Luna sighed and said, “I remember you gave me the freedom to hire two assistants to work for me, Mr.
Lynch. Arianna is one of them. As for the other one, I’ve decided that I want to hire Theo.“
Joshua immediately frowned upon hearing. “No. I won’t allow it.“
Luna already knew that Joshua would reject her suggestion. She chuckled and lifted her head to stare
straight at him. “You promised me that I would have full authority over the candidate selection and that no
one would be able to interfere with my decision.“
Joshua squinted at her.
She was right. When he assigned this project over to Luna at the time, he had given her plenty of
authority. One of them was that she had the freedom to choose and hire two assistants to help her.
Joshua narrowed his eyes somewhat sinisterly. “ Luna, I gave you the authority to do so, but that doesn’t
mean you can bring private relations into your work.“
Luna chuckled, “What are you talking about, Mr. Lynch? How am I bringing my private life into work?“
She unbuttoned her shirt collar and showed Joshua her bandaged right shoulder. “Mr. Lynch, do you
remember how I got this injury? Your father-in- law stabbed me with a cutting knife right in the middle of
my right shoulder. Because of my injury, I can’t move my right arm as freely anymore, much less hold a
pencil like the way I used to.
”Therefore, I’ve decided to hire Theo to help me so that even though I can’ t sketch anymore , my ideas
and designs can still be brought to life.” Luna shot Joshua a contemptuous glance and said, ”I wanted to
hire him so that the project can be completed on time instead of being delayed due to my injury. Why do
you think otherwise?”
”She’s right.” Theo laughed and sat down in front of the easel. Then, he picked up Luna’s pencil and
started to sketch on the paper before him slowly. ”I admit that I ‘in not a world -famous artist. However, I
still have my standards, and if it wasn’t for Luna, I don’t think Lynch Group would have been able to hire
me in a million years.”
Joshua could not help but narrow his eyes into angry slits when he heard this. He was furious at this
sudden turn of events, but Luna’s reason for hiring Theo was perfectly reasonable and justified. Joshua
could not vent his anger at all!
He clenched his fists but did not reply. Finally, after a long while, he curled his lips into a smile and said, ”
Mr. Allen is right. If it weren’t for Luna, Lynch Group would not have been able to hire such a talented
artist as yourself.”
With that, Joshua picked up the phone and barked to the person on the other line, ”Connect me to the
human resources department and ask them to process Theo Allen’s employment contract. Then, instruct
the public relations department to throw a welcome party for Mr. Allen.”
Luna gritted her teeth in anger. ”What are you trying to do, Mr. Lynch?”
Theo’s achievements and capabilities far surpassed that of everyone in Lynch Group. Therefore, Luna
felt it was extremely unfair for him to be appointed as a lowly assistant in the design department.
However, Theo was very insistent on his intention to help her with her work. Besides, she could not work
anyway due to her injury, so Luna had no choice but to relent.
Joshua smirked. “I’m throwing a party for Mr. Allen to show him my respect.“
Not only did Joshua draw up a contract of employment for Theo, but now, he also wanted to host a
welcome party for him?
Luna knew this was Joshua’s way of humiliating and degrading Theo.
He was a world-renowned artist, after all. If the rest of the employees found out that Theo was working in
Lynch Group as an assistant, it would affect his reputation and might even cause his artwork to lose its
value over time!
As soon as she thought of this, Luna clenched her fists and lowered her voice. “Theo, you should leave
now. I can draw my sketches on my own! “
Theo paused. “I won’t go.“ A split second later, he strode over and pulled Luna into his embrace. Then,
he shot Joshua a threatening look and said, “Since Mr. Lynch wants to throw me a welcome party, I
appreciate your effort. I want everyone to know that Luna is my girlfriend and that I’m willing to do
anything for her.”
