NovelOnlineJoshua could not help frowning when he heard
Luna’s tone.
“Wait for me,“ he ordered coldly, then immediately hung up the phone.
“Joshua. “ Fiona shot him a worried look from her spot on the hospital bed and said, “If you can’t reach
a compromise with Ms. Luna, just blame everything on Mrs. Collins and me. Don’t get into trouble with
her, okay?“
Seeing how understanding Fiona was, Joshua let out a sigh and nodded. Then, he turned around and
left the room.
Fiona leaned against the headboard and watched Joshua leave with a smirk. Her dark eyes were
etched with smugness and triumph.
It turned out she had overestimated Luna. She had thought Luna was smart and calculative, but she

‘How can she compete with me?’ Fiona thought to herself. ‘Sooner or later, Joshua Lynch will be mine!
‘
Outside the ward.
Luna was sitting on a bench in the hallway. Shannon, who was sitting next to her, was checking the
prices of Mrs. Collins’ dress with her phone.
Samson had left to send Arianna her lunch while Zayne sat next to them with his head lowered,
engrossed in the news.
Mrs. Collins was perched on the seat across from Luna. She lifted her head to glare at Luna, then
lowered it back down to look at her soiled dress, sighing at the same time.
After a while, the door opened, and Joshua strode out with a dark expression.
“Mr. Lynch! “ Mrs. Collins leaped out of her seat and approached him, wailing the moment she spotted
him, “Help me! Your employees, including a tall boy who was here just now, bumped into me in the
cafeteria and made me spill food all over my clothes! “ She tugged on her dress and exclaimed, “ Look
at this huge stain!
“I wanted him to compensate me for the dress, but he refused to do so unless I took off this dress in
public and gave it to him! Isn’t that disrespectful? He’s trying to take advantage of an old lady like me!
Mr. Lynch, please help me! “
Joshua frowned and first glanced at the stain on Mrs. Collins’ dress, then at Luna. “Did Samson do
this? Where is he now?“
Luna shrugged. “Arianna was hungry, so Samson went to get her lunch.“
Joshua snorted in indignation. “He’s the one who messed up, yet he expects the rest of you to clean up
his mess for him? What a coward.“
“He’s not a coward,“ Luna interjected coldly. “I told him not to come. I was afraid that he might lose his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtemper and upset your precious Ms. Blake again. I
was worried that if that happens, you’ll threaten to fire all three of them again.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes but did not pursue the topic further. Instead, he turned around and glanced
at Mrs. Collins. “Is that all?“
Mrs. Collins paused for a moment, then nodded in reply. “Yes. Ms. Blake and I are new to Banyan City,
so we’re not familiar with this place. Besides, I was alone just now, while there were four of them, so I
didn’t want to be taken advantage of and called Ms. Blake…“ She glanced in the direction of the ward
and asked, “Speaking of Ms. Blake, where is she?“
“She’s getting some rest,“ Joshua interjected, then turned around to glance at Luna again. “Were you
there when all this happened?“
Luna nodded. “Yes, I was.“
Joshua scoffed, and his expression turned cold immediately. “Then why did you let him get away with
this attitude? He’s the one who bumped into Mrs. Collins, so of course he should compensate for the
ruined dress.“
