Alice closed her eyes and weighed her options.
Joshua rarely got drunk, much less to such an extent. It was an opportunity of a lifetime. She could not
afford to let it slip away.
The night of the party, Joshua had slept with Luna, but he had no memory of that at all when he woke
up the next morning. He thought he had slept with Alice instead, which was why he changed his mind
about the divorce and even started to treat her better than he did prior to that.
Alice contemplated for a few moments before she finally made a bold decision: she would call Luna
over and send her right into his arms.
Besides, even if Joshua found out he had slept with Luna, he would not admit to that at all and, instead,
treat Alice even better due to his guilt. It was the perfect opportunity for Alice to drive a wedge between
them.
She let out a sigh and gingerly picked up Joshua’s phone. Then, she composed a disappearing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmessage to Luna and sent it to her.
Disappearing messages was a special text messaging function on Joshua’s phone. The message
would automatically be deleted after the recipient had read it, and Joshua used it often whenever he
wanted to conduct business in secret. That way, he would not be caught, and no one else would be
able to obtain his trade secrets even if they managed to get ahold of his phone. This messaging
function existed only on Joshua’s phone.
Meanwhile, Luna was in the children’s room as she cleared up Neil and Nellie’s toys. She had just
managed to get them to fall asleep not too long ago.
Maybe it was because it had been a while since she last came to Blue Bay Villa, but the children’s
room was terribly messy. Nellie’s design sketches and Neil’s toys were strewn everywhere.
Luna gathered the sketches from the floor and paused to admire Nellie’s designs. It was undeniable
that Nellie had inherited Luna’s talent and love for jewelry design. Although Nellie’s sketches were still
somewhat childish, they contained a few elements of her own design and creativity. That impressed
Luna.
After picking up the rest of the toys, Luna gave Nellie’s sketches another look and could not help but
add a few elements to spice up the designs. Just as she did, her phone chimed.
It was a text message from Joshua. [Come to the study.]
Luna froze at the text. She glanced at the time and realized that it was 10:30pm. Why did he want to
see her so late at night?
(It’s late now. We can talk tomorrow instead.]
She received a reply almost immediately. (No, this can’t wait till tomorrow. Come now. I have something
urgent to tell you.]
Luna paused. Although she was reluctant to do so, she had no choice but to obey Joshua’s orders. He
was her boss, after all.
She sighed and draped a jacket over her nightgown, then left the children’s room.
As soon as Luna walked out of the children’s room, she ran into Alice, who just came out of Joshua’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstudy. The two women made eye contact with each other.
Alice froze when she saw Luna, then immediately let out a snicker. With that, she turned around and
disappeared into the master bedroom, slamming the door forcefully behind her.
Luna pursed her lips. What was it this time?
She guessed that Joshua had probably fought with Alice, and this was why he had summoned her over
to discuss work.
Luna felt a little exasperated by that. She did not want to get caught in a married couple’s fight.
Luna heaved a sigh and knocked gently on the study room door. There was no response. She frowned
and knocked again, but no one answered as well.
Finally, she sighed and pushed the door open. “ President Lynch, you…“
Before she could finish, someone darted out from behind the door and wrapped his arms around her.
The door slammed shut behind her with a loud thud.
The pungent smell of alcohol lingered in the air. Luna could tell who it was without even turning around.
She frowned and lowered her voice as she asked, “Are you drunk?“
”Luna Gibson, ” Joshua murmured as he gently grazed her earlobe. ”I missed you so much… ”
