Chapter 38
The name Castlerock Corporation surprised both Luna and her father.
“Danni, what did you say?” Luna asked with furrowed brows.
“Castlerock Corporation just sent us an invitation to the guild’s annual dinner!” Danni then put the invitation card on the desk.
“The invitation to the Business Guild’s annual dinner?” Luna glanced at the invitation and was shocked. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
In previous years, Solomon had always found a way to keep them from attending the annual dinner, but this year, they received three invitation cards.
What could have changed Castlerock Corporation’s mind?
Harry held the invitation card in her hand and had a closer look at it. There’s a stamp of the Business Guild on the invitation. It can’t be wrong.”
Luna pondered for a moment before she asked, “Danni, did the
representative from Castlerock Corporation say anything when they delivered the invitations?”
“Yeah. The person who came by had a message from Mr. Solomon Stormbrew. He wants you to attend the annual dinner with Mr. Moonshade, Ms. Crestfall, or you will not be granted entry.”
“Now I see. Solomon Stormbrew is planning to embarrass us at the annual dinner!” Harry’s expression turned gloomy.
Harry saw Andrius as a stain on the family and thought that he could keep their relationship out of the public eye for as long as possible, but Solomon was now summoning him personally and wanted him to
attend the dinner together with them.
It was an obvious attempt to embarrass the Crestfalls in front of many influential figures.
Luna said with gritted teeth, “This is our only chance to join the Business Guild. No matter what Solomon is planning, we have to attend the dinner with Andrius.”
“D*mmit!”
Harry slammed the desk angrily. He wished he could cut Solomon into a million pieces and feed him to the fish. However, he also understood that this would be their only chance to join the Business Guild.c
“Dad, for the sake of our family, we have to do this,” Luna persuaded her father.
“We have no other options,” Harry said as he left Luna’s office with al heavy heart.
Luna felt terrible when she saw the defeat in her father’s figure. Her father had always been a proud man who valued social recognition, but Solomon’s move was like a huge slap in his face.
“Just you wait, Solomon Stormbrew!” Luna swore inwardly.
At this time, Andrius came into the office.
Luna glared at him and said coldly, “Andrius, do you know what time it
is?”
“10.30 a.m.,” Andrius said.
“You do know how to read the time. Andrius, I have told you before that you are not allowed to be late, be absent from work, or leave early, yet you break the rules over and over again.” Luna’s expression turned grim as she yelled, “It seems like I’ve been too lenient on you.”
“Actually…” Andrius tried to explain himself, but she stopped him.
“I don’t want to listen to your excuses. Stop talking. From now on, you are no longer my office assistant. You are to report to Team Five of the Project Department. Your pay will be halved.”
A hint of resentment flashed in Luna’s eyes as she glared at him. She added, “Go to the Project Department and report to Team Five’s leader.”
“Okay.”
Andrius nodded and left the CEO’s office. He was not interested in starting an argument with Luna.
Seeing him walk out of her office, Luna was even more infuriated. His indifference and frivolous attitude fueled her resentment.
How dare this poor guy from the countryside act like he was superior to others?
With that, Luna picked up her landline and called Team Five’s leader.
“Yes, Luna. What can I do for you?”
“Fatty, someone named Andrius Moonshade is going to join your team. I want you to teach him a lesson.”
“Don’t worry about it, Luna. I’ll make sure that he remembers the lesson, and he shall obey everything you say from now on.”
Luna added cautiously, “Fatty, please don’t go all out, or else I don’t know how I am going to tell my grandfather if something bad happens.”
