Joshua lowered his head and elegantly straightened his disarrayed clothes. “Let him wait a few more
minutes, “ he said flatly. “I’ll go down soon.“
“Yes, Sir.“
Hearing Lucas’ footsteps leaving, the spent Luna leaned on the door and exhaled deeply.
When she came to her senses, Joshua had already tidied himself, looking properly as he stood in front
of her.
He looked at her condescendingly. His voice was so cold it had no warmth in it. “I hope this matter
won’t happen a second time. You can offend anyone you like in this company except me.“
He then turned to leave when Luna opened her arms wide, blocking Joshua’s path.
“Is there anything else?“ Joshua furrowed his brows unhappily.
“Yes.“ Luna took a deep breath and lifted her head. “If I’m not mistaken, you did say that you’re taking

“Hmm.“ Joshua frowned a little. “Someone is going to take photos and put them on the news.“
Luna smiled; she guessed correctly.
Thus, she stood up boldly and looked up at his smooth jawline. “I want to make a deal with you, Mr.
Lynch.“ “What is it?“
“I underestimated this previously. I thought I only needed to accompany you and occasionally put up
and act and I ‘ll be able to get what I want, but from the looks of the incident this morning…“
She deliberately licked her swollen red lips that he kissed just moments ago. “I think I’m losing out. “
“So, you want to make a deal with me and embarrass me publicly if I don’t agree to it?“ Joshua crossed
his arms across his chest. He looked at her indifferently. “I underestimated you.“
Luna offered to establish a relationship, then constantly gave in to him. He thought that she only
wanted these.
He never thought she had much deeper motives.
She initially gave in to him so that he would announce their relationship publicly. Then, she would use
that to threaten him and to ask for more.
Of course, he could choose not to give in to her demands, but retracting the announcement shortly
after they announced being together was still quite embarrassing for a person of Joshua’s status.
“You’re deceptive.“
Luna smiled. She looked up and shot a small smile at Joshua. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lynch, I won’t make
any excessive demands. You definitely would be able to achieve them, and they won’t affect you too
much, too.“
Joshua calmly looked at her. “Tell me.“
Luna took a deep breath. She secretly clenched her fists tightly. “I want to see Aura Gibson.“
Joshua furrowed his brows. “Why do you want to see her?“

that you’re keeping a close guard on her. I want to see her, but I won’t hurt her nor will I affect your
relationship with her. Also, I won’t spread the news that she’s still in Banyan City. I only want to see her.
I don’t think it should be a problem to you, right?“
Joshua squinted his eyes and looked at Luna.
His gaze was too sharp and cold. It was as if he could see through Luna’s mind.
Luna could not take his judgmental gaze, so she looked a different way. “Will you agree to this deal, Mr.
Lynch?“
What replied to her was Joshua’s steady breathing.
After a long while, Joshua slightly parted his lips. “I can agree to it, but…“
His deep gaze suddenly locked onto her face. “Why do you hate her so much?
