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.“
“Hmm.“ Joshua paused for a while. Just when Alice was about to hang up the call, he called after her, “ 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.
