The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 104 “What did you say?” Avia shouted in disbelief. “Have you told her about my identity?” “| already did, but-" “No, no, no...” Avia shook her head repeatedly, interrupting the person on the other end of the phone at a rapid pace. She glanced atwith guilt in her eyes, then quickly turned off the speaker, raising the phone to her ear and deliberately elevating her tone.

“You surely didn’t inform Nora Stern about my identity. Contact her again. | believe if she knows I'm the Luna of Dark Moon Pack, Alpha Nathan's wife, she'll be more than willing to serve me.” After finishing the call, Avia immediately hung up. Gripping her phone tightly, she looked atwith unsteady breath. Despite her face turning red, she tried to maintain a proud demeanor.

“Nora Stern will definitely agree to design jewelry for my engagement banquet,” she emphasized.

| smirked, using silence instead of mockery. Avia, infuriated, stomped her foot.

The salesperson asked again, “So, miss, do you still want to purchase this diamond necklace?”, “Buy! Of course, | want to buy it. It’s just three billion; | have plenty of money,” Avia said without hesitation, straightening her chest, and attempting to salvage her lost face in this way.

Her maid whispered behind her, “Luna, there's only three billion in the card Alpha gave you. If you buy this necklace, you'll be out of money.” “Shut up!” Avia glared at the maid.

The salesperson reached for the black card, but Avia held it too tightly, making it difficult to pull.

“Miss, please loosen your grip; | need to go to the cashier,” the salesperson requested.

Avia stared fixedly at the black card, her lips turning pale as she bit them, unwilling to let go.

“Maybe you should reconsider. After all, three billion is not a small amount; it’s not embarrassing if you can’t afford it,” I said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Avia’s eyebrows almost shot up. She immediately released her grip, disdainfully saying, “Three billion is just a small amount for me.” The salesperson took the black card, swiftly went to the counter, and completed the transaction in a few seconds.

I watched Avia’s face turn from red to white and then blue.

| sighed silently, thinking, why bother? Just to provoke me? The salesperson quickly packed the necklace, along with that black card, and handed it to Avia.

Avia stared at the packaged bag, her eyes turning red. Unfortunately, the salesperson was oblivious and untimely asked, “Miss, we have many other jewelry pieces in our store. Would you like to have a look? If you spend another fifty million, you can becthe suprmember of our store.” “...No, no need,” Avia feigned composure. “I mean, | don’t really like the other jewelry in your store.” “Ah, okay,” the salesperson stopped talking.

| smiled with narrowed eyes, walking slowly to Avia. “If you don’t like this jewelry store, there are other shops in the mall. April and | have plenty of time; how about we accompany you for more shopping?” “Who wants your company?” Avia clenched her fist.

“I thought you liked the things | picked,” | teased, tilting my head.

Avia gavea fierce look, and with her ten-centimeter high heels, she quickly left. “How could Alpha Nathan like this type of woman? Arrogant, ruthless, and vain; truly a unique taste,” April commented as she walked up from behind me.

| chuckled and withdrew my gaze. “Let's go, we can check out other places.” After a morning of shopping, both April and | were hungry, so we went to a nearby three-star Michelin restaurant.

What surprisedwas that Avia and her maid were also dining at this restaurant. More precisely, Avia was having her meal while her maid stood by her side, serving her.

The waiter seatedand April very close to Avia, just across from her, so | could clearly hear Avia’s voice as she spoke.

She was on the phone, “What did you say? Nora Stern still refuses? You're useless! What else can you do? I'm telling you, you're fired!” The phone slammed onto the floor, instantly becoming unusable.

The maid immediately consoled Avia, “Luna, please don’t be angry. There are many other designers in the world; we can always find another one.” “What do you know?” Avia glared at the maid. “Do you understand what Nora Stern represents in the jewelry design world? Only her designs can showcase my status! Anyway, anyone else is unacceptable.’ Avia’s eyes shifted, landing on the diamond necklace she had just bought from the jewelry store. She raised an eyebrow.

“Givethe phone; I'll personally contact Nora.” The maid hesitated, looking troubled.

Avia roared, ignoring decorum, “Damn it! Can't you hear me? Givethe phone!” “The, phone is broken because you threw it,” the maid stammered, her gaze fixed on the unfortunate phone on the floor.

Avia choked up, and after a few seconds, she shouted again, “Then use your phone, you idiot!” The maid hastily handed her phone to Avia.

Soon, Avia dialed Nora's stunumber.

“Hello, I'm Avia, the Luna of Dark Moon Pack. | have an order and would like to discuss it with designer Stern.” Avia changed her fiery temperament from earlier into a gentle and polite attitude, probably fearing Nora might continue to reject her.

But the next second, she seemed to have heard something, gripping the tablecloth as if lit by a firecracker.

“Appointment? Do you think, with my status, | need an appointment to see Nora Stern?” “She’s busy? Am | not busy too? I've called you many times already!” “You go tell Nora that just two hours ago, | spent a whopping three billion to buy the diamond necklace she designed. I'm now your big customer, and | think that’s enough to make her contactwillingly!” After finishing the call, Avia arrogantly hung up.

Returning the phone to the maid, she picked up her utensils, calmly cut a piece of steak, and put it in her mouth, savoring it slowly.

Her confident demeanor showed her certainty that Nora would contact her voluntarily.

| sighed and shook my head. “Avia still doesn’t understand Nora.” Even though | tried to lower my voice, Avia heard it. She looked up, and her eyes seemed to turn into burning fireballs.

“Diana, it's you again! Why can’t you leave us alone?” | pointed at myself, innocently intending to speak, but Avia stormed over to our table with anger.

“What did you mean just now?” She slammed my table forcefully. “What do you mean by saying | don’t understand Nora?” “My point is-" “Watch and learn!” Avia interruptedwith crossed arms. “In less than ten minutes, Nora Stern will personally contactand beg to design jewelry for me! By then, you can only envy me!” “Envy you for what?” | felt puzzled.

Regardless of whether Nora designs jewelry for her, it has nothing to do with me.

“Because I'll be Nathan's most beautiful fiancée, and you won't even have a chance to get engaged to him.” | pursed my lips, feeling that Avia must be delusional. | lowered my head, ignored her, and focused on eating the food on my plate.

At that moment, my phone rang.

Avia looked even more triumphant.

“It must be Nora Stern’s call,” she said, reaching out her right hand to her maid. However, the maid hesitated and didn’t hand her the phone.

Turning her head impatiently, she looked at the maid, “What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to die? Givethe phone!” “Well...” The maid looked embarrassed and whispered, “It's not my phone ringing.” “What? How is that possible? | clearly heard—" “It's my phone ringing.” | lazily glanced at the phone screen, raised an eyebrow, “Oh, it's indeed a call from Nora Stern.” The expression on Avia’s face seemed about to crack.

Understandingly, | said, “Since you're so eager to talk to Nora, I'll indulge you.” | tapped to answer, then put it on speaker. Nora's excited voice cthrough the phone.

“Diana, I've arrived at Blade Moon Pack! | can see you soon! | miss you so much! Ill tell you, | postponed my work for the entire next month just to cback and be with you! How about that? Aren't you touched?”
