Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 273

Luna shrugged and gave Shannon her phone back. “ Get back to work. You shouldn’t be looking at stuff like this during office hours.“

Shannon’s jaw dropped. “Director Luna, don’t you… want to explain anything?“

Luna glanced at her. “Why do I need to explain anything to you? Maybe I should put it this way: None of you will believe me even if I explained, so why should I waste my energy?“ With that, she turned around and went back into her office with a small smile.

To be honest, Luna did not care that Alice had gone to the press. She did not care if everyone who saw that article ended up misunderstanding her and thought she was a selfish, jealous woman. Long gone was the Luna who cared about the opinions of others, who strived to please everyone she met.

All she wanted to do was finish her sketches in time so she could take Neil and Nellie on an outing as Joshua promised.

It was another busy day. When it was time to get off from work, Luna’s assistant knocked on her door. “ Director Luna, someone is here to see you.“

Luna glanced at the time —it was 5pm. She smiled faintly, thinking it was Theo who came to pick her up from work. She instructed her assistant, “Alright, let him in.“

Someone pushed the door open a moment later, but it was not Theo as Luna had expected.

It was Granny Lynch. She entered the room with the help of two servants and sat down on the couch grouchily. She had a hostile expression and appeared to be furious about something. ”Well, well. If I hadn’t seen the news today, I wouldn’t have found out that you’re working here!”

The corners of Luna’s mouth turned up in a small smile. ”Ma’am, you fired me from my position at Blue Bay Villa because Aura gave you something in return. Are you trying to get me fired from Lynch Group now? Whose gift did you accept this time?

Alice’s?”

Luna watched as the paper got torn into two right before her eyes. Granny Lynch, however, did not think that one was enough. She extended her hand toward Luna’s desk, wanting to grab another piece of paper.

”Enough ! ” Luna yelled, outraged. She could not stand watching hours of her hard work turned into scraps. She grabbed Granny Lynch’s hand and snatched the two pieces of paper away from her.

”How dare you stop me ! ” Granny Lynch glared at Luna with deranged eyes. ”You ruined someone’s artwork. What’s wrong with me ruining one of yours?” She reached out to grab another one of Luna’s sketches.

Luna clasped her hands around Granny Lynch’s wrists. She had been trying to suppress her anger, but she could no longer take it anymore. Luna hated it when people touched her sketches!

Luna did not know what Alice had said to Granny Lynch that made her so worked up, but Luna could not stand by and watch her hard work ruined in mere seconds. It was one thing for Granny Lynch to touch her sketches but another thing entirely for her to tear them up. No matter how mild-mannered a person was, they were bound to snap.
