Luna knew Gavin said that to irk her. Although she was aware of his intentions, she could not help but
still feel somewhat dejected at it.
He was right. Even though Joshua had forced Alice to apologize, that did not change anything. She was
still the most important person to him.
Luna’s chest tightened at the thought, but she merely let out a deep sigh and tried to push it out of her
head.
Clutching the documents in her hands, Luna strode past Gavin and made her way toward the factory.
She could hear Gavin let out a snort before he caught up to her quickly. ”Ms. Luna, I hear you’re still
single. Don’t you feel a little envious when you see Mr. and Mrs. Lynch being so intimate with each
other? Don’t worry, though. As long as you keep your eyes peeled, I’m sure you’ll find love soon enough.
Maybe you’ve already found it without even realizing! ”
Luna did not even give him a second glance. She picked up her speed and hoped Gavin would give up
chasing after her, but he followed closely behind. He chattered on and on, oblivious to the fact that Luna
actively tried to avoid him.
Luna grew annoyed at that, but she did not want to make another scene. She knew that Gavin did it on
purpose. Even if she snapped at him, Joshua would not help her for a second time. Therefore, Luna
decided that the best course of action was to ignore Gavin as if he did not exist.
By the time they caught up to Joshua and Alice, they were already inside the workshop, observing the
manufacturing process. Luna immediately got to work. She engaged the supervisor in conversation as
she took notes of the materials and supplies the factory could offer them.
Whenever Luna was focused on work, she would become so immersed that nothing could get through to
her. As usual, she was busy listening to the supervisor’s explanations, so much so that she did not notice
the look of admiration on Joshua’s face, as well as the seething resentment in Alice’s eyes.
She also did not notice the piece of jade ore that zipped toward her nor the cries of warning from the
workers.
“Heads up! “
Just as the jade ore was about to hit her, Joshua— who kept watch from afar—lunged forward and
shoved her out of harm’s way.
The ore struck Joshua’s elbow with a loud thud.
“Joshua! “ Alice immediately rushed forward and grabbed Joshua’s arm. “Are you okay?“
Joshua frowned and glared at Luna. “Are you dumb? Didn’t you hear them shouting? “ He was scolding
her, but there was a hint of concern in his voice.
As she got abruptly shoved, Luna lifted her head and took in the sight before her, slightly stunned. She
caught sight of the jade ore on the ground, then glanced at Joshua, who was clutching his arm. She
froze momentarily as she tried to piece together what had happened.
One of the workers sprinted over and picked the ore up from the ground. He apologized profusely, “I’m
so sorry! This piece of rock fell out when we were unloading the entire pile just now. Again, I’m so sorry,
Sir!”
Alice clenched her teeth. “What use is your apology? My husband is injured! ” She glowered at Luna,
then shifted her gaze onto the worker. “If the rock hit someone else, it wouldn’t even matter so much, but
this is my husband we’re talking about! His arm is worth more than anyone else’s! How should we settle
this?”
The worker frowned at her with the ore still in his hands. He glanced at Luna and replied, “Well, the rock
was originally headed toward this lady, but your husband got in the way… Although it’s partly our fault,
you shouldn’t blame us entirely…”
Alice’s face turned pale.
