Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 476
“This will be my office now.“
Luna froze. After a long while, she widened her eyes in delight. “Are you here to work?“
Alice shot her an irritated glare. “Of course!“
Alice did not know why Joshua had suddenly insisted on sending her to work in Luna’s department, and as her assistant, no less! She slept so soundly that morning when, all of a sudden, Joshua woke her and demanded she go to work. Of course, she was frustrated by that, but she did not dare protest.
What ruffled Alice’s feathers the most was Joshua’s instructions. He had informed her beforehand that no matter what, she would have to obey Luna’s orders.
The worst part was that Joshua did not allow her to take credit for Luna’s work after the project was completed.
Alice could not understand any of this. She was the CEO’s wife, for God’s sake! How could she work as a lowly assistant, and for Luna, no less?
Although her official job title was as an assistant, Alice knew that her responsibilities were to take care of everything Luna did not want to or did not have the time to. She could not even be late or leave work early. No matter how late it was, as long as Luna was still in the office, Alice also had to be there.
Alice grew more and more frustrated when she thought of it. She angrily hurled the rest of the items
on Luna’s desk onto the floor. ”Get rid of all these useless things ! I don’t want to see them anywhere near me! ”
Luna felt her mood lift when she registered how infuriated Alice was. She smiled, kneeled onto the ground, and picked up the documents Alice had strewn all over the floor. ”What position did Mr. Lynch assign you to do?”
Alice rolled her eyes in indignation. ”Your assistant.” Assistant?
Shannon, who had hovered outside the door all this while, could not take it anymore. She walked in and helped Luna pick up her things, saying pointedly, ” From the way you’re acting, I would’ve thought you were here to take over as project director. Instead, it turns out you’re nothing but a lowly assistant.”
Luna lowered her gaze and continued to pick up the rest of her stuff. ”Be careful what you say.”
Luna was secretly overjoyed that Alice would be working with her. Luna thought that it was better for Alice to be spending most of her time at the company instead of at home with the kids so she could keep an eye on her.
”Director Luna, you’ re too kind. ” Shannon tidied up the documents and could not help but added, ”This is the first time I’ve ever come across such a bad- tempered assistant. I can’t believe an assistant would dare to throw the director’s documents all over the floor.”
Alice immediately scowled, ”What did you just say?” She stood up and strode over to them in her high heels. “Don’t forget I’m the CEO’s wife! The Lynch Group belongs to my husband and me. I could get you fired as easy as that! “
Shannon instinctively frowned when she heard Alice’s arrogant tone. Although she was angry, she kept her mouth shut and did not say anything else. She finished picking up the documents from the floor and quickly left the room.
Luna stacked the documents back into a neat pile and smiled at Alice. “Do you want this office? If you do, you can have it. I’ll sit outside instead.“
Alice rolled her eyes and got up from her chair. “It’s not like I want this stupid office anyway.“
When she stood up, Alice caught sight of a framed photo on Luna’s desk. It was a picture of her and Neil, but he looked paler and sicklier in the photo than in real life.
Alice narrowed her eyes and picked up the photo. “ Neil looks good in this.“
As soon as Luna caught sight of what she was holding, her eyes widened. “Put down that photo.“
“Why should I?“ Alice sneered, then forcefully smashed the photo down onto the ground. A split second later, she stepped on the photograph, her pointy heels puncturing right into the smiling faces.
She clamped a hand onto her mouth, feigning surprise. “Oh, no! I accidentally dropped your photo frame, and now it’s broken! “
