    Chapter 2002


    "Luna, what exactly has Arabe done for you that you''re going to bat for her like this?"


    "She''s easy on the eyes, I like doing favors for pretty girls. Can''t help it if you''re not on the same level."


    "You—you''re attacking me personally now."


    "And what if I am?" Luna shoved her towards the elevator doors.


    Just then, with a ding, the elevator opened and Romeo, fresh from a meeting, stepped out.


    "Romeo, she''s been bullying me." Luna dashed over and clung to Romeo''s arm, tears streaming down


    her face, putting on the most pitiful act. "She says she wants to be yourdy, and I said no. Then she


    got all pushy, tried to throw me out, iming that she''ll be the one calling the shots around here soon."


    Harriet was taken aback by how adept Luna had be at turning the tables, and she hurried to


    rify, "Romeo, I didn''t."


    "If you didn''t, then why is my sister crying?" Romeo''s tone was full of defense as he nced at Luna''s


    red-rimmed, woeful eyes, then turned to Harriet with a frown. "What are you doing here?"


    "I''m back in town, came to see you. Brought you somefort food, but..."


    "She brought some snacks for you, and I was gonna be nice and take them to your office, but she


    insisted on going in herself. I told her, even as your sister, we can''t just barge into your office, gotta


    respect your privacy. Guess what she said? She imed that one day she''d be yours, so barging in


    now orter doesn''t make a difference."


    Harriet was about to burst with anger, "Romeo, don''t listen to her nonsense."


    This darn Luna, such a master at spinning tales!


    "Enough." Romeo didn''t want to hear any more of Harriet''s side of the story. "Without my permission,


    don''te around here anymore."


    Seizing her chance, Luna clung tighter to his arm and asked, "Romeo, am I still okay toe by?"


    "Of course, you can."


    Luna, emboldened by her brother''s support, gave Harriet a triumphant, taunting look and then

    pretended to be scared. "Romeo, you better send her away now. If you hadn''t shown up when you did,


    she would have hit me. You don''t know how vicious she was, and now, pretending to be all sweet in


    front of you."


    Harriet was livid, Luna was so infuriating!


    "Carl." With a single word from Romeo, Carl hurried over.


    "Romeo, don''t be mad at Carl. It was Harriet who warned him not to intervene, iming she''d be the


    futuredy of the group. She threatened Carl''s job if he helped me!"


    "Luna—"


    "Romeo, even Alice at the front desk couldn''t stop her. She pushed Alice down so hard, she couldn''t


    get up. I''m worried Alice might have a fracture, we should get her to the hospital. Maybe don''t dock her


    pay today."


    Romeo nodded, "Alright."


    Carl struggled to keep a straight face, "Ms. Monroe, right this way, please."


    "Romeo." Harriet watched as Luna walked away still clinging to Romeo''s arm, her anger simmering.
