Luna frowned and met Joshua’s gaze. “What do you think, Mr. Lynch?“
Joshua stared at Luna’s face and recalled what Jude had said to him earlier this afternoon…
“Anything can happen, but I do hope that beautiful employee of yours isn’t Hailey Walter. Otherwise, it’d be disgusting to know that you slept with the woman you hate the most, multiple times.“
Joshua continued to stare at Luna stiffly. Eight years ago was indeed the first time Hailey ever met Luna Gibson.
Theo seemed to detect the hostility in Joshua’s eyes and immediately interjected, “Aren’t you here to talk business with my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch? Why don’t we discuss that now? We have plenty of time to catch up in the future.“
Alice feared Luna would accidentally say something to expose her, so she hastily agreed with Theo. “He’s right. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are here today to talk business. Please, don’t let our chatter interfere with your work progress! “
Joshua narrowed his eyes and glanced at Luna one more time before he finally turned around to talk to Nathan. After a while, they started to discuss the ore extraction process as well as negotiate prices. Alice did not understand anything, Theo did not want to, and Luna refused to have anything to do with Joshua.
Therefore, the six people within the room got split
into two distinctive groups: three discussing business, while the other three dug into their meal.
Seeing that Joshua was focused on his conversation, Alice smiled and pretended to adjust Luna’s shirt button, but she whispered underneath her breath threateningly, ”Watch what you speak! If you dare to expose me, I ‘ll make you and your two kids pay for this!”
