Arianna furrowed her brows and shot Luna a nervous glance. Then, she asked in a low voice, “Director
Luna, do you really…want to remove the bandage?“
Since she could still smell the stench of blood despite the many layers of bandage, Arianna guessed that
Luna’s wound must be very deep.
Luna sneered, then glanced at Fiona and Charmaine. “If I don’t remove my bandage, how can I show
them that I’m really hurt and not faking my injury?“
Arianna pursed her lips in disapproval. She had no choice but to follow Luna’s request and remove the
bandage from her arm.
The scent of blood wafted through the entire office almost immediately.
Charmaine froze momentarily, then turned to look at Fiona, her face etched with alarm.
A hint of surprise flashed through Fiona’s eyes. How… How was this possible?
The reason Joshua had carried Luna out of the office was that the libido-enhancing drugs had taken
effect, and he wanted to use Luna as a means of releasing his sexual desire! How could there possibly
be a wound on Luna’s arm, much less such a fresh one?
While the two of them were immersed in their thoughts, Arianna continued to unwrap Luna’s bandage
and finally removed it altogether.
Beneath the bandage was a bloody wound sprinkled with yellow antiseptic powder. The wound was
sutured, but even then, it was still a big one.
Arianna glanced at it and guessed that Luna’s wound was about ten centimeters long, with more than ten
stitches!
Charmaine and Fiona were both stunned.
The rest of the employees, who—like Charmaine and Fiona—did not believe that Joshua had taken Luna
to the hospital, were just as astounded.
In fact, Luna had deliberately cut herself with a fruit knife at home.
At the time, the doctor had told her that as long as her arm was wrapped, no one would try to look at her
wound and attempted to talk her out of harming herself.
However, Luna knew that…neither Fiona nor Charmaine would let her hear the end of this unless she
showed them an actual wound.
She had expected this to happen, so she had deliberately cut herself to prepare for this scenario.
“Is this clear enough?“ Luna scoffed, turned around, and proffered her arm to Fiona and Charmaine. “
What did you two promise me just now?“ she added, smirking coldly. “Charmaine, I’ll be waiting for your
apology letter.“
With that, she ordered Arianna to help her wrap her wound up again.
Luna turned around and glanced at Fiona’s pale face impassively. “I’m not someone who’s skilled at
faking illnesses. In my opinion, faking illnesses is something only a useless person would do.“ She
blinked at Fiona innocently. “Don’t you agree, Ms. Blake?“
Fiona’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She bit down on her lip and said in a casual tone, “Of
course. Just now, I kept trying to stop Charmaine from spreading rumors about you faking an injury…“
With that, she smiled at Luna and added, “Don’t worry. I ‘ll make sure that Charmaine hands in the
apology letter exactly as you asked.“
Luna chuckled. “That’d be great.“
Then, she turned around and adjusted the sling on her neck.
However, as she was doing this, the collar of Luna’s shirt gaped open, revealing her collarbone, where
Joshua’s hickey remained.
Charmaine immediately jumped when she saw this. She immediately stormed toward Luna, who was
walking toward her office, and blocked her path. “Ms. Luna, when you came in to work this morning, your
neck and collarbone were bare. It’s not even twenty-four hours yet, but why is there something new on
your collarbone?“
Luna froze in her tracks.
She turned around and glanced at Charmaine with her eyebrows raised. “What are you trying to say?“
Charmaine snorted in indignation and pointed at Luna’s hickey. “This thing wasn’t on your neck this
morning. You were working the who le day, and the only time you left your office was when you hurt
yourself, and Mr. Lynch had to carry you out of there ”Who left that hickey on your neck, then?”
