Tara's smile froze on her face. She glanced sheepishly at Joshua, then let out an awkward cough.
"Well, I'm not hungry at all. I just wanted to know if you guys were. Well, if none of us want to eat, we
don't have to go anywhere. Shall I send you all to the hotel now?”
"There's no need for that." Gwen chuckled as she glanced at Tara. "We can find our way. Feel free to
attend to your own duties, Ms. Moore."
Luna nodded in agreement, then turned to smile at Joshua. ” Aren't you here to help Tara out with her
business? The fact that she came as soon as we landed must mean there's something urgent that
requires your help, why don’t you follow her back to the office while Gwen and I go to the hotel
ourselves?"
Tara's entire face lit up when she heard this. "That's a great idea!"
With that, she could not help adding, "You're such an open- minded person, Luna! If this had happened
to someone else, she would misinterpret my intentions as trying to get close to her husband and would
refuse to let Joshua come with me! I'm certainly impressed by how trusting and generous you are,
Luna!"
"Are you implying that you work frequently with other people's husbands, Tara?" Gwen raised her

Tara was so infuriated by Gwen's snarky comment that she immediately whipped her head around to
stare at Joshua." Joshua! Did you hear what she just said to me? Do something!"
Joshua could not help chuckling when he saw how red Tara's face was from her anger. "She's just
messing with you. Besides, she's Luna's friend, and I'm certainly in no place to reprimand her."
With that, he glanced at the time and stared at Tara solemnly. "Tara, I've already told you not to come
pick us up when we arrive, and yet you did so anyway.
"Is there truly a reason for you to be here, or are you just playing hooky again? Didn't I tell you before
that the key to running a successful company is to treat it like your second home and show up, no
matter rain or shine? Have you
forgotten everything I taught you?"
Tara's heart sank when she heard this. She bit her lip nervously, then replied rather hesitantly, "Is that
what you think of me, Joshua? Of course I remember everything you told me, but there's a reason I
