Joshua rubbed the middle of his brows as a splitting headache tormented him.
He did not have any alcohol the night before, but he felt dizzy as if it was a hangover.
Alice panicked when Joshua said not a word to her. “ Joshua, are you still angry at me? I genuinely
know what I did wrong. Jealousy blinded me. I saw how Luna could work together with you at Lynch
Group, s o I became resentful and jealous. I’ve been reflecting after leaving with you last night, and I
was wrong. I shouldn’t have hired a PR company to further boost the news just because someone
broke the news. I already got them to stop around eight. You must’ve seen it too, but around ten,
someone posted the surveillance footage of that day anonymously. The video is making rounds now,
and more and more people are rebuking me. What should I do?“
Joshua furrowed his brows. “I’ll check on it.“
“Hmm.“ Alice sniffled a little as she croaked, “Let me know how it goes. If it’s Luna, I’ll be willing to
apologize to her in person.“

Where are Neil and Nellie?“
That took Alice by mild surprise.
“T—They should…should be at kindergarten?“
“Is that so?“
Joshua lifted his head and looked at the calendar on Luna’s coffee table. It clearly stated that it was a
Sunday.
Neil and Nellie’s kindergarten always had one day off per week on a Sunday so that the kids could be
closer to their parents.
Alice, as their parent, was already in Banyan City for almost a week, yet she knew nothing of that. It
was hard to imagine that this was a mother who said she loved her kids.
Joshua furrowed his brows. The scene of Luna leaning by the door and admonishing him last night
appeared in his mind.
“Don’t bother with the kids’ food today. Let Lily handle them.“
Alice, at the other end of the phone call, paused for a while. She instantly understood. The two rascals
must have ratted her out to Joshua.
They might be young, but they were smart!
Although Alice was rather dissatisfied, she still sounded gentle, “Why? Are they unhappy with their
mother? I’m just looking after them…“
Joshua wanted to say something else when the bedroom door in the distance opened.
He furrowed his brows and ended the topic. “Just let Lily handle it today. Leave it to her. We’ll talk more
when I get back.“
Joshua hung up the phone and looked in the direction of the bedroom.
Luna was still in her pajamas. She crossed her arms a t her chest. “You’re up. Why are you still not
leaving? Are you waiting for me to cook breakfast for you?“
The morning sun shone on her face and made Luna’s face seemingly glow.

Her face was as huge as a palm, yet those beautiful black eyes were filled with hatred toward him.
Joshua furrowed his brows. “Luna, don’t forget that I ‘m still your boss. Don’t ask me to leave like that.“
He hated when people do that. The night before, she kept provoking him, that was why he completely
lost it. He…
Luna rolled her eyes. “What? You think you can boss me around again just because you put your pants
on? Why didn’t you recall I’m your employee yesterday night when you were being inappropriate to
me? “
Joshua frowned.
The incident the night before.
The memory seemed so surreal to him.
Sure enough, if there was a first time, there would be a second time as well. The last time, he could
use the excuse that he was drunk, so he mistook her for Luna Gibson.
