“Can I have a look?“ Courtney pointed at the documents on the table and asked politely.
Luna paused for a while. After a moment, she picked the teacup up and took a sip. “Go ahead.“ Her
handwriting did not look good, but it was not ugly either.
The company’s rules and regulations were not some corporate confidential documents, so Courtney
could have a look however she liked.
“Thank you! “ Courtney smiled, picked up the documents, and leafed through them.
“Wow, your handwriting is pretty! “ Courtney flipped through as she took out the documents from the
folders, pretending to be mesmerized by Luna’s handwriting.
Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Courtney, not saying anything.
When the cleaners carried the bucket past Courtney, her hands jolted and dropped every single piece
of paper that had Luna’s handwriting into the bucket.
The writings on the white paper were instantly smeared with dirty water.
The cleaners and Courtney jumped, and the cleaners immediately took the papers out but noticed that
the writings were smeared.
Courtney immediately cried out loud, “Luna, I’m so sorry! What should I do? Should I help you talk to
President Lynch and ask for mercy?“
Courtney looked at Luna with reddened eyes. “I look like his ex-wife; perhaps it might help you when
asking him for forgiveness.“
Luna calmly placed the teacup down and looked at Courtney with a dull gaze.
“Okay.“ Luna stretched lazily. “Later, you’ll head in straight away to talk to Joshua about this and say
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat it’s your fault. I’ll be waiting for you outside. If you can let him forget about it, I won’t make things
difficult for you, but if he doesn’t let this matter go and asks me to copy once more tomorrow…“
Luna smiled calmly and pointed at the surveillance above. “I’ll want to properly analyze the surveillance
with President Lynch. We’ll see if your actions just now were an accident or if it was done on purpose.“
Courtney’s face instantly turned pale.
She bit her lips aggrievedly. “It was an accident! Why would I do it on purpose?“
“It’s hard to say.“ Luna changed into another comfortable position on the sofa.
Women understood their own kind the best, and they usually could pinpoint the problems out at once.
After Aura Gibson had manipulated and tricked her for many years, Luna was also a pro at this.
Luna knew what Courtney wanted to do from the moment she spilled her coffee. The only reason why
she did not stop Courtney was that she did not truly want Joshua to see her handwriting.
Actively stopping him from looking at her handwriting was one matter, but being set up was a different
matter.
If Courtney wanted to play little tricks, she was more than happy to oblige.
Just when the two of them were in a stand -off, one being aggrieved while the other looking relaxed,
Lucas furrowed his brows and announced from the distance, “The president has finished his meeting.
“Who’s going to see him first? Or, are both of you heading in together?“
“She’ll go first.“ “She first! “ Luna and Courtney said in unison.
Then, Luna looked at Courtney aloofly. “Do you want me to go first? If I go first and Joshua asks me
about the documents, I ’11 say that I’m not sure about it, and we’ll have to check the security footage.“
Upon Luna’s words, Courtney’s face instantly turned pale.
In the end, she stood up anxiously and entered Joshua’s office.
The moment Courtney pushed the office door open, Luna, who was still leaning on the sofa, calmly
reminded her, “Don’t forget to plead on my behalf to Mr. Lynch! “
Courtney gripped the door handles tight. She paused for a while.
Slam!
She slammed the door harshly as she entered.
Luna, leaning on the sofa, looked at the two of them talking in the office while sipping tea.
Clearly, even if Courtney did look like Luna Gibson, she still had no power against Joshua.
Luna sighed.
Looking at Courtney facing the frigid Joshua, she thought back about how she was with Joshua.
There was once back then when he treated her so coldly and frigidly, too.
The scene before her was like a mirror, and she could see herself clearly. She saw how stupid and
naive she was back then.
Ten minutes later, Courtney came out of the office with reddened eyes. She did not even glance at
Luna before rubbing her eyes and running toward the elevator in big steps.
Seeing her disappointed figure, Luna felt a little pity toward her. Courtney was like the past her.
The present would like to hug herself from the past and tell her that everything would be fine.
“Luna.“ Lucas’ voice immediately pulled Luna back to the present.
Returning to her senses, she took those few pieces of wet paper from the cleaners, turned, and headed
into the office.
The documents which had been smeared and covered in dirty water were placed on Joshua’s desk.
Luna raised her eyes and smiled at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, this is the result of my hard work. You can
have a look at it. I truly copied from the first word until the last word, but your good secretary threw

Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at the documents on his desk. He did not flip through it.
He changed into a more comfortable position and leaned back on his chair. He looked at Luna coldly. “
Besides this, is there nothing else you’d like to say to me?“
“None.“ Luna shook her head calmly.
After a while, she smiled. “If I must say something…“
She raised her eyes and looked at Joshua. Her eyes were burning passionately. “What would you like
to hear, Mr. Lynch? I can satisfy you whether in bed or out of bed.“
Joshua furrowed his brows tightly.
After a while, he smiled. “Am I hallucinating? You’ve been deliberately saying things like that to me
after that night. Do you want to experience that night over again?“
Luna shook her head. “I don’t think once is enough for me, Mr. Lynch. I find one of your previous
suggestions quite good. Why don’t you keep me? “
Joshua swept a cold glance at Luna. “I have a wife.“ “Are you talking about your ex-wife, Luna
Gibson?“ “She’s not my ex-wife—we never had a divorce.“
“But she still won’t come back.”
“How do you know she’s not coming back?”
Luna smiled. “Everyone told you already. If she wanted to come back, she would’ve long returned. If
she doesn’t want to, it doesn’t matter how long you wait for her. Unless…”
Luna’s eyes moved a little. “Unless you make good with me and be loving to me. Perhaps she might
see this and come back faster due to jealousy.”
Then, Luna smiled mischievously. “What do you think of this suggestion, Mr. Lynch?”
