Chapter 865

As soon as she heard Charmaine’s words, Shannon narrowed her eyes and strode toward Charmaine.

Before any of them could react, she swung her arm up and slapped Charmaine across her face.

A deafening slap echoed through the hallway.

Shannon looked down at Charmaine and said, “ Director Luna had hurt her arm, so President Lynch is
sending her to the hospital. How dare you even suggest anything like that and perpetuate rumors about
the two of them? Mr. Lynch has a girlfriend now, but even if he doesn’t, he won’t engage in relationships
with Director Luna or any other employee. This is the respect every CEO should show to their
employees!

“Not only are you disrespecting Director Luna, but President Lynch as well! How dare you?“

Charmaine was so stunned by this that she did not even know how to react.

She felt a little confused by Shannon’s words. It seemed like Shannon was scolding her yet, at the same
time…indirectly reprimanding Joshua.

Joshua was standing in the elevator, still carrying Luna in his arms when this happened. “Let’s go now, “
he spoke, his expression dark.

Shannon let out an exhale, then turned around to shoot Charmaine a murderous glare. “If it weren’t for
the fact that I’m rushing to take Director Luna to the hospital, you won’t hear the end of it!“

With that, she turned and got into the elevator.

As soon as the door closed, Luna closed her eyes and muttered, “Thank you.“

Shannon knew what she was talking about. She replied, feeling a little sympathetic toward Luna, “ Too
bad Zayne and Samson weren’t there. If they were…“



She did not finish her sentence.

Joshua, however, snickered when he heard this. “So what if they were there?“

The elevator soon arrived at the lobby.

Joshua cast Shannon a cold glance and said, “Take the rest of the day off.“ Then, he strode out of the
elevator, still carrying Luna, without looking back.

Shannon stood in front of the elevator, watching Luna and Joshua leave, and bit down on her lip
nervously.

Upstairs.

Charmaine’s cheek still burned from Shannon’s slap.

She could not believe what had just happened, so she immediately took out her phone and called Fiona.

“Fiona! “ wailed Charmaine as soon as the call was connected. “Guess what I just saw? I saw President
Lynch…carrying Luna into the elevator! “

As soon as she heard this, Fiona fell into silence. After a moment, however, she asked coldly, “And then
what happened?“

Seeing that Fiona was interested to hear what she had to say, Charmaine immediately continued, “
When I saw President Lynch carrying Luna, I was upset. After all, President Lynch is your boyfriend, so
how can he be carrying a b*tch like Luna? I immediately stopped them and questioned what he was
doing…”

Charmaine started sobbing as she said, “Do you know what happened next? Luna’s subordinate,
Shannon, came out of nowhere and slapped me! She told me not to spread rumors about them… She



said that Luna was injured and that President Lynch was just sending her to the hospital. How is that

possible, Fiona? Luna…”

Charmaine initially thought that if she told Fiona of her harrowing experience, Fiona would pity her and
stick up for her in the future, seeing that they were friends, after all, but to her surprise—

“Shannon was right, ” Fiona said in an icy tone.
