Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 171

Alarm bells rang in Luna’s head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, “ she immediately denied.

“You know exactly what I ‘m talking about.“ Adrian shifted his position and leaned back gracefully against the couch. “Ms. Luna, please don’t forget. I was once a jewelry designer myself before Joshua’s mother passed away. Besides, I have a lot of connections in this industry.“

He curled his lips into a smile before he continued, “ I’ve read through your résumé. You tried to conceal your true identity, so I’m sure the last thing you want is for me to expose you here.“

Luna frowned. After the initial wave of shock passed, she now felt strangely calm. She looked at Adrian warily and said in a low voice, “How did you know? “

Why was Adrian investigating her?

“In case you’re wondering, I wasn’t investigating you on purpose.“ Adrian let out a small laugh. “I know that Nellie is the true identity of the famous jewelry designer known as Y, and because of this, I did a lot of research about her past designs. I discovered that Moon used to be her teacher, and after asking around, I managed to get my hands on some information about Moon through one of my connections in Europe.“

Adrian glanced at Luna and added, “Now I know the real reason why Ms. Luna came all the way to become a maid at Blue Bay Villa. You didn’t want to see Nellie’s talent go to waste, didn’t you?”

Luna frowned at his words, but as she contemplated for a moment, she confirmed that Adrian had yet to discover her true identity. He merely thought that she was a determined jewelry designer who had returned from abroad because she was unwilling to let go of an exceptionally gifted student.

Luna felt a surge of relief at this realization. She let out a deep breath and said, ”You’re right, Nellie’s talent is truly remarkable. I’ve never come across anyone as gifted as her, but I’ve already tendered my resignation at Blue Bay Villa. I’m not going to be teaching her anymore.”

It was true that Nellie’s talent for jewelry design was unparalleled and beyond comparison, but there was not much that Luna could teach her. As long as Nellie continued to realize and develop her potential, she could one day become an outstanding designer.

Adrian heaved a deep sigh. ”I don’t want you to give up on Nellie just like this. She’s only six years old, and she has limitless potential, so she’ll need a good teacher to guide her. However, I know that a master like you shouldn’t be holed up here as a teacher and servant. That wouldn’t be right at all, which is why

He stared right into Luna’s eyes. ”I want to offer you a job at the Lynch Group’s jewelry branch. You can work and coach Nellie at the same time.”

Luna halted at the suggestion. ”Mr. Lynch, this sounds like an excellent idea, but… ” She gave him a bitter smile. ”Joshua would never agree to this.”

Joshua was wary and hostile toward her the entire afternoon. He even attributed Nellie’s sudden insistence in attending Neil’s school, as well as Adrian’s suggestion of letting Luna become Nellie’s teacher, to her doing. Therefore, she did not think that Joshua would agree to this decision.

“Ms. Luna, I’ll take care of Joshua. All that matters is whether or not you want to take up my offer,“ insisted the smiling Adrian.

Luna frowned and lifted her head to glance at him. After a moment’s hesitation, she let out an exhale. “ Alright, I’ll take it.“

Taking up a position at Joshua’s company had always been a part of her plan. Even though it was a little different from what she initially devised, it would suffice.

“Alright, “ Adrian said, letting out a sigh of relief. “Ms. Luna, please wait here for a moment. I ’11 go up to talk to him.“ Immediately, he got up and disappeared up the stairs.

The living room was empty apart from Luna. She closed her eyes and leaned back against the couch, but as she grew tired and bored, she got up and headed into the kitchen.
