Luna raised her head stiffly to gaze at Shannon. “ Yes, I remember.“
Shannon pursed her lips and said, “I have a college friend who’s working as a reporter now, and he’s always camped out in front of airports. When I was talking to him this morning, he told me that he had seen Aura at the airport. She’s returned to Banyan City.
“Initially, I thought maybe he had mistaken someone else as Aura, but he told me that because she used to be a celebrity, he’d recognize her anywhere. He even sent me a photo to prove he was right.“
With that, Shannon pulled out her phone to show Luna the photo. “Look.“
It was indeed Aura. It had been a few months since she last saw Aura, so the first thing she noticed was how much weight Aura had lost. She also looked much more beautiful than before.
Aura wore a red trench coat and smiled at the photographer, but for some reason, Luna found her smile somewhat eerie and spine-chilling.
She pursed her lips and shifted her gaze away from the photo. “It’s her, alright.“
“I ‘m surprised that she’s back now.“ Shannon shot Luna a wary look. “Do you…think she’s come back to steal President Lynch from Fiona? She used to be his fiancée, after all. Even though they’ve broken off their engagement, they were still together for five years.
“Meanwhile, Fiona and President Lynch have only known each other for a short time, but they seem to be a very sweet couple…“
Luna narrowed her eyes and mulled over this for a moment, then chuckled. “I’m curious as to who will win if they really do get in a fight over him.“
With that, she exhaled and continued tidying her things. “I don’t have time for this, though.“
She handed Shannon a name list and ordered, “Help me summon all these people here. I want to get ready for the jewelry design contest soon.“
Shannon suppressed her urge to continue gossiping and took the name list from Luna. Then, she turned around and left the room to round up the people Luna wanted.
It was obvious that Luna was talking about what happened on Fiona’s first day of work. She had spilled a steaming hot cup of coffee on Arianna, scalding her and, at the same time, causing her to almost lose her job.
Fiona smirked when she heard this. “You hold quite a grudge, Ms. Luna.“
She tidied up the documents on the desk and stood up, glancing at Luna impassively. “Don’t worry, Ms. Luna, I won’t do anything to trouble you anymore. “
With that, she inched closer to Luna and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, “After all, what I want the most is to see you finish your job and get out of here with your two children.“
She then let out a small sigh and added, “I ‘ll only be able to get pregnant with Joshua’s children after you and your children leave. Otherwise, he refuses to touch me.
“He’s a responsible man… He doesn’t want to get me pregnant before you leave Banyan City, so you’d better take your work seriously and get out of here as soon as possible, Luna. Don’t linger any longer than you should, lest you spoil our fun.”
