Luna glared at Joshua. “Does Mr. Lynch agree that my not apologizing will affect the business relations between Lynch Group and Walter Group?“
Even though the Walter Group did send Gavin over, he was just an ordinary employee! If the Walter Group was willing to give up on this collaboration because of him, this opportunity was not worth the time and effort at all!
Perhaps Alice did not understand that, but Joshua certainly did. However, he still stared at her and waited for her next move. It was blatant he wanted her to apologize.
“I’m here for an on-site investigation, not to stir up trouble.“ Joshua glanced at Luna, then at Alice. “ Apologize to him now.“
Alice was overcome with glee at his words. She linked arms with Joshua and stared at Luna smugly. “ Come on now, Ms. Luna. Joshua has asked you twice. Aren’t you going to do as he says? I know you two are close, but he’s still your boss and the CEO of Lynch Group! Why are you still hesitating? You’re not as good an employee as you think you are—“
“Alice, “ Joshua interjected before she could finish her sentence. He frowned and removed her arm from his. “I wanted you to apologize to Luna and Gavin.“
Alice froze and gaped at Joshua, unable to believe what she heard. “Me? Apologize?“
Joshua shot her a glance. “Yes. You bumped into Luna and caused this whole misunderstanding. Gavin wasn’t wrong for trying to help her, but neither is Luna. She’s a woman and thought he was being handsy, so she stood up for herself. She’s not wrong either.”
Alice’s face lost its color , and she could only hear a faint buzzing in her head. She stared blankly at Joshua and muttered, ”Does that mean…it’s my fault?”
