Chapter 3023
Lucas was frozen in shock as he watched Luna saunter away.
After Luna disappeared into the elevator, he finally broke out of his stupor. He glanced first at the food
container in his hands, then at the sight of Joshua chatting with the woman in his office, and
immediately understood what had happened.
He smacked his forehead in regret and quickly strode into the room.
"Mr. Bean, why did you bring an extra portion of food when Joshua and I are almost done with our
meal?" the woman asked, frowning as she glanced at the container in Lucas' hand.
Lucas rolled his eyes at her-just out of her sight-and placed the container in front of Joshua. "Sir, I ran
into Ma'am outside the door just now. She came to bring you your lunch."
With that, he glanced at the woman and added with a hint of contempt, "I'm thinking that Ma'am
must've arrived just in time to see you enjoying your lunch with Ms. Moore here and got the wrong
idea."
As he said this, he could not help rolling his eyes at the woman. "Ms. Moore, you shouldn't have done
this. Since you came all the way to visit your cousin, why did you choose only to visit Sir here at his
office instead of visiting Ma'am as well? Now that Ma'am has misunderstood, they might even get into a
fight, and if that happens, how are you going to continue working here?"
With that, Lucas turned to stare at Joshua. "You, too, Sir. Even if Ms. Moore here is just your cousin,
you shouldn't have chosen to have lunch with her in private, in your office like this. Everyone else will
get the wrong idea. And besides, it's clear that you didn't tell Ma'am that your cousin, Ms.
Tara Moore has come to visit! Seeing that Ma'am wasn't aware of Ms. Moore's arrival, she must've
misinterpreted things when she bumped into this!"
Joshua furrowed his brows, glancing at Lucas.
Lucas had been working for him for so long that they had gotten way too comfortable with each other.
Although
Lucas was the assistant and he was the CEO, he could not believe that Lucas had assumed a position
of criticizing him.

Joshua glanced at Tara with a frown. "You're right."
With that, he stood up, grabbed his coat, and snatched the food container that Lucas brought to him. "I
need to go home now."
Tara froze, then got to her feet as well. "Joshua, are you going home to sweet-talk your wife? Do you
need me to go with you and explain everything? Since this was all my fault, I should bear responsibility
too, right? Come on, let me go home with you."
Lucas rolled his eyes when he heard this. He could not believe how shameless Tara was!
He thought Christian was bad enough, but it turned out the other member of the Moore family, Tara,
was even more shameless than him!
"There's no need for that," said Joshua as he sauntered out of the room. "I can explain it to her by
myself. Luna isn't an unreasonable person."
All of a sudden, he paused in his footsteps and added, "You should stay here. Lucas will tell you what
to do."
Lucas balked at this.
He was supposed to babysit this woman while Joshua was gone? He would rather die!
