Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 379
Hearing what Alice had said, Mr. Scott immediately set the glass down in front of Luna. “Here you go,
Ms. Luna.“
Luna frowned and glanced at the glass of liquor but made no move to pick it up. “I ‘m just an ordinary
employee. Isn’t it inappropriate for me to accept a toast from you, Mr. Scott?“ She glanced at Joshua
before she added, “Besides, I don’t tolerate alcohol that well. I’m afraid that I might do something stupid
after I get drunk.“
Seeing how Luna glanced meaningfully at Joshua, Alice tightened her grip on his arm. “I beg to differ,
Ms. Luna. Mr. Lynch has risked his life to save yours, so what makes you think you’re just an ordinary
employee? Besides…“
Alice glanced at the glass that clearly contained hard liquor and sneered. Then, she lied through her
teeth, “It’s just one glass. How could you get drunk from that?“
Luna smirked and looked at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, are you sure you want me to accept this drink on your

Joshua smiled and lifted his head to glance at Mr. Smith. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Mr. Scott.“ He
had witnessed Luna in her drunken state before, and it certainly was not pretty.
Mr. Scott refused to relent. “Mr. Lynch appears to take very good care of his female employees.
Although I guess that makes perfect sense. Mr. Lynch is even willing to put himself in harm’s way for his
employee.” With that, he shot Luna a teasing look and added, ”It appears that Ms. Luna truly is an
outstanding employee. Otherwise, why would Mr. Lynch go to such lengths for you?”
Mr. Scott’s words were borderline insulting. Luna frowned and stood up abruptly. ”I ‘in going to the
washroom.”
”Luna, ” called out Alice curtly as soon as she realized Luna tried to flee the scene. ”You’ve always
insisted that nothing is going on between you and Joshua and that your relationship is just that of a boss
and his employee. However, you refuse to take a drink for Joshua, and you don’t even try to explain
anything when Mr. Scott has misunderstood you. ”
Alice’s brows furrowed as she continued, ”Are you deliberately trying to make people think there’s
something going on between you and Joshua?”
Joshua’s expression darkened upon hearing Alice’s words. ”Alice ! ” he said sternly. He glanced at Luna,
then turned around and glowered at Alice. ”There’s no need to explain anything to people who don’t
matter.”
Mr. Scott was displeased to hear this. ”Mr. Lynch, what do you mean by that? We’ re about to become
partners. How can you say something like that?”
Joshua’s lips curled into a smirk. ”Mr. Scott, do you truly think that just because Lynch Group is about to
collaborate with you, this gives you the right to comment on my personal life?” He stood up and said, ”If
that’s the case, I don’t think we should sign that contract anymore.“
With that, Joshua tugged on Alice’s hand, about to head out the door.
Alice frowned and stopped Joshua from leaving, then turned to glare at Luna. “Luna, you cost Lynch
Group a collaboration opportunity just because you refused a glass of liquor. Don’t you feel ashamed?“

Luna narrowed her eyes. Although Mr. Scott was rude and disrespectful, the jewelry company he owned
was one of the best in the market. Lynch Group had just branched into selling jewelry, so they definitely
needed Mr. Scott’s help on this. However…
To Joshua, Lynch Group’s jewelry branch was just a tiny sliver of the businesses he owned, so it did not
matter that much if they lost this partner at all. At the same time…
“It’s okay.“ Luna let out a sigh, lifted her head, and met Joshua’s gaze. “Please don’t be offended, Mr.
Lynch. Mr. Scott is just outspoken, that’s all. It’s only one glass. I’ll drink it.“
Luna picked up the glass and downed its contents in a single gulp. As she did so, the pained expression
on her face made Joshua’s heart lurch.
He recalled one incident that had happened many years ago. At that time, he and Luna Gibson had just
gotten married, and she liked tagging along with him everywhere. One day, he finally gave in to her
persuasion and agreed to bring her to a party he had been invited to.
