Lucas sighed.
When 9am rolled around, Luna had already finished looking over the materials for the meeting.
“Shannon, notify everyone that we’re having a department meeting soon. I want to explain everything
I’ve gathered in Sea City.“
Shannon nodded in response. However, just as she was about to leave Luna’s office, she paused and
peered at Luna. “Director Luna, are you sure you don’t want to take a break?“
Everyone could tell that Luna was not feeling well. Her face was as pale as the wall behind her.
Luna curled her lips into a smile. “Work is more important.“
Shannon frowned and gave her a peculiar look. She knew workaholics existed, but Luna was on a
whole new level.
Shannon walked out of Luna’s office, but after a moment, she decided that something was wrong and

Luna shook her head. “No need.“ The scent of coffee always made her feel like throwing up whenever
she was exhausted.
Shannon sighed and left, but not before she closed the door behind her.
However, a few minutes later, Luna’s door was pushed open again. Luna, thinking it was Shannon
again, did not even lift her head. “Shannon, if you have so much spare time on your hands, you should
focus it on work instead of asking me questions every three seconds. Have you notified everyone of the
meeting?“
There was no response.
Luna furrowed her brows in confusion and lifted her head.
To her surprise, it was Joshua who stood at her door. He had one hand tucked in his pocket, and the
other was holding a paper bag of food. He curled his lips into a smirk and asked, “Did you want me to
help you notify everyone of the meeting?“
Luna frowned and lowered her head again to focus on her work. “Mr. Lynch, are you here to do a spot
check and make sure I’m not slacking off? Don’t worry; I’ve been doing work since the moment I
stepped foot into the office. You’re not paying me in vain.“
With a frown, Joshua took in her thin frame and the weary look on her face. He strode over and set the
food down on her desk. “I apologize for the way I behaved this morning, but Luna, can you just tell me
why you spent the whole night up instead of getting rest? Were you not aware that you had work the
next day?“
Luna’s hand froze right in the middle of writing a sentence. It was ironic that Joshua would ask her that
question when he was the reason she did not manage to get any sleep. Not only did he refuse to admit
what had happened, but he even blamed her for being tired?
That made Luna a little disgusted. He knew full well that he was the reason she had stayed up all night,

How could she tell him the truth, lest he took it the wrong way and think she blamed him?
Luna closed her eyes and let out a sigh, trying to suppress her emotions. She closed the file in her
hand and replied, “I wouldn’t mind if it was anyone else who asked me this, but you…“ She shot him a
cold glance and sneered, “You have no right.“
With that, she picked up the file and sauntered right out of her office.
Joshua watched her retreating figure and could not help but narrow his eyes. That woman was
extremely stubborn.
He sighed and looked at the untouched food on the desk. He had bought Luna some breakfast out of
kindness, but she did not even give it a second glance. Joshua suddenly felt a little irritated by this.
He felt as though he was the one being ignored instead.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a loud thud coming from outside the office. Shannon’s voice
rang out almost immediately, “Director Luna!
Director Luna has fainted! “
