Upon hearing Joshua’s name, Luna was taken aback.
She bit her lip. “What time is his flight?”
“Seven this evening,” Bonnie said with a sigh. “Luna, why don’t you contact Joshua yourself? I’d
probably be able to help you had it been anyone else, but Joshua…”
“Alright.” Luna took a deep breath and hung up.
Leaving the cafe, Luna got in the car while looking for Joshua’s contact, calling him afterward.
Soon, Joshua picked up. Before Luna could say anything, Joshua, on the other end, smilingly greeted,
“It’s only four in the afternoon. Didn’t we agree to meet at ten tonight?”
Joshua was asking for a beating.
Luna rolled her eyes. If she did not know that Joshua had already applied for the airway that night
leaving the city, she would think that Joshua would probably want to…do something to her that night.
However, at that moment, she understood clearly that he was just trying to provoke her.
Luna took a deep breath and smiled. “Why? Are you planning to stand me up at Orchard Manor tonight?”
Joshua was silent for a while before chuckling. “How did you know?”
Listening to his deep voice, Luna secretly thought that Joshua’s acuteness was always beyond her
expectations. She only said one sentence, and he had already deduced that she knew about him leaving
on a private plane.
Luna furrowed her brows and took a deep breath. “I got Bonnie to check. Joshua, I need to return t o
Merchant City urgently tonight too, so can I hitch a ride?”
“Urgent?” Joshua furrowed his brows a little. “Does it have to do with Jim?”
Luna’s breathing stopped for a while. After a while, she bit her lip. “H-How do you know?”
Jim’s reaction that day was rather out of the ordinary, but Luna thought that only the Landry family would
know about it. She even sent a message to the butler to make sure the servants did not spread the
news.
“I am the president of Lynch Group, after all.” Joshua sounded low and calm. “Jim started going berserk
today, attacking the Lynch Group in quite a reckless fashion, so I’m planning to head back tonight to
have a look.”
Luna’s heart skipped a beat at what Joshua said.
It turned out that Jim’s condition was not only on personal matters. Even at work, he was very emotional.
It looked like she had to return to Merchant City with Joshua that night, or the consequences would be
unimaginable.
At that thought, Luna bit her lip. “I’ve never seen him so abnormal. He was smashing my mother’s stuff.”
Then, Luna sniffled. “I’ll wait for you at the airport in two hours?”
Joshua, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while. “I haven’t agreed to it yet.”
Luna was in no mood to bargain with him. She sniffled and persisted, “Haven’t I already owe you three
times? Adding another two times would be more than enough, right?”
Joshua’s breathing was cut short when he heard what Luna said. After a while, he laughed in a low tone.
“Are you really going to use this to barter?” “If not?” Luna said with a smile, “Don’t you like this, Mr.
Lynch?”
