“Luna, come out! “

“Luna, come out and apologize! “ “Come out now! Stop playing dead! “

Outside the design department was Irene, who brought a few of her friends and a few others hired bodyguards. They revealed a banner.

The group protested outside the design department as they held up banners and flags, all while

murderous intent burned among them.

Irene sat in the middle of the group. The bruises on her face seemed to be even more serious than the day before.

She was sobbing with tears.

“I admit that I shouldn’t have spread unconfirmed rumors, but how ruthless of you to treat me this way, Luna! I was about to go on a blind date today. Look at me now! Not only can I not go on the blind date, but I also lost a good job I just found yesterday.

You have to compensate for my losses, Luna! My physical, mental, and emotional well-being! Waa…! “

The noise outside was quite loud, but Luna was in her office with headphones. She heard nothing.

Arianna looked at Zayne, then at Samson. She did not know what to do at that moment.

In the end, Shannon was the one that pushed open Luna’s office door and asked, “Director Luna, do we need to get security to chase them away?“

It was only when she saw Shannon entering did Luna’s brows furrowed. She lifted her head and took off her headphones.

“What’s going on?“

Once Luna took off her earphones, she immediately heard the ruckus outside. Luna cocked her head to have a listen, and she chuckled.

Did they realize that posting the screenshot on the internet was useless, so they started making a scene in front of her?

“Let them be.“ Luna smiled and instructed, “Give each of them a bottle of water, then put a noise monitor over there. If the sound decibels exceed the noise regulations, call the cops to arrest them.“

Shannon furrowed her brows at Luna’s words. “A— Are…you not going to handle this matter at all? This matter is spreading like a wildfire now. I think…“

“How should I handle it?“ Luna lifted her head and looked at Shannon seriously. “Tell me, how should I prove that I’ve never slept with another man?“

Shannon was stunned. She suddenly did not know what to say.

There was really…no way of solving rumors like that.

Luna smiled flatly. “When you’ve done bad things, would you loudly proclaim that it was you?“

Shannon was silent for a while. “I understand what you mean.“

Then, she turned and left.

Luna put her headphones back on and continued working.

The door to the design department was closed shut. There was also a bodyguard observing the noise monitor by the entrance.

Irene looked at the bottle of water at hand that Shannon passed to them, not knowing what to do.

Luna…

Not only was she not afraid, but she also wanted to call the police and arrest them for creating noise?

How could this woman be so vile?

“Why are there so many people here?“ a calm woman’s voice rang out just as Irene felt somewhat disoriented.

It was no one other than the woman Luna met at the hotel the day before, the great artist Theo Allen’s mother.

Irene was jolted with excitement upon seeing Celeste. She threw the bottle of water aside and rushed up to Celeste.

“Mrs. Allen, hello! “

Looking at the bruised and battered lady in front of her, Celeste retreated backward a step in slight detest. “You are…?“ “I’m the assistant that Luna fired because I overheard the conversation you had with her yesterday! “

Irene was extremely agitated. “What you said yesterday was all true, right? How dare Luna accuse me of spreading false rumors. She even got people to beat me up…“

Celeste slightly furrowed her brows before, a moment later, she laughed. “I pity you. Not only is Luna so immoral, but she’s also vicious…“

“Mrs. Allen, are you here to look for Luna as well?“ Celeste smiled. “Of course.“

When she returned to the hotel the night before, Theo accidentally overheard her casually mention her meeting with Luna in the hotel to Nathan.

Theo was currently at home on a hunger strike, forcing Celeste to apologize to Luna.

Celeste was there not to truly apologize to Luna, though. She came to make Luna break up with Theo.

Celeste did not expect that there would be a protest outside of Luna’s design department.

Celeste raised her eyes and watched as the people held up their banners, smiling a little before she turned to look at Irene. “Actually, protesting this way won’t bring results. It seems that we’re fated to meet. Why don’t I take you in?“

Irene’s eyes instantly sparkled!

She looked at the design department’s door that was shut tightly. “A—Are…you sure you can take us in?“

“Of course. “ Celeste smiled. She got Irene and the others to keep the banners and the flag, then brought all of them to the design department’s entrance.

The security stopped them by the entrance.

Celeste smiled. She took out the photo she took with Joshua and Alice the day they signed the deal. “ Luna’s project this round needs a rare ore, and I’m the supplier of this ore. What? You won’t even let business partners in?“

The two security guards hesitated for a while. One of them immediately went to report to Shannon.

Shannon, at her level, would not be in touch with the supplier of the ore, but she knew that Luna’s project this time required a type of gorgeous and rare gemstone.

Because of that, Shannon did not consider much. “ Since she’s the supplier, let her in. Perhaps she had problems with the quality that needs to be discussed with Director Luna.“

The guard nodded and left. He respectfully smiled at Celeste. “Please enter.“

The moment the guards opened the door, Irene and the others immediately flocked forward.

The two guards could barely go against more than lo huge men.

Slam!

The door of the design department was instantly forced open. Everyone outside swarmed in.

The relatively small design department was filled with people.

With a sneer, Celeste entered, pushing Luna’s office door open.

In her office, Luna had already taken off her headphones. The sound of the door slamming open was way too loud, so much so that she could still hear it with her headphones on.

Luna raised her eyes and looked at her messages.

Joshua texted, (Even if the apocalypse happens today, you have to work up the work schedule for me.

Luna took a deep breath and sent a message.

(Mrs. Allen is here looking for me. Do you want to come over, too?]

Just when Luna finished sending the message, Celeste had also just arrived at her office desk.

Luna swiftly kept her phone. “Mrs. Allen, can I help you with anything?“

“Of course, you can.“ Celeste sneered. She took out a check from her pocket and slammed it on Luna’s office desk.

“You seduced Theo and got together with him just for the Allen family’s money, didn’t you? Five million is written on this; it’s enough for a broke designer like you to last a few years. Let my son go and break up with him! “

Luna lowered her eyes and looked at the five-million-dollar check. She chuckled.

No matter what, Celeste was Theo’s biological mother. Why would such a kind-hearted, gentleman like Theo have such a dull-witted mother?

Luna sneered and said, “Mrs. Allen, do you feel that your son, the great artist Theo Allen, is only worth five million dollars?”

Then, she took out a check from her desk. She wrote five million and ten thousand on the check, slamming it on top of Celeste’s check.

“I’ll top it up with another ten thousand dollars. Will you sell Theo to me

Celeste’s expression instantly contorted uglily upon Luna’s words.

She glared at Luna fiercely. “What do you mean by this? Are you trying to show off your wealth to me? Isn’t my son the one who gives you your money?“

Luna sneered. “Mrs. Allen, I was wrong in calling you a crazy old hag. I was wrong. I’m sorry.“

Celeste furrowed her brows. Why did Luna suddenly change her attitude and apologized to her?
