The sudden accusation made Luna dumbfounded. She paused and sneered at Alice, ”Why do you think I care?”
It was true she did not hear the worker’s cries of warning, nor Joshua and Alice’s words of caution. If she had heard them, why would she not get out of harm’s way?
Luna let out a deep sigh and glanced at Alice. ”Mrs. Lynch, are you suggesting that I was so certain Mr. Lynch would save me if I placed myself in harm’s way?”
Alice’s face turned pale at her words.
Luna continued with a smirk, ”You were right, Mrs. Lynch. Although Mr. Lynch made you apologize to me just now, he still comforted you instead of me. This clearly shows that he deeply cares for you. If that’s the case, why would he treat me differently? Why would I be so certain that Mr. Lynch would save me if I put myself in danger?
”If I had made the wrong call, Mr. Lynch wouldn’t have rescued me, and I’ d be the one in here, getting stitches. Let me ask you this, Mrs. Lynch. If you were in my shoes, would you put yourself in danger out of jealousy?”
Alice’s face was even whiter than the wall behind her. Then, after a moment, she bit down on her lip and argued, ”You knew Joshua saw the rock flying toward you, and you knew that he’d save you because you’re one of Lynch Group’s star employees ! ”
Since Alice could not use Luna and Joshua’s relationship against her, she had no choice but to bring up Joshua’s devotion toward his employees. ” Joshua loves all his employees ! If any of them got hurt, he’d do anything to help them ! ”
Luna stared at Alice and suddenly realized it was pointless in arguing with her. Alice was stubborn, and she was convinced Luna caused this accident on purpose.
”Ms. Luna is an outstanding employee , so it’s only natural that Mr. Lynch would be willing to save her ” The supervisor sighed. ”She was so focused when
I was explaining the data to her just now. I’ve been working there for more than ten years now, but this is the first time I’ve ever come across someone this committed… ”
Alice scowled. She could not believe that Joshua was taking Luna’s side! He even called her committed and intelligent!
Alice bit her lip nervously. “Joshua, I was just worried about you…“
“I know you’re worried about me, but that doesn’t mean you can talk about my employee like that.“ Joshua turned around and shot Luna a glance. “It’s good that you’re a focused worker, but the next time you’re in a place where accidents tend to happen, please keep an eye out and protect yourself. I won’t rescue you a second time.“
With that, he strode out of the clinic without turning back. Alice frowned and sprinted after him. “Where are you going, Joshua?“
“I’m going back to the workshop. We haven’t finished our work yet.“
