Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1638
Joshua was acting coldly toward her and even told her to bring the food home and eat it herself.
No matter how oblivious Cheryl was, she knew she had misunderstood Joshua’s intentions.
However, she did not want to give up on this opportunity.
Therefore, she let out an exhale and said, trying to counter Joshua’s domineering aura, “President Lynch, you told me to buy two portions of food, and I… I can’t finish it myself. Can you…”
“You can share it with your friend or throw it away if you want.” Joshua reached out to pick up the newspaper from the table and added, “Take the trash out when you leave as well.”
Cheryl’s fingers curled tightly around the handle of the takeaway bag. “Alright then…I’ll be off now. Take care, President Lynch.”
With that, she glanced at Joshua once more with a look of reluctance.
At this moment, he was reading the newspaper, his legs crossed elegantly.
This man was attractive no matter which angle one looked at him, but despite being his secretary for six months, she had no opportunity to get closer to him at all.
Cheryl left the house angrily.
As soon as he heard the door close behind her, Joshua put down the newspaper and picked up his phone. “Transfer Cheryl to another department.”
Lucas froze when he heard this. “But why, Sir? Cheryl is the secretary that has been with you the longest over the last six months. She’s kind, considerate, and intelligent…”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and replied impassively, “She made Luna jealous.”
Lucas fell silent upon hearing this. A split second later, he let out a cough and said, “My suggestion is that…you shouldn’t transfer Cheryl away.
“If Ma’am is jealous of her, it means that she still cares about you, and maybe Cheryl’s presence can make her return to your side sooner…”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Do you think that after what happened between Luna and me, I need a strange woman to reassert my position in Luna’s heart?
“Luna is the only woman I want in my life, and we still have a long way to go. I have plenty of ways to get her to return to my side; I don’t need to use tricks like this.”
Lucas let out a sigh. “Alright. I’ll get on it immediately.”
After coming out of Joshua’s house, Luna suddenly realized that she had lost her phone when she was kidnapped the night before.
The clothes she wore were brand new, so there could not possibly be any money in them.
Luna tried to hail some taxis, but all of them rejected her either because her house was too far away or because she did not have any money on her.
After being rejected by the eighth taxi, Luna let out an exhale and turned to glance at Joshua’s house in the distance.
Should she borrow some money from Joshua?
However, Joshua’s new girlfriend had just entered, so it would be inappropriate for her to return.
Just as Luna was contemplating what to do, she suddenly caught sight of Joshua’s new girlfriend storming out of the house in a huff.
She tossed the takeaway bag into the trash can angrily, then stormed in Luna’s direction.
Luna furrowed her brows, and as soon as she saw how furious the woman looked, she could not help wondering if she and Joshua had gotten into a fight.
Had they argued because of her?
She had not meant for that to happen at all.
Just as Luna was thinking about this, Cheryl lifted her head, and the two of them met each other’s gaze.
Luna let out an apologetic smile and turned out to continue hailing a taxi.
Cheryl snickered and walked over, her arms crossed in front of her chest. “According to how wealthy President Lynch is, he should’ve gifted you a car after finishing his business with you last night, so what are you doing here, hailing a taxi so early in the morning?
“Did you somehow fail to satisfy him last night? That shouldn’t be the case. From the way you look, you must be one of the top ones.”
Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this. She lifted her head to stare coldly at Cheryl. “What did you just say?”
