The glimmer of hope in Luna’s eyes dimmed as she heard Joshua’s response. Her hand started to shake.

Luna let out an exhale and tried to compose herself so as not to let Joshua hear how devastated she was. “ Mr. Lynch, even if you think I’m just worrying too much, I still have my reasons for doing this.“

“Since I’m willing to give Mrs. Lynch all the credit for my hard work, isn’t that a bonus for both of you? If that happens, she can work for Lynch Group without fearing anyone’s opinion…“

Joshua leaned against his car seat and chuckled. “If I want to let my wife work for me, I wouldn’t even care what any of my employees think.“

Luna’s hand stiffened.

Joshua continued in a low voice, “She’s my wife; she can take over any job position as long as I see fit. She doesn’t need to take credit for your work to do so.“

Luna felt as though something had hit her.

He was right.

As long as Joshua wanted to, he could offer Alice any position he wanted in the company. He would even let her become CEO if that was what he wanted, and no one else had a say in that.
