"How are you planning to take care of this?"
Joshua paused for a moment, then answered in a low voice, "I'll go over tonight.” With that, he hung up the phone.
Fiona wriggled into his arms and asked, "What's wrong, Joshua?"
"Nothing." Joshua let out a sigh and gently patted her head. "I have some stuff to take care of tonight, so you’ll have to eat dinner by yourself. How does that sound?"
Fiona bit down on her lip and stared at Joshua with her dark eyes. "What's so urgent that you have to take care of it tonight? I think I heard you say something about a party... Can you bring me along with you?"
Fiona then continued, her eyes glimmering with sorrow, "I’m new to Banyan City, and I don’t know anyone here. I'm just hoping to get to know a few people. Otherwise..."
She lowered her head and said in a rueful tone, "It'll just feel like I'm stuck in a hospital again, all alone with no one by my side."
Joshua let out a sigh. "Fiona, I’ve already allowed you t o come work at Lynch Group, but I can't let you do the same for this party. There will be many people there, and I wouldn’t want it to affect your psychological and
physical health. Stay at home, okay?"
Tears welled up in Fiona's eyes as soon as she heard this. "You don't want to bring me, do you?"
She did not manage to catch much of the phone call h e had, but she still heard the person on the other end o f the line mention Luna’s name.
If whatever happened at this party would affect Joshua and Luna, she had to go, too!
Seeing the tear-streaks on Fiona’s face, Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration. He was not good at reassuring people, much less women.
Shannon gasped. "Director Luna, you're so beautiful, and you have a killer body... How can Fiona even compete with you?”
She thought that President Lynch was probably out of his mind, having given up such a gorgeous woman like Luna for Fiona.
Bonnie gazed at Luna with a satisfied look. "You’re so much more beautiful than I thought."
She had known since the start that Luna was attractive. However, because she was constantly engrossed in work, Luna rarely wore makeup or classy dresses like this. Therefore, she never had the chance t o display this elegant, sophisticated side of her.
Bonnie approached Luna and grabbed hold of her hand. "My dear, I want to let you become the most
charming woman in Banyan City tonight!"
