Abigail took a deep breath and turned to glare at Josh. "I told you, I'm not reluctant to part with him!"
She argued vehemently, her face turning red.
Josh pursed his lips and smiled. "Okay, we understand. Why are you so worked up?"
Abigail felt that Josh, influenced by Luna, had become a bit mischievous. This guy used to be more straightforward.
"Have you learned these tricks from Luna? You used to be so well-mannered, and now you're mocking people?" Abigail glanced at him.
Josh hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Luna, lowering his eyes without saying a word.
When he was with Luna, she often made flirtatious remarks, and he gradually learned some of that.
"Sean asked you to come, so you came?" Abigail walked into the elevator and asked Luna and Josh.
"Not exactly. It's been a while since we've been here. We came to help you with some work," Luna answered somewhat sheepishly.
Abigail chuckled. "I can handle it even if you don't come. I'm used to it anyway."
"Oh, don't say that. I feel bad now." Luna held Abigail's arm and playfully leaned on her.
"It's my fault for always relying on her," Josh said, feeling guilty as well.
They were in a relationship, and Abigail suffered because of it.
"It's not your fault. She used to work for me, and now that she's in a relationship, I have to do it for her. Have you two discussed when you're going to get married?" Abigail said.
Josh remained silent, just observing Luna's reaction.
Luna felt that dragging Josh along was indeed not good. Moreover, now that Abigail was a part of the Pearsons, and Josh was her brother, she should say something on his behalf.
"Well, we'll consider it soon," she stammered.
"If you don't want to get married, just say so. Don't be so hesitant," Abigail said frankly.
"It's not that I don't want to. I just haven't thought it through. And his grandfather just passed away, so it's not a good time to consider marriage, right?" Luna said, sneakily looking at Josh.
Josh had a look of tranquility as if he had become accustomed to Luna's reasoning.
"If you've thought about it, then seriously consider it. After all, even if you really want to get married, it will probably take a year to prepare," Abigail squeezed Luna's hand and whispered.
She said this out of consideration for Luna, not to pressure her into marriage.
She just felt that since the two of them were already in a serious relationship, they should start considering it. Josh had marriage on his mind, and Luna's indecisiveness was not good for their relationship.
She found herself in the middle of it, thinking that no matter what, Josh probably wouldn't get angry. However, relationships couldn't withstand such turmoil.
"Okay." Luna always felt that Abigail's words might have a different meaning, so she could only agree for now.
