The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 105

Avia rushed over, fork still in hand. Upon hearing Nora’s voice, she forcefully folded the innocent fork.

I casually glanced at her, withdrew my gaze, and refocused on the conversation with Nora. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Nora mentioned April’s birthday.

“I remember you mentioning wanting to give April a unique set of jewelry for her birthday not long ago,” she said.

“Ah… yes.”

I looked up at April, who raised an eyebrow mischievously, clearly aware of the surprise.

I sighed in resignation. However, I couldn’t blame Nora; after all, she didn’t know I had put her on speakerphone.

Nora continued, “This time, I brought four manuscript versions. You can choose any. Of course, if you don’t like any of them, I’ll redraw them. I don’t have any other jobs for the next month, so I can focus on helping you design—”

“You said you didn’t have time! You lied to me!”

Before Nora could finish her sentence, a roar filled with anger erupted in the restaurant, interrupting her.

Nora paused for a few seconds and asked, “What’s going on? My ears are almost deaf… Where are you now? In a slaughterhouse? I think I heard the sound of pigs being slaughtered.”

April nearly burst into laughter, covering her mouth as we both looked at Avia.

Avia stared wide–eyed, chest heaving violently, resembling a balloon about to burst. “Why is everyone silent?” Nora’s voice echoed again.

“Nothing…” I suppressed a smile, explaining, “I mean, we’re not in a slaughterhouse; we’re in a Michelin–starred restaurant.

“What? A Michelin chef slaughtering pigs in front of you?” Nora exclaimed in disbelief.

This time, April couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Nora on the other end was bewildered, “Did I say something wrong? What’s happening?”

I smirked, casually resting my chin on my hand, leisurely observing Avia, who seemed ready to explode. I sighed and said, “Not pig slaughtering… it’s a client who wants to schedule a design appointment with you.”

“A client?

“It’s…”

Who?”
