NovelStartLuna narrowed her eyes when she heard what Fiona had said.
It was easy to think Fiona was saying this on purpose.
Shannon turned to Luna and surreptitiously mimed vomiting.
Initially, she had thought Fiona was an innocent woman. However, Shannon guessed that she must
have overheard the rest of the employees gossiping about Joshua and Luna, which explained her
current behavior.
Shannon knew the reason Fiona said what she had said was because she wanted to get on Luna’s
nerves.
Seeing that Joshua did not answer, a glimmer of malice flashed through Fiona’s eyes. She let out a
sigh and said wistfully, “Actually, Joshua, I don’t think I’m a good enough match for you… You deserve
to be with someone like Ms. Luna. I can’t compete with her at all..“
Joshua could hear Fiona’s voice waver and immediately furrowed his brows. The doctor had told him
that Fiona had been triggered, so she had to
keep her emotions under control for the time being. Otherwise, she would collapse and have to be
hospitalized.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as he thought of this, Joshua sighed and tried to console her in a low, gentle voice, “Fiona,
don’t think so low of yourself. You have your strengths, too.“
Fiona bit down on her lip and cast Joshua an innocent, endearing look. “But I— “
“You don’t have to compare yourself with anyone else. To me, you’re the most perfect woman in the
world.“ With that, Joshua glanced at the elevator and said, “We’re here.“
Fiona nodded feebly. “Okay.“
The elevator doors slid open, and the two exited, one after another.
The doors closed after them.
“D*mn! “ Shannon could not help cursing at everything that happened a few moments ago. “ Director
Luna, Fiona’s doing this on purpose! “
Fiona had deliberately said the things she said, claiming that Luna was a better match for Joshua and
that she could not compare to Luna at all when, in reality, all she wanted was to hear Joshua’s praise!
All she wanted was to hear Joshua compliment her and tell her that she was better than Luna.
Shannon could not help thinking that Fiona was a very calculating woman. Fortunately, Joshua was still
smart enough to see through her and did not do as she wanted. Luna would have been humiliated
otherwise.
“I know.“ Luna lifted her head to gaze at the indicator above the elevator doors. “They got off at the
eighth floor, right?“
Shannon paused for a moment, then nodded in reply. “Yes. Thank God they got off at the eighth floor; I
might not be able to control myself if they wanted to go somewhere higher up. If we’re stuck in the
same elevator with them for any longer, I might just give her a piece of my mind! “
Luna raised her eyebrows at Shannon. “Aren’t you afraid you might lose your job?“
Shannon pouted in indignation. “Well, if it weren’t for that, I would’ve given her a piece of my mind
already. Of course, she’s got President Lynch behind her back now, so I wouldn’t dream of offending
her.“
Luna nodded. “Yes, you’re right. “ It was clear that Fiona meant the world to Joshua, considering he
was even willing to fire all three of Luna’s assistants for her.
As she thought of this, Luna lifted her head to stare at the hospital floor plan.
The eighth floor was where the hematology department and clinical laboratories were located.
Why did Fiona have to go to the hematology department for something as simple as emotional stress?
Did she have leukemia, just like Nigel?
Suddenly, the elevator dinged and came to a halt, snapping Luna back to reality. She let out an exhale

Inside the room, Arianna was lying face down on the hospital bed, the upper half of her body naked,
while a doctor applied some medication on her burns.
Meanwhile, Zayne and Samson were waiting outside the room. When they caught sight of Luna and
Shannon approaching, they immediately went up to them.
“Why are the two of you here? Where’s that Fiona woman? Isn’t she going to apologize?“ demanded
Samson.
“Director Luna, how are we going to take care of this?“ asked Zayne.
Luna could not help feeling guilty when she met their earnest gaze. The three of them, including
Arianna, were her assistants. They were the only three people in Lynch Group that committed the
entirety of their time and effort to her.
However, Arianna was injured while Zayne and Samson were worried sick, and Luna could not even
manage to get Fiona to apologize.
Zayne noticed Luna’s expression and seemed to realize what had happened. He let out a somewhat
disappointed sigh and said, “It’s okay. She’s President Lynch’s girlfriend, after all. I’m not surprised that
everyone in Lynch Group has her back.“
Samson immediately gritted his teeth in fury. “F*ck. If we weren’t in Banyan City and instead overseas
in my home country, she would’ve been dead by now! “
