Joshua fell silent when he heard Luna’s question.
After a long while, he chuckled and said, “I don’t think you’re that desperate.“
Luna snorted in indignation. “Well, since you don’t believe that I ‘m having sexual relations with Zach and Yuri, why did you fire them?“
“You think I fired them?“ Joshua lowered his head to glance at the time. “We can still make it if we leave now. Why don’t I bring you along to find them?“
Luna frowned. “Why do we need to find them?“
“You’ll know soon enough.“ Joshua did not feel like explaining things to her over the phone. “Where are you? Lucas and I will come to pick you up.“
Luna paused for a moment, then finally gave him the address of the restaurant she was at.
She hung up the phone, let out a sigh, then returned to the booth.
The atmosphere in the room was pin-drop silent. Samson sat on the chair, staring at the rest of them sternly.
Irene sat in a corner, so nervous that she did not dare speak, while Arianna and Zayne kept mum.
When Luna entered the room, Samson immediately stood up and handed a phone to Luna. “This is Irene’s phone. There’s a recording and some photos she took just now. I went with her to look for you,
but I didn’t even realize how she managed to take these without me noticing it.”
Luna furrowed her brows and took the phone from him. He was right; there were a few photos of her and Celeste that were clearly taken from a discreet angle, as well as a recording of them fighting.
Luna played the audio for a while, then finally deleted everything. She walked over to Irene and handed the phone back to her. ”I understand that you’re desperate to fit in with the rest of the employees, but you shouldn’t have done this by
gossiping and spreading rumors about your superior.
”Please remove yourself from the group chats because, from today onward, you’re no longer one of Lynch Group’s employees.”
With that, Luna turned around and left the room.
”Serves you right! ” Samson rolled his eyes at Irene, then grabbed his jacket and chased after Luna.
