“The butler who messed up the guest list was already punished. The only reason I’m here is to give Ms. Luna a proper welcome here at Sea City.“ Gavin’s expression made Luna feel uncomfortable.
There were two rows of seats inside the RV. Joshua and Alice were seated on one side, while Gavin occupied the other row of seats. Luna contemplated for a moment before she finally sat in the same row as Gavin.
Feeling uneasy, Luna deliberately chose the seat furthest from him, but Gavin was oblivious to this and instead approached her. “Ms. Luna, I heard you’re one of the most gifted designers in the field of jewelry design. Is that so?“
The scent wafting off of Gavin made Luna a little unsettled. She immediately shifted an inch over to get away from him, but Gavin scooched over as well. Finally, Luna had no choice but to set down her documents on the seat between them to act as a physical barrier.
Gavin frowned and tried to pick the documents up.
“Stop, “ warned Joshua just as Gavin was about to remove the documents from the seat. Joshua glanced at him, then slowly closed his eyes. “You’re not allowed to touch any paperwork that belongs to Lynch Group.“
Gavin’s hand hovered in midair for a moment. Then, he drew his hand back somewhat sheepishly and said, ”I apologize for that, Mr. Lynch.”
Joshua shot him a glance and removed himself from Alice’s grasp. He stood up and slowly walked over until he stood in front of Luna. ”Get up.”
Luna furrowed her brows. She did not understand what Joshua wanted to do, but she stood up anyway.
Joshua gracefully lowered himself into Luna’s seat and pointed at his original spot next to Alice. ”You sit there.”
Luna suddenly realized that Joshua was trying to help her. Although she did not fancy the idea of sitting next to Alice, it was still better than being next to that creep, so she let out an exhale, picked up the documents, and plopped down next to Alice.
