Luna’s eyes seemed to smile as she spoke. Her tone was relaxed, too.
However, only she would know how much in despair she was and how cold her heart was.
Even if she knew Joshua’s plans and arrangements, she could not confront Joshua directly. Nigel still waited for her to rescue him.
She could not let her momentary emotions spoil her entire plan!
With that in mind, Luna could only use this way of pretending to be relaxed to get closer to Joshua. She brushed the incident off casually.
After all, she had slept with him—everyone witnessed it downstairs. She guessed that Joshua could not possibly send her to those escorts anymore.
However, Luna did not expect that Joshua would continue to play dumb with her.
Joshua’s eyes narrowed a little. He looked at her with a rather complicated gaze. “What are you talking about?“
Luna was stunned. She looked at Joshua, and she suddenly felt that pretending to be relaxed made it seem quite comical.
It turned out that when she tried her best to find a way for Joshua to excuse his actions, he chose to play dumb instead.
Indeed, playing dumb was a much better way than her crass tactics.
“Just forget about it.“ She yawned. “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t sleep well last night. Can I continue sleeping for a little while?“
Joshua casually put out the cigarette in between his fingers. “Here? In Gwen and Ben Zeller’s house?“
He calmly swept Luna a gaze. “Since when were you so friendly with them?“
When he heard that Luna was in their house that morning, he was still worried that Gwen and Ben might do something inappropriate to Luna.
However, not only did she appear in front of him in one piece, but she also decided to continue staying in Gwen’s house after vigorous sex.
Her casual, lazy attitude was as if she and Gwen were long-time good friends.
Luna closed her eyes.
“It’s because of Theo. Theo and Ben are friends. I have to respect them, so we shook on it and became friends.“
“That simple?“
