Wesley rolled his eyes. “Mr. Lynch claims that his ex- wife isn’t dead and that he’s still waiting for her to
return, but it’s been so many years now. I think it’s safe to say that she isn’t coming back anymore.“
He continued, “If in a couple more years Mr. Lynch gets tired of waiting for her and wants to remarry,
Courtney will be his first choice for sure! “
Luna’s lips twisted into a smile and said nothing in response. She could not understand why Wesley
was so confident in his prediction, yet at the same time, it was not too far-fetched either.
Even if Joshua changed his mind and wanted to marry someone who looked like the past Luna, it was
none of her business anymore. The only thing she had in mind was to get pregnant and give birth to
Joshua’s child so she could cure Nigel.
While Luna was deep in thought, the elevator arrived on the 18th floor.
Wesley cleared his throat and led Luna into the department. “Hello, everyone, I’d like to introduce you
to a new member of our company, “ he announced.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“This is Luna. Our CEO, Mr. Lynch, hired her to be a design intern and assistant. If there’s anything you
need, feel free to ask her for help! “ Wesley patted Luna’s shoulder gently. “Please get to know your
colleagues.“
With that, he turned around and walked out, leaving Luna to fend for herself.
Shannon McCartney, the department head, gave Luna a dismissive glance and led her to an empty
desk. “You can sit here, “ she ordered, tossing a stack of documents onto the desk that sent a cloud of
dust flying through the air.
“These are the proposals that the CEO sent back to u s for amendments. I want you to run up to his
office and resubmit them to him.“ She gave Luna a smirk before leaving. “Don’t mess this up.“
There was a girl sitting next to Luna’s desk, who appeared to be a university student. She nudged her
glasses and whispered to her, “Luna, please be careful. This proposal has been sent back to us five
times now, and every single person who submitted it ended up getting scolded by the CEO. Shannon
sent you because she’s trying to make things difficult for you.“
Luna gave her a small smile. “Do you happen to have some tissue?“
The girl paused and handed her a packet of tissue papers.
“Thank you.“ Luna wiped the desk clean. Instead of heading up to resubmit the proposal, however, she
sat down in her chair. After finding a comfortable position, she opened the file to take a look.
After skimming through a few pages, Luna could not help but frown. The work was so bad that even if
Joshua had nothing against her, she would still get into trouble because of this.
Luna immediately borrowed a pen and paper from a nearby colleague and scribbled some stuff on the
piece of paper. Then, she got up as she held the file in her hand. “Where’s the CEO’s office?“
The girl at the desk next to her gave a pause before answering, “It’s…on the top floor.“
“Thank you.“ Luna let out a sigh before turning around to leave.
“What did she write, Bonnie?“ another colleague asked the university student next to Luna’s desk.
Bonnie pursed her lips. “I’m not sure, but…she seems good.“
However, if Luna truly was talented, why did she accept the position of an intern? Why did she let
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShannon bully her like that? Bonnie was a little perplexed.
With the proposal in hand, Luna soon reached the top floor of the building. When she arrived, she
caught a glimpse of Courtney inside Joshua’s office.
Through the glass windows, Luna saw Joshua sitting in his chair as he read some documents while
Courtney stood next to him, offering him a cup of coffee.
From afar, the two did not look like a boss and an assistant. In fact, they looked like a married couple.
Luna’s heart leaped into her throat at the sight. It was not that she felt something was going on
between Joshua and Courtney, but this scene reminded her so much of herself.
Many, many years ago, she had dreamed of doing the exact same thing, of becoming a power couple
that everyone looked up to. However, Joshua never gave her the chance to do so.
Yet, six years later, he allowed another woman to get close to him. A woman that resembled the old
Luna so much that it was uncanny.
Maybe, the problem was not with Luna’s appearance at all. Joshua did not hate her looks —he hated
her person.
