Joshua gripped the phone tightly in his hand as he narrowed his eyes. “Who did she invite?“
Luke remained silent for a moment before finally asking, “Does this mean that…not only did Luna not tell you about
the party, but she didn’t invite you either?“
Joshua’s expression darkened as soon as he heard this. “I’m asking you who did she invite.“
Luke could not stop himself from laughing out loud, “Since you’re not invited, I don’t think you have the right to
know who’s on the invitation list.“
Luke’s smile froze on his face as soon as he heard Joshua’s frosty tone. He let out a somewhat awkward cough and
replied, “Well, from what I know as of now, there’s Anne, Bonnie, and the rest, and maybe some of the coworkers
from your company.
“Oh, and also…your nephew Christian.“
A cold look passed through Joshua’s eyes. “Alright.“ With that, he hung up the phone with a loud thud.

A split second later, he dialed an extension. “Please tell Shannon to come into my office.“
Two minutes later, Shannon knocked on Joshua’s office door somewhat timidly. “You asked for me, President
Lynch?“
“Yes.“ Joshua shot her an impassive glance and pointed at the sofa next to him. “Sit down.“
Shannon could not help but feel startled by this. This man was usually cold and emotion less toward any woman
apart from Luna, so why was he acting so courteous to her all of a sudden?
Shannon had been working in Lynch Group for a while now, but she had never seen President Lynch acting this way
before.
She pursed her lips and sat down on the sofa nervously. “President Lynch, the reason you asked for me…is it
because you have something to tell me?“
“Yes.“ Joshua leaned against the sofa gracefully and swept his impassive glance across Shannon’s nervous face. “I
wanted to talk to you about some private matters.“
Shannon could feel her heart leap into her throat. “ What…what kind of private matters?“
“Luna is hosting a small party at Blue Bay Villa tonight; did she invite you?“
Luke had mentioned that Luna had also invited some of her coworkers at Lynch Group. Shannon had always been
Luna’s trusty sidekick, so if she were to invite her coworkers over to her party, then Shannon would definitely be on
the list.
Shannon froze for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Joshua wanted to ask her about Luna.
She let out an exhale and replied, “She…called me
just now and told me to go to Blue Bay Villa at 7 pm tonight.“
“Alright.“ Joshua picked up his phone and barked an order, “Notify the accounting department to increase
Shannon’s monthly salary by 3o% from now on.“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as he hung up, he met Shannon’s surprised gaze and said, “Call Luna on speakerphone right
now. Tell her that you’re planning to bring a friend to her party tonight.“
Shannon froze for a moment, then nodded and dialed Luna’s number.
At this moment, Luna and Christian had finished grocery shopping and had just arrived back at Blue Bay Villa.
A while ago, someone had accidentally bumped into her at the supermarket, spilling a jar of pasta sauce all over
her, so as soon as she got home, Luna immediately jumped into the shower.
As she was halfway up the stairs, Luna suddenly recalled that her phone had run out of battery, so she instructed
Christian to help her charge her phone in the living room.
After all, there were many people coming to her party tonight, so she had to make sure she was contactable.
Christian took Luna’s phone into the living room
and plopped down on the sofa. As soon as it was plugged in, Luna’s phone received a call.
It was from Shannon.
Christian knew who Shannon was, so he immediately picked up the call without a second thought. “Hello?”
Shannon and Joshua both frowned when Christian’s clear voice rang out from the other end of the line.
Shannon was so startled that she stammered, “Um, I’m Shannon, you…who are you?”
“I’m Christian, of course.”
