Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 198

Everyone watched as Joshua carried Luna across the lobby and into the elevator, going up to the President’s office on the top floor.

Everything felt surreal to Luna the moment her feet landed on the ground. It was like a dream, but a much crueler one.

After all, in the dream, Joshua was carrying Luna Gibson, but in reality, Joshua was carrying the current Luna.

“Do I need to give you some time to reminisce?“

Joshua’s low and cold voice pulled Luna back to reality, and she abruptly came to her senses as she met his cold eyes.

She smiled awkwardly. “I’m just a little taken aback. We’re just putting on an act, but I didn’t expect it to be such a huge one.“

Joshua’s eyes dimmed a little. He did it on purpose.

Since he was putting on an act with Luna to get Luna Gibson’s attention so she would return to him as soon as possible,  he had  to truly make her jealous.

After Luna Gibson left back then, he went through her computer, diary, and social media. He saw how she said she liked being under the limelight, and she also liked him carrying her proudly as he walked through the crowd.

That was why he deliberately arranged for it that day.

He even got people to take photos to post them on the internet, especially foreign websites. He hoped Luna Gibson would see it. She must have seen it. She cared about him so much; she would definitely be jealous.

At that thought, he calmly lifted his head and looked at Luna. “You must know that no matter how big an act we put, the relationship we have is fake.“

Luna paused for a while before she smiled. “Of course. I know that it’s fake.“

Was any part of Joshua real?

“You can go back to work.“ He lowered his gaze and flipped through the documents in his hands. “If your colleagues ask about this, do you know how to answer?“

“I do.“

When Luna got back to the design department, the group of designers huddled together to gossip about her in half-whispers.

Upon seeing her return, Bonnie cleared her throat. The crowd instantly dispersed.

One of the colleagues boldly came over and asked, “ Luna, what relationship do you have with President Lynch?“

“The one you just saw.“ Luna swiftly arranged the things on her desk. With a smile on her face, she added, “He carried me to work. What do you think? “

“But, “ that person paused for a while. “All these years, President Lynch has always been deeply in love with his wife. His love for his wife is as deep as the ocean. Aren’t you afraid that President Lynch

will treat you as a…substitute?“

Upon those words, everyone’s interest was piqued. They tried to listen as closely as possible.

Everyone seemed to hold their breath, afraid they would miss out on the gossip of the century.

Luna nonchalantly shrugged. “I don’t care whether I’m a substitute or not.“

“But, being a substitute is a miserable thing.“ Luna’s female colleague next to her sighed and said, “Luna, it’s not worth it.“

“Heh.“ Luna calmly lifted her eyes and looked at her. “Weren’t you guys talking about Courtney yesterday? Didn’t you all think she’d be Luna Gibson’s substitute because she looked like her? So why is it that you think it’s an utmost honor if it was her, but if it were me, you find it pathetic and that it’s not worth it?“
