Chapter 199

Luna’s words silenced the entire design department. Her colleague’s expressions turned ugly, too.

She was indeed coaxing and praising Courtney yesterday together with Shannon. After all, Courtney was
the Design Director’s junior, and they were close to each other.

Luna came out of nowhere; no one knew who she was or what background she had. A person like that
was a threat to them!

“I never thought that someone would be proud to be a substitute.“ Shannon leaned against the door to
her office as she shot Luna a condescending glance. “ No wonder you’re so arrogant. You have the
support of someone that we can’t afford to offend.“

“You know you can’t offend him, too?“ Luna smiled. “Furthermore, Joshua never once said that I’m
anybody’s substitute, right? What if I were to say that Joshua actually likes me?“

“You’re lying! “ One of the staff agitatedly pointed at Luna and scolded, “The love President Lynch has for
his ex-wife is real! He loved her deeply. He only has her in his heart! “

Luna could not help but chuckle loudly at her words.

Joshua loved Luna Gibson deeply, and that he only had her in his heart, huh?

Luna, as the person in question, did not believe those words one bit.

She tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled

faintly. “How do you know that his feelings for his ex-wife are real? She has left him for six years, and he
has been engaged to her sister, Aura Gibson for the past five years. Have you all forgotten about this?
He said this was his way to take care of his ex-wife’s sister? Is that so?“



Luna lowered her gaze and tidied her desk while she aloofly spoke, “There’s a lot of ways to take care of
her. They don’t have to get engaged. The so-called taking care is just his way to maintain an image of
him being deeply in love.“

“Is that so? “Suddenly, a low voice came from the entrance of the design department.

That man’s low voice punctured through the noise of the crowd and immediately into Luna’s ears.

She suddenly tensed.

She knew she should not say such things, but she was annoyed at how her colleagues kept saying that
Joshua was deeply in love with his ex-wife and how he only had Luna Gibson in his heart.

Listening to these lies more than once or twice was more than enough, so she boldly retorted, only to let
Joshua hear what she said.

The entire design department was suddenly in pin -drop silence.

Luna braced herself and looked at Joshua’s angry face. She frantically waved her hands. “Hello,
President Lynch.“

The glare in his eyes was so sharp that they could kill! Joshua walked over to Luna and kept his gaze as
he suppressed the anger in his heart.

“Just because I didn’t inform you that I was going to carry you to work, you got so angry that you say that
I used to like Aura Gibson?”

There was tenderness in his tone and eyes. On the surface, it seemed like a boyfriend coaxing his angry
girlfriend.

However, only Luna knew that beneath that facade was a raging wild storm.



She smiled a little. “I’m…not that angry anymore.”

“I initially wanted to ask you to have lunch together.” Joshua’s expression was calm—his tender tone had
hints of danger in them.

“Since you’re still angry, though, let’s head to my office. I’ll cheer you up.”

Stunned, Luna instinctively wanted to refuse, but Joshua’s reaction was much quicker.

He immediately picked her up. “She’ll be taking the morning off.”
