Luna gasped. “None! “ She denied it instantly, afraid that Joshua would find out about her relationship with Neil.
Joshua said nothing about it as he merely looked at her meaningfully, to which Luna grew more anxious by the second.
After a while, she lifted her head. “I ‘m not related to him —honest. I just…“ Luna took a deep breath and looked at Lucas who was standing next to Joshua.
“It’s because of Mr. Bean. He said that he wanted to find out who drugged you. He said that if it wasn’t me, it’d be the other little boy outside.“
At the mention of Neil, Luna pretended to be estranged from him. “I’m guessing that the little boy was just playing a prank on you, but he won’t be able to take it if you get angry. He’s just a young boy, after all.“
“So you took it upon yourself and admitted that you drugged me?“
“Mmh.“
“Ah.“ Joshua raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Who knew that Ms. Luna would be such a caring person to an unknown child?“
Luna nodded and smiled lightly. “Yes, that’s my biggest flaw. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tried so hard to be your maid in Blue Bay Villa and almost got myself molested by you, right?“ Luna deliberately emphasized the word ‘molested’.
Lucas, by the side, was suddenly bewildered. He looked at Luna in shock before he turned to Joshua.
Joshua…actually molested Luna? This was unheard of! All those years working with him, Joshua was so chaste that he never even once showed an ounce of intimacy with his fiancée Aura, yet he molested Luna?
Also, from Joshua’s reaction, it did not look like Luna was lying. Lucas was stumped. Did Luna not have ill intentions against Joshua? Why was Joshua the one that molested her instead?
Perhaps Lucas’ shock was too obvious that Joshua furrowed his brow and ordered, “Please leave.“
“Yes, I ’11 leave at once! “ Lucas immediately turned and left.
Before he closed the door, Lucas turned back and threw one last glance at Luna. “Good luck! “
Luna and Josua were speechless. What on earth was that for? Once Lucas left, the atmosphere in the room grew rather amorous.
Luna cleared her throat. “Mr. Lynch, is there anything else? If there is nothing, please take a good rest. I’ll take my leave…“
“I know you have your intentions of getting close to me.“ Joshua gazed at her deeply. “I won’t force you if you don’t want to tell me.“
His voice was low and aloof. “There are many who want to get close to me with a purpose. You’re the only one who succeeded. No matter what you do or what your plans are, remember that Nellie and Luna Gibson are my bottom line. As long as you don’t place Nellie in any danger or slander Luna Gibson, I’ll allow you to stay.“
He could just fire her and find another new servant for Nellie, but Nellie might not like the new servant and needed time to get to know another person all over again.
At that moment, although Luna had her intentions, after the Ferris Wheel incident at the amusement park, Joshua was sure Luna would not harm Nellie.
Luna was even more serious and caring about Nellie than him, her biological father.
This was the reason why he allowed Luna to stay.
Luna smiled. “Mr. Lynch, is your bottom line just the two of them?“
Joshua nodded, and Luna smiled mockingly. “How about your fiancée, Ms. Gibson?“
Joshua did not expect that Luna would mention Aura. He was stunned for a while, then he smiled. “You seem to be quite hostile toward her.“ “Of course, and she’s also hostile to me.“
