Joshua’s low voice was aloof yet determined.
Alice gently chuckled. “Joshua, if Theo isn’t her boyfriend, why did she not deny it vehemently when
Theo claimed he was her boyfriend?“
Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at her. “Why did Luna not refuse you vehemently when you
made her drink? Did she want to drink the alcohol?“
Alice’s face turned a little pale. She wanted to say something else, but Joshua interrupted her.
He took a deep breath. “No matter what, I was the one who took Luna out on this business trip. She got
drunk because of me. If anything is to happen to her tonight, I can’t shed myself of the responsibility.“
Then, Joshua swept Lucas a cold glance. “What are you still standing here for? Go and search! “
Lucas hesitated for a while before he left quickly. Alice inwardly gritted her teeth.
“Joshua, you treat your staff so well…“
“Not good enough.“ Joshua’s voice was cold. “If I did, she wouldn’t have to drink on my behalf, ending

He shot Alice a flat stare. “I hope this incident tonight will be the last time that it happens. You have to
remember that no matter what in the future, you can’t gang up with outsiders to coerce our staff to
drink.“
Alice nodded obediently. She buried her head in Joshua’s arms and rubbed against him affectionately.
“I know what I did was wrong. It won’t happen again…“
Joshua let out a sigh of relief. Then, he turned and went to the toilet.
Alice narrowed her eyes.
She texted Hailey, (Search the entire city for Luna. She’s drunk tonight. Do her a favor by getting a few
men to satisfy her.]
“She’s here! “
“Go, get them! “
That midnight, Luna was startled awake. The moment she opened her eyes, all she saw was the dark
skies and the moonlight.
At that moment, she was on Theo’s back, who was running for his life. There were footsteps following
closely behind, too.
She croaked, “Theo— “
“Stop talking.“ Theo’s breath was unsteady as he was running. “They’re looking for you.“
Luna was rather baffled. She furrowed her brows confusedly. “If Joshua’s men are looking for me, why
should we run away from them?“
She got drunk because of Joshua. She was a staff of Joshua’s. Perhaps Joshua was just looking for
her to make sure that she was safe?
“They brought a few escorts with them.“
Theo’s voice was filled with helplessness. “I don’t know what the hell is Joshua thinking, but they knew
that you were drunk, yet they still brought five or six escorts over looking for you. It’s all fishy to me.“
Luna’s brain blanked for a moment.

Five or six escorts.
She was an adult. Even if Theo did not explicitly say it out loud, she knew what they intended to do.
Joshua was trying to humiliate her that way while she was drunk!
A cold rage overwhelmed her. Her once intoxicated mind was instantly sobered.
Luna bit her lips. She reached out and grabbed Theo’s shoulders.
“Why don’t you put me down? I—I…can walk on my own.“
“It’s fine. We’re almost to the main road already. “ Theo took a deep breath. “I contacted my friends to
pick us up.“
However, Theo did not expect that the moment they reached the main road, a black BMW stopped
there, too.
Lucas got down from the car.
The footsteps behind them got closer. The group of people was almost catching up to them.
They were cornered from both directions.
Looking at Theo and Luna’s pale face, Lucas leaned against the car door. ”Why are you two running?”
he chided.
