Chapter 378
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Is this how you treat someone who saved your life?“
Luna forced a smile and continued to feed him. “If something simr happens again in the future, I hope
Mr. Lynch won’t do this again. Firstly, I’m just an ordinary employee, and I don’t need the CEO to protect
me. Number two, even if I got hurt, you can just give me a few days’ leave or even mary
compensation. I don’t need anyone to rescue me.“
Luna shot Alice a re. “I ‘d rather get hurt than be misjudged for something that wasn’t even my
intention.“
Alice’s face was ashen at Luna’s words. She frowned and was about to say something in defense when
Joshua cast her a meaningful look that stopped her right in her tracks.
“I’d still save you if this happens again in the future.“ Joshua turned around and smiled at Luna. “ Alice
was right. A boss should always protect his employees, especially since you’re one of our star workers.“
He observed Luna’s expression for a while before he added, “Although I do wish my employees could
show a little gratitude toward their boss. One way of doing that would be adopting a better attitude when
feeding me.“
Luna stiffened at his suggestion. After a moment, she heaved a deep sigh and brought the fork up to
Joshua’s mouth a little gentler.
Luna knew Joshua was right. Their rtionship was that of a boss and his star employee. She should
have disyed more gratitude towards him instead of behaving in such a way.
They soon finished their meal and quickly made their way to the next destination of their field trip. The
on-site investigations that happened thereafter went by much quicker than in the morning. They did not
have much to do apart from obtaining information about thetest jewelry design concepts and fashion
trends.
Although there was no longer any risk of getting hurt, Luna received a different kind of shock that
afternoon. She was perplexed and somewhat mortified by Alice’s actions throughout the whole day.
Alice had touched one of the samples on disy out of curiosity and flipped through the otherpany’s
design sketches. To make things worse, she even scribbled a few doodles on the notice board that
hung outside the otherpany’s design department.
Since she was the CEO’s wife, Luna did not think it was appropriate for her to reprimand Alice in public.
She had no choice but to apologize to thepany they were visiting and tell her off in private.
Luna could not help but feel exasperated because of that. She knew Alice did it all on purpose. Anyone
who had manners knew better than tomit mistakes like them. Therefore, the only exnation was
that Alice did it purposely to get on Luna’s nerves.

The field trip finally ended at 8pm that night. The owner of thestpany they went to was an old
friend of Joshua’s, so it was natural he insisted on inviting all of them for dinner. Joshua did not reject his
offer, so Luna, Alice, and Gavin tagged along as well.
As soon as they started eating, the owner of thepany, Mr. Scott, raised his ss up for a toast. “ Mr.
Lynch, it’s been a while since west saw each other! “
“Mr. Scott,“ Alice interjected as soon as he finished his sentence. She chuckled and reached out her
hand, stopping him from offering the ss of liquor to Joshua. “As you can see, Joshua has hurt his arm.
I don’t think he should be drinking.“
Mr. Scott froze for a moment, thenughed. “Oh, well. Since Mr. Lynch can’t drink, why not Mrs. Lynch
ept my toast on his behalf?“
“I ‘m sorry, Mr. Scott, but I can’t.“ Alice smiled at him. “I ‘m very lightweight. I’m afraid that if I drink too
much, I might throw up and cause a scene.“ She pointed at Luna and said, “Why not let Ms. Luna ept
Joshua’s toast instead? She’s the most important person here on this trip besides the two of us. She’s
one of Lynch Group’s star employees.
Besides…“
Alice smirked. “She’s the reason Joshua hurt his arm. She should drink on his behalf to repay her debt of
gratitude.“
