“But Fiona works for the design department, if she wants to come, I must accompany her. But I never expected to hear her colleagues bad -mouthing her the moment we arrived.“
Luna’s hand that was pouring the wine for them paused slightly. A moment later, she smiled, she was not interested in pursuing this topic of conversation. “Mr. Lynch and Ms. Blake are so deeply in love…“
“We are. “ Joshua’s eyes were calm and indifferent. “ But precisely because we are deeply in love, I won’t just let Shannon and the others go just like this.“
The moment he said this, Shannon and the other female employees around them felt as if their hearts had been strung high in their chests.
“Easy, “ Joshua chuckled softly, “I saw the list of teams that you gave me this afternoon to participate in the International Jewelry Design Competition on behalf of the Jewelry Design Department of the Lynch Group.”
He raised his eyes and looked at Luna coldly. “As the Deputy Director of the Jewelry Design Department, Shannon acted carelessly, so she was disqualified from joining the team. Fiona will take her place.“
Luna’s hand that held the wine bottle tightened viciously. Switch from Shannon to Fiona? This competition was a team-based competition, and the
number of team members were limited to less than ten people, so the people Luna chose to form a team with her were all elites in the design department.
Even her assistant Arianna was not included in the list.
Shannon was an elite of the design department, not only was she talented in design, she was also an organizational whiz, she could help save Luna a lot of time and trouble so Luna could concentrate on designing. But now…
Just because Shannon angered Fiona, she was to be substituted with Fiona, an intern who did not know anything?
Since Fiona joined the company, Luna did not see an ounce of her hard work. In the past, she thought Joshua just sent Fiona to the design department to spend time away and be pampered like a spoiled princess, that’s why she did not pay her much attention. There were so many people in the design department anyway, one more would not make much of a difference.
But now, they are participating in a competition. An international competition where at most, there could only be lo team members. At an important juncture like this, Joshua wanted to slip Fiona into her team to sit on her hands and while away the time?
Her words made Fiona’s complexion turn even paler than before. She lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks in rivulets as she said, “There’s… there’s a reason for this. Joshua…“
Seeing her tears, Joshua frowned in irritation. He tugged her into his arms. “Luna, with your talent, even if there’s one less person in the team compared to the others, I ‘m confident you will not lose. Can’t you just accept having one less person in the team and make a place for Fiona?“
Luna narrowed her eyes, so furious that she started to laugh instead. ”Joshua Lynch, how far are you willing to go for this woman? Don’t you have a bottom line?”
