Luna and Joshua’s original schedule for the day was to visit several jewelry companies in Sea City to conduct a survey.
The agreed time was 9am, but it was past loam and there were no signs of movement from Joshua.
As she sat in her room, Luna hesitated for a long while and wondered if she should approach him and ask. If they were not going out, she would not have to keep waiting.
“Joshua, thank you for accompanying me today, but it doesn’t hurt so much anymore.“ Just as she walked to their door and before she could knock, Alice’s soft whine drifted out from inside the room, “Didn’t you come to Sea City for business? You should go.“
“No, I’ll cancel,“ the man’s deep voice sounded extremely gentle. “Where else does it hurt? I’ll massage it for you.“
“Here, this spot still aches. It’s all your fault…“ “Okay, I’ll massage it for you.“
One sounded soft, gentle, and slightly whiny, like a call for attention. The other was deep and doting, with love and affection filling his voice.
Luna’s hand that was about to knock on the door paused mid-air. A long while later, she scoffed and turned to leave.
At the entrance to the elevators, she ran into Lucas who just stepped out of an elevator.
“Ms. Luna, “ Lucas stopped her. “Right. The director asked me to inform you that the survey is rescheduled for tomorrow. A few of the factory owners aren’t ready to meet us. You don’t have to wait for the director for work, so you can take a tour around the city.“
Luna laughed coldly. “Alright.“
Were the factory owners truly unprepared, or did Joshua want to stay in and accompany Alice?
Neither did she know, nor did she care to find out.
At her words, the man who sat on the sofa smirked faintly.
He set down the documents in his hand with a cold smile and swept his eyes across at her. “I had something to say to you, but you never returned.
Alice is asleep. I didn’t want to disrupt her sleep, so I came to your room to wait.”
Luna laughed coldly and continued to stand at the entrance. “The two of you are so close. Since Mrs. Lynch is asleep, you should go to sleep, too. We can discuss work tomorrow morning after Mrs. Lynch is awake.”
She seemed determined to chase him out of the room. Joshua frowned at the sight.
“Shut the door! “
