(Please don’t be disappointed, Mrs. Allen. It’s not your fault. Luna’s just too good at manipulating people.
Don’t worry, though. Just focus on consoling Theo for now, and make sure he doesn’t keep in touch with
Luna anymore.]
At this point, Celeste was on her way back to her hotel. She glanced at Theo, whose hands were held
down by his father. (Mrs. Lynch, why do you think… Luna likes Theo?]
(Probably because of his wealth. She’s such a beautiful woman, so of course she’d seduce men with
money and power. It can’t possibly be love, can it?]
Celeste frowned and stared at Alice’s reply thoughtfully.
The candidates that Lucas had recruited for the position of Luna’s assistant were all very outstanding.
As soon as she arrived at her floor, she immediately interviewed all of them herself and finally settled on
three candidates that she felt had the most solid foundation.
Two of them were men, and one was a girl. Together with Arianna, they would be a perfect quadruple.
Luna spent the whole day showing them the ropes, describing their job scopes, as well as explaining the
company’s confidentiality policies to them.
When it was time to get off work, one of the male assistants named Samson Matthews glanced at Luna
with a smile. “Today is our first day of work. Aren’t you going to treat us to dinner, Director Luna? It’d be a
good idea for us to get to know each other since we’re going to be working very closely in the future.“
Luna nodded in good spirits. “Sure.“
Since Neil and Nellie had left for summer camp, she did not have much to do after work. It would indeed
be a good idea to have dinner with her new assistants to lighten her mood.
“Director Luna, “ Arianna piped in, glancing at Luna’s shoulder worriedly. “Your injury… Are you sure it’ll
be okay?“
Luna smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s just dinner. It’s not like I’ll be drawing anyway.“
The five of them left the building, got into Samson’s car, and headed toward a nearby restaurant.
They had a simple meal together, but it was not long until the new assistants clamored around Luna and
insisted that she had a drink.
Luna used her wound as an excuse to reject their offer. Then, she pretended that she needed to use the
bathroom and quickly fled the scene for some fresh air.
Luna was washing her face at a sink in the restaurant’s bathroom when she heard a woman’s voice from
outside the bathroom. It grew louder and louder and was accompanied by the clicking of high
heels. It seemed to be heading toward the bathroom.
“I thought that I’d end up with an outstanding designer as my daughter-in-law, but I was wrong! I never
knew she was such a promiscuous woman! I guess it’s true that beautiful women aren’t ever good. Theo
is too nalve! “
Luna frowned. She recognized this voice… It belonged to Theo’s mother, Celeste.
Luna felt her head start to throb. She never expected that her and Theo’s frantic announcement in front
of the hotel entrance would end up causing so much trouble.
However, since she and Theo had just announced their relationship only a day ago, Luna felt it was too
soon to break up with him. On the other hand, if she continued to date him…it would cause even more
trouble.
Luna sighed as she recalled what had happened this morning at the entrance of Lynch Group Tower.
Then, she slipped into one of the bathroom cubicles and sat down on the toilet bowl.
Luna heard Celeste enter the bathroom and walk toward the sinks, talking on her phone simultaneously.
“If it weren’t for Mrs. Lynch, I wouldn’t have known how shameless this woman was! Not only did she
seduce Mr. Lynch, but Mr. Lynch’s assistant and Lynch Group’s bodyguards as well! Yes, that’s right. The
two burly guards who stopped us from entering the building this morning were also her targets!
Even though she’s beautiful…she’s truly repulsive! She’s even dirtier and more disgusting than a toilet! “
