Joshua smiled faintly, lowering his eyes as he fiddled with his coffee mug. ”Initially, the way I wanted you to repay my kindness was by continuing to helm the project for next season’s jewelry designs.
Unexpectedly… you got the wrong idea, Ms. Luna. ”
He raised his head and looked at her, seeming to be in a good mood. ”Then it is decided. I’ll help you persuade Luke, and you’ll help me… ”
Luna was so embarrassed she wanted to bury her head in the ground and die, she was worried he would really say he wanted her to give birth to his child, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to interrupt him. ”I’ll help you with the jewelry projects for the next season.”
Luna sat in her spot and watched his retreating back, her entire body stiff. She raised a hand and patted her cheek, muscles frozen from prolonged smiling. How could she accidentally say such a thing? Maybe her mind had been quite scattered recently. Since she could not approach Joshua, could not sleep with him, even in her dreams she dreamt about getting pregnant. That’s why she let the words slip out of her accidentally.
After Joshua left, Luna sat in the coffee shop and finished her coffee before paying the bill and left.
The moment she walked out of the exit, she immediately noticed there was a man standing on the street opposite the coffee shop. That man was wearing jeans and a black jacket, his long hair blown into a mess by the wind, looking dirty and disheveled.
He was looking in her direction. When she looked toward him, their eyes met. When they looked at each other, the man smiled creepily, pulling down the jacket that covered his face, and that terrible, monster-like face was exposed.
Luna paused violently. It was not anyone else but the man that was captured by Joshua’s subordinates for trying to assassinate her at night, Jason Lane.
Jason smiled in Luna’s direction, then made a slashing motion across his neck, and turned to leave.
Luna’s brows furrowed tightly together.
