The atmosphere in the booth dropped a few degrees.
Joshua narrowed his eyes. His eyes were filled with coldness.
“Do you have to speak so harshly?“
Luna smiled.
“How do you want me to speak then, Mr. Lynch? I initially rejected Fiona entering my team, but you
forced it upon me with your powers, so I had to accommodate her into my team. I aim to win the
competition, so besides letting Ms. Blake run errands and do simple tasks, what else can I do?“
Joshua was silent upon Luna’s words. It was not that he never thought about those problems before.
However, he felt that with Luna’s ability, taking on Fiona would not have any problem. He never expected
that Fiona would not be able to do a simple basic task well.
Joshua had also expressed his concerns for Fiona’s work, but every time he asked her, she would smile
and say that all was fine and she was very happy working.
Joshua never expected that Fiona was in such a situation.
At that thought, Joshua sighed.
“It’s my mistake, then, but now isn’t the time to point fingers.“
Joshua leaned back and furrowed his brows, looking at Luna.
“President Calvin came to me. He said that there is still an opportunity to turn this matter around. If he
had secretly come to know about this incident, he could turn a blind eye. However, this incident came to
light during the meeting. Also, the voice of the people on the internet cursing you is quite loud.
“If you still want the Lynch Group to continue participating in the competition…“
Joshua took a deep breath.
“It’s possible, except that you have to withdraw from the competition.“
The atmosphere in the booth sunk lower.
Luna bit her lip. She held her cup of fruit tea so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
“I know this may be a difficult request for you.“
Joshua was a little heartbroken, looking at Luna’s disappointed yet stoic look.
If there were another way of resolving this issue, he would not want her to be so disappointed.
Alas…
The videos on the internet could not be deleted, inexplicably.
On top of that, all of the participating teams knew about the problems in Luna’s team.
Other than getting Luna to withdraw from the competition, there was no other better way.
“Don’t worry. Even if you withdraw from the competition, the results of the Lynch Group’s team will still be
considered in our agreement.“
Luna shut her eyes and chuckled bitterly.
“Then, may I ask if I were to withdraw myself from the competition, who will be the new person in
charge?“
Joshua was silent for a long while before calmly saying, “Fiona Blake.“
Luna closed her eyes and smiled bitterly.
This was Fiona’s true intention: to kick her off from her team two days before the competition and replace
her.
By then, if they were to win, everyone would say that this was Fiona’s team and not Luna’s team.
In the end, the person who would receive the honor and credit would be Fiona, too. After such a huge
merry-go -round, in the end, it was all because of getting the honors for winning the competition. Was
that it?
Fiona’s plan was perfect.
Joshua also became an accomplice. At that thought, Luna sneered.
“Mr. Lynch, if you want your girlfriend to get the honor, which was supposed to be mine, to be the
champion of this competition, you can tell it to me right off the bat.“
Joshua furrowed his brows fiercely upon Luna’s words.
“Luna, I hope you don’t get worked up over this. Having Fiona replace you as the person in charge is the
best solution right now. Fiona will be the project director. By then, she’ll be the one to explain the concept
of the design.
“That way, on one hand, we could shut the public’s mouth and let everyone know that Fiona also took
part in the core design work. On the other hand, other people won’t be so hostile to you. I’m sure you
have seen the comments online.”
“Do you think I care about that?” Luna opened her eyes and said, “The accident I was in six years ago,
the one that you and Aura came up with. How did you both describe me after the accident?”
