La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 40

"Master Adam is back." Alex whispers to Ellard.

The middle-aged man only nodded small. Then he told Alex to come out.

"Nina, come in" Ellard said in her intercom.

"Can I help you, sir?" Nina came in after knocking on the door. The girl nodded respectfully at Ellard.

"Is Adam back?" ellard asked the secretary of his son-in-law.

"Yes, Sir. Just this morning."

"What is he doing in Turkey?" Ellard interrogated the girl.

"There are complaints for export to several countries in Europe, sir. One of them is in Turkey." Nina dared to say it because Adam had already come home.

"Complain? Not a collaborative journey? You guys didn't even report it to me?" Ellard wrath. For that trivial thing, let alone regarding the good name of the company, but no one told him.

"Sorry, Sir. Mr. Adam asked us to keep it. He said he could handle it himself." Nina who felt guilty just lowered her face, the girl showed her regret.

"Nina! You were either my secretary or Luna. You know exactly what I or Luna look like. We do not tolerate lies of any kind within this company. Whoever it is!" ellard said firmly.

As the initial owner, although now the ownership was in the hands of Luna, Ellard became furious with his son-in-law. He was like someone else to cover up a problem of this magnitude.

"I'm sorry, sir. Really." Nina cupped both her hands together. "I was only asked to keep this matter until Mr. Adam arrived. Because he told me that if he came back it would mean that the problem was resolved." Nina looks glazed. He realized his own ignorance. Forgetting that he was working on Luna instead of Adam.

"Go back to your desk! We'll talk again after Luna comes back." Ellard's mad not playing. Many times his clenched hands pounded his desk.

Apparently his chosen daughter-in-law had already begun to dare to mess with him.

"How's it?"

"Thank God, Stef. Ms. Luna's detention could be suspended. On the condition that he is prohibited from going abroad" said Andrew, a lawyer who appointed Stefan for Luna.

"Thank you, And. You can always count on." Stefan smiled with relief. The man patted his old best friend while he was in college in America.

Andrew breezed away ushered by Stefan. Afterwards the man approached Luna who was still holding Adam's arm.

"I'm also grateful to you, Stef. Thankfully there is you. Otherwise, I don't know what happened to Luna" Adam told his wife's cousin.

"Look easy." Stefan patted Adam's arm. "Well, I'll go home first. The investigation continues. Remember what we discussed, Lun," said Stefan glanced at the beautiful woman beside Adam.

Actually, since morning he wanted to say hello to the woman. But Stefan didn't have a chance and also the right reason. Since Adam came, they have been inseparable.

Luna just nodded. The woman did not say much due to exhaustion.

Stefan said goodbye, and left first with his car.

"We're going home now, honey?" take Adam to his wife.

"Yes, go straight to the house. Or we go to Papa's house, get El."

"El was there?"

"Everything. Aunt Ofelia and Uncle Alex. Ah, I forgot something. My bag's with Stefan, honey." Luna cursed at his carelessness. How could he forget the existence of his bag.

"Let me call him. You go to the car first, I was with the company driver earlier. I'll go to the toilet for a second, yeah," Adam said to his wife.

Luna and Adam split up at the crossroads. The woman was about to step into her car.

His steps came to a halt when suddenly the sound of someone clapping behind him sounded. But Luna walked again because she felt no connection with what she heard.

"You're great Mrs Adam Walton" said a person who sounded very close.

There, not far from where he stood, was a beautiful socialite woman with a mocking look.

"You're very lucky today. But certainly not for tomorrow. Just wait, you'll be picked up back here or even behind the prison bars!" The woman stepped closer, with slow steps and arms crossed in the chest. Her face looked happy. "And I hope, rot there!"

"I'm sorry I don't know you" said Luna casually. He did not know this woman in front of him at all. And Luna refused to respond to the insults thrown at her. "Maybe you're wrong."

Luna almost turned around. But the woman in front of him was quickly dedicating, to the neat-looking man behind him. Then the man stepped forward to approach Luna.

"He's my client, as well as your customer Mrs Walton. Miss Angeline Peterson, the owner of the diamond necklace."

Luna was shocked, but she did not show it. He just did not expect, if the woman in front of him is Angeline. One of the Peterson family heirs. And the man who gave the explanation was his lawyer.

Luna was silent for a moment. Think short to give a proper reply to the rich lady.

Angeline does not even show elegant behavior like most rich people.

Her views on Angelina Peterson changed when she found out she knew Stefan. It could be like Pauline, who he later found out that his former friend liked Stefan. That's why the girl was so mean to him.

All because of Stefan!

"Oh ... So you're Miss Angeline Peterson. Owner of a diamond necklace that was accidentally stolen to bring down my company. And it seems that the thief is also not far from ... You!" Luna bravely learned a little reality that of course she already knew.

But the wrong thing was his lawyer. The man looked back and forth under suspicion.

"intentionally? Are you crazy? It turned out that the daughter of the famous Efrain family was really quite unexpected. I thought you were like any other girl who looked fancy and classy. The reality ... far away," Angeline sneered.

The woman shook her hand to support her words.

This rich lady certainly knows who Luna Efrain is. His decision to accept the offer of cooperation from his cousin was not wrong.

At first he was just curious. Luna was not touched by the media about her personal life, apart from her work as a businessman and wife of Adam Walton.

Almost all rich people in the country always show off their perfect personal life. Unlike Luna who prefers to refuse all interview offers or as a guest in every event if the topic discussed is family and personal issues.

Luna is not like them. His past life still dominates, so he prefers the closeness and warmth of his own family rather than just showing off in the media.

Plus, since Angeline knew that the person she was betrothed to liked the woman.

Yep. Angeline is the girl who was introduced to Stefan while in Italy. Their parents had agreed to match the two. And unexpectedly Stefan who is usually obedient even refused.

A challenge for Angeline. The girl had never even been rejected by any rich man. Just this time he was rejected by Stefan so that his grudge would not allow the man to belong to anyone.

"There is no need to be luxurious and classy for people to appreciate. Because no matter how rich you are, it won't make people really appreciate you if you behave like that, Miss. They're just gonna appreciate your money, not that respectable lawyer father." Luna glanced at the man standing next to Angeline.

"Emc ... Yes, ma'am, that's right. Ahh..I mean_"

"Already! You should have supported me instead of saying so," cried Angeline scolding her lawyer.

The man looked down and hid his face in shame. They're in a public place, in a police station. Although far from the office building itself, but then the people who want to go to the toilet had to look at Angeline.

Luna shook her head while smiling mockingly. "Miss, even you just proved that what I said was true."

"You're the cheap woman Adam picked up, right? I know you even grew up in a brothel. What can be relied upon of such a woman?" Angeline feels victorious with what she knows about Luna.

Luna held back. His chest rumbled withstanding anger as well as pain. People always scoffed at his childhood life.

"Thank you, Miss. But I am grateful that despite my past being like that, my husband loves me and accepts me for who I am. While you? I heard that my cousin refused to be betrothed to you. It's more bitter, when you don't lack anything" said Luna hanging.

"You!!!"
