He lifted his thick, well-defined hand and rubbed between his eyebrows. “The design department is the only department in the entire group that organized an event to celebrate my son’s recovery. Is there a problem with me attending their gathering?“
Lucas was silent for a few moments. “No problem at all.“
Then, he lowered his head and focused on organizing the documents, continuing his work reports to Joshua.
Half an hour later, after finishing the arrangements and reports about work, Lucas sighed before leaving the office. In the end, he could not help himself and said, “Actually, I think…both you and Ms. Blake should not be attending the gathering tonight…“
Besides, if Fiona and Luna got drunk and got into a fight… The repercussions would be disastrous.
Joshua squinted at his assistant’s words. “You mean, I shouldn’t attend a dinner to celebrate the success of my son’s operation?”
Lucas was speechless.
He sucked in a deep breath. “I’m sorry, I should not have said that. “ Then, he held the documents in his arms and fled out of the room.
Looking at his assistant’s retreating back, Joshua squinted his eyes faintly, then lowered them and continued his work.
He knew what Lucas was worried about. But…
Even though the gathering tonight was a departmental gathering, Luna was a woman after all. He knew how high her alcohol tolerance level was and her habits after she got drunk.
If he wasn’t there, he would be too worried about her drinking alone with those people. Even though those people were her subordinates, he would still be married.
Besides…
He lifted his hand and caressed the invitation to the International Jewelry Design Competition on the table in front of him, a wry smile on the edges of his lips.
After the competition, Luna and the jewelry produced by the Lynch Group would be famous worldwide, then she could earn more money for him quickly and leave Banyan City, this hotbed for trouble and rumors.
Then, there would be less and less time for him to spend with her.
Luna smiled helplessly, then lowered her head and typed out a reply seriously. Beside her, Shannon and a few other female staff members started to gossip as they drank.
“Luckily Fiona didn’t come today, the atmosphere would be ruined if she did.”
“Previously, of the women beside President Lynch, I found Alice Gibson to be irritating, but now, Fiona is even worse.”
“She looked so fake when she was taking her medicine this morning, maybe she’s just pretending to be sick.”
“Exactly, I think she’s faking it too, her acting skills are so poor, how come President Lynch can’t see through her act?”
The moment the words left her mouth, the door to the room was slammed open with a loud bang.
Standing in the doorway were Joshua and Fiona.
Fiona had her arm hooked through Joshua’s arm, her complexion pale and lifeless. With an ice-cold expression on his face, Joshua looked at the female staff member who just spoke, his tone low and forbidding as he said, “Please repeat what you just said.”
