“Alice knew I came to see you.”
Luna scoffed and closed the door. “Not too long ago, Mrs. Lynch had been calling me your mistress.
Since when did she become so forgiving?”
Joshua frowned but did not reply.
He indicated for her to sit down on the sofa. “Because of certain reasons, the visit has been
rescheduled for tomorrow.”
He handed the documents to her. “These are the few of the main factories. You must understand the
design and raw materials needed. Tomorrow, keep an eye out for the materials provided by the
factories. And…”
He handed her a different document. “Take note of these few companies’ style of design and target
audience.”
Seeing how invested he was to discuss business, Luna decided not to continue bringing in their private
matters. She read through the document thoroughly, then marked the parts that required special
attention. “I’ve taken note.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“We’ll leave at 9 am tomorrow. We need to visit every single one of these companies by the end of the
day,” Joshua’s voice was business-like and emotionless. “At night, we’ll be having dinner with one of
our clients in Sea City, so don’t forget to prepare a medication to neutralize the alcohol.”
“Alright.“
Luna bowed her head and continued studying the documents. “Is there anything else?“ she asked
carelessly.
“Yes.“ The man sitting opposite her changed into a different position, his gaze deep and heavy. “You’ve
been to Sea City before, haven’t you?“
She stiffened slightly.
A moment later, she smiled. “I ‘ve been overseas the whole time. Didn’t you read my background
information?“
“So, this is your first time here in Sea City?“
Luna tidied up the documents neatly. “Of course. “
Joshua hung an arm over the back of the sofa, his posture lazy and relaxed. “You walked through the
entire city in just an afternoon’s time, though. You looked confident and relaxed, and I couldn’t tell it
was your first time here.“
The man’s words made her pause abruptly.
She raised her head in alarm. “You sent someone to follow me?“
He did not deny it. “From how familiar you are with Sea City, you make me think you grew up here.“
Last night after Luna was attacked by the crowd at the banquet, he was worried and asked Lucas and
two other bodyguards to shadow her. At least, he could allow her to be attacked in the market, like
when they were in Banyan City.
Unexpectedly, the video recording that the two bodyguards sent to him showed…
Luna, extremely familiar with every spot in the city.
“I was just wandering around.“ Luna felt slightly guilty. “I was bored last night, so I looked through a
map of the city. That’s why I seem familiar with the area.“
Then, she suppressed the panic in her chest, lowered her head, and flipped open the documents once
again. “This is my first time here in Sea City.“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoshua remained lying on the sofa wordlessly.
She did not dare raise her head to meet his eyes, at a loss as to whether he believed her or not.
The air between them was heavy and silent.
A moment later, he finally opened his mouth, his voice cold and deep, “Luna, what else are you
hiding?“
She pursed her lips, then finally raised her head and smiled at him. “What are you trying to say, Mr.
Lynch? Are you still wondering whether this is my first time in Sea City?“
“Yes, and no.“ Joshua’s lips curved into a smile. “ Last night at the banquet, the information you
produced was sent to you from Ausland, am I right?“ His eyes were burning as if he wanted to stare a
hole through her. “From that little hacker in Ausland? “
Luna stiffened sharply.
She looked at Joshua, at a loss for words.
“How did you contact him? The date indicated on the documents was from last night, and he obviously
only started collecting the information after you notified him.” He stared at her, then finally locked his
eyes onto the necklace that hung around her neck. “I remember that you, Nellie, and Neil all have that
necklace. Can you take it off so I can take a look at it?”
