked him to


    leave!


    Luna was the first woman who dared to so arrogantly ask Joshua to leave in his entire life.


    He strode toward her and kicked the door shut.


    The next second, he sped Luna’s neck and pinned her to the door.


    ”You’re getting more and more arrogant.”
