Luna’s face was the picture of warmth and grace. A gentle smile curved her lips as she cast a fleeting glance at the man lost in thought at his desk. “I’m truly happy for Oriana,” she said softly, her voice strained just enough to sound sincere. “It’s wonderful that she’s found a husband she can trust with her life.”

As expected, the moment that word–husband–fell from her lips, Grant’s expression darkened. His handsome features twisted in barely contained anger, his eyes shadowed with emotion.

Luna’s smile didn’t falter, but inside, her teeth ground together.

Couldn’t he let her go?

Was he angry because Oriana left him–or because she moved on so easily?

Whatever the reason, Luna would never allow it. She would never permit Grant to keep even the faintest trace of feeling for Oriana.

He–his thoughts, his heart, his entire being–belonged to her. To Luna.

“Luna, you’re… you’re so, so, so amazing. Having a friend like you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Willow threw her arms around her in an enthusiastic hug. Her clothes were rumpled and her skin sticky with sweat from their earlier outing.

Luna’s smile stiffened for a heartbeat, but she still raised her arms and returned the embrace with gentle grace.

After a few more pleasantries–and a subtle round of flattery–she finally managed to send Willow off. Waving goodbye with her usual serene smile, Luna turned away. The instant her back was to the door, her expression went cold.

She walked to the front desk, her tone clipped and calm. “Could I get some disinfectant wipes?” When they handed them over, she took them wordlessly and began to wipe her hands with slow, precise movements..

Disgusting.

If she didn’t need someone close to Kai, she wouldn’t even look at a foolish fan like Willow- much less touch her.

Once she was finally satisfied her hands were clean, Luna stepped into the elevator.

As the doors closed and the car began to rise, her phone buzzed. It was a call from Bramwell.

Ever since Luna had confidently promised that she could persuade Grant to approve the investment, Bramwell’s attitude toward her had softened noticeably. In the past few days, he’d been all smiles–warm, attentive, even showing what seemed like fatherly affection.

In the past few days, he’d been all smiles–warm, attentive, even showing what seemed like fatherly affection. Luna, of course, knew exactly why. Her lips curved into a cold smile as she answered the call.

“Dad.”

In the mirrored surface of the elevator doors, her reflection smiled back–calm, composed, and utterly fake.

“When are you coming home for the New Year, sweetheart?” Bramwell’s tone was gentle, almost doting. “I can come pick you up myself.”

“Dad, I’ll have to stay with Grant,” Luna replied smoothly. “His studio’s rushing a new project, and Mr. Flint also assigned me a paper to finish. I probably won’t be able to come home this year.”

“Oh, I see. Well, young people should focus on their careers. I support you completely.”

He asked a few more perfunctory questions about her health and work before his real concern slipped out, casual on the surface but heavy underneath. “By the way, has Grant said anything about the investment? You mentioned you were waiting for the right moment. We can’t afford to let this opportunity slip–it’s tens of millions, after all. It would be a shame to leave that money untouched.”

Until the deal was secured, Bramwell could never truly relax.

He feared that Grant might back out at any moment, taking their chance–and his profits- with him.

“It’s almost finalized,” Luna replied evenly. “Grant has already presented the new project proposal to the team. We’ve been discussing the details in meetings all week, and I’ve been monitoring everything closely. Once the paperwork’s complete, I’ll let you know immediately, Dad.”

Bramwell let out a deep sigh of relief. “Luna, you’re the only one I can count on!”

“Don’t worry, Dad,” she said softly, her tone gentle but her eyes cold. “I will always look after

“That’s good to hear,” Bramwell said, his voice brightening. “Once the investment goes through, find the right moment to talk to Grant. You’ve been seeing each other for a while–it’s time to make things official.”

“Dad,” Luna replied mildly, “I only just started graduate school.”

At the mention of that topic, Luna’s expression softened for the first time. A genuine smile curved her lips–tinged with just a hint of youthful shyness.

Hearing her playful tone, Bramwell chuckled warmly on the other end of the line. “Ah, girls do grow up fast. You’ve been spending quite a bit of time with Grant lately–how could I not notice your intentions? Grant’s a capable man, and I approve of him. Even if you’re both busy with your work, at least consider getting engaged. A man like him–talented, successful–will always attract attention. If you wait too long, you might lose him. Look at Oriana’s situation- take that as a lesson. Secure your place early, before it’s too late.”

Every word carried weight—more command than advice.

As the elevator doors slid open, Luna stepped out. Her gaze lifted to the frosted glass door ahead, the delicate letters spelling President’s Office. A glint of determination flickered in her

eyes.

“Don’t worry, Dad,” she said quietly, her voice steady. “I won’t make the same mistake Oriana did.”
