Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 179

“It’s… a long story.“ Zach scratched his head, embarrassed. “I know that it might seem a bit hard to believe, but we’re both good people. We’ve always obeyed every single one of Boss’ commands. We know that you’re related to our boss, so we’ll surely try our best to take care of you! “

Luna froze in astonishment. It took a long while before she finally forced out, “Thank you…“

She followed Wesley into the building and gave herself a small knock on the head. Since when did Neil have two burly ‘brothers’ like Zach and Yuri?

“Ms. Luna not only knows our boss, Mr. Lynch personally, but seems to be close with our security guards, too,“ remarked Wesley pointedly as they got into the elevator. He pressed a button for one of the floors and added, “You shou1d’ve joined us earlier. If you did, you probably would have held a permanent position by now, instead of working as an intern.“

There was a hint of sarcasm in Wesley’s tone. Luna gave him a faint smile. “I ‘m happy to be working as a n intern. I get paid the same amount, but the workload is lighter. It sounds good to me.“

“I’m sure that Mr. Fisher’s work must be very consuming. Besides having to work, you also have to deal with a lot of your colleagues’ problems. It sounds very tiring.“

Wesley’s expression changed upon hearing this. He glared at Luna and said nothing in response.

The design department was located on the 18th floor.

The elevator stopped at the fifth floor, and a beautiful lady walked in holding a cup of hot coffee.

“Mr. Fisher,“ she greeted, giving Wesley a polite smile. “I was in the CEO’s office just now and bumped into Lucas. Apparently, Mr. Lynch has employed a new female worker?“ Her voice was very sweet and pleasant.

Wesley pursed his lips in Luna’s direction. “This is her. Let me introduce you. She’s the new intern working in the design department. Her name is Luna.“

Wesley turned to Luna and resumed, “Luna, this is Mr. Lynch’s new assistant, Courtney Johnson.“

Courtney gave Luna a once-over and beamed at her. “ Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Courtney.“

Luna lifted her head to greet the woman, but when her gaze fell onto Courtney’s face, she froze.

Courtney looked a lot like how Luna used to before she underwent her surgery. Luna felt as if she were staring at her past self.

She used to have features like Courtney’s: a charming smile and clear eyes as riveting as hers. It was a shame that…

Luna glanced at her reflection in the elevator mirror. It was a shame that her new face was much prettier than her old one. Still…

“Luna.“ Wesley’s voice pulled Luna back to reality. Unfortunately, when Luna came to, Courtney had already got off the elevator.

Wesley shot her a disdainful glance. “I know that you’re friends with Mr. Lynch, but that doesn’t excuse your rude behavior. Courtney was introducing herself to you. Couldn’t you have at least answered her?“

Luna paused and let out a dry laugh. “I’m sorry, I forgot.“

She was not lying. Seeing Courtney’s face had brought up so many memories of the past, good ones and bad ones alike.

“I don’t understand why you’re so haughty, “ said Wesley as he rolled his eyes. “Just because you know Mr. Lynch doesn’t mean you can treat people like this. Mr. Lynch is very strict and particular about things like this. Besides, the reason why Courtney got employed as the CEO’s assistant is that she looks a lot like his ex-wife! You have to be careful when you come across her again in the future. You never know if she’ll turn out to be the new Mrs. Lynch.“

Luna curled her lips into a smile. “Don’t be silly.“

Courtney resembled the old Luna only in appearance. Besides, many years ago, Joshua had looked at that exact face with eyes full of contempt. What made anyone think he would want to marry another woman who looked like Luna?

“What do you mean?“
