Chapter 912 The Peacemaker
More importantly, Luna wanted to have a conversation with Abigail.
"I'll work on my design here, then," Abigail decided as she switched on her laptop.
Luna propped her chin up, studying her friend. "Despite seeing each other daily at PearsonResidence, we hardly ever talk to each other."
"I've been feeling unusually fatigued since the pregnancy," Abigail confessed with a light chuckle.
"You've gained some weight, just like me," Luna smiled outwardly, though a hint of sadness lingeredwithin her.
"We can hit the gym together once I deliver the baby, to shed those extra pounds," Abigailsuggested, hoping to motivate Luna.
Luna sighed, "I have to stick to my medication regimen for now. Weight loss can wait until I'm fullyhealthy again."
Her complexion wasn't at its best either, leading to occasional bouts of low spirits. After all,everyone valued beauty.
"Is Josh put off by your appearance?" Abigail inquired with a playful smile.
"No, I'm put off by myself," Luna admitted with a wry smile.
Abigail sighed softly, "Luna, appreciating beauty isn't wrong, but it's crucial to embrace yourself atevery stage, whether you're carrying a few extra pounds, have flawless skin, or show signs of aging.You're one of a kind. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect others to?"
Luna was about to respond when the office door flung open abruptly.
A woman clutching a bag stood in the doorway as she addressed Luna and Abigail, "Are you theones in charge of L.Moon?"
Luna rose swiftly. "Yes, how can we assist you?"
"Get my son, Leon Yancey, expelled," the woman demanded as she entered, her voice firm.
"He needs to submit a resignation letter himself," Abigail uttered indifferently.
Luna sized her and realized she must have disapproved of her son's relationship with Irene.
"Ms. Quinn, does your company condone office romances like this? In a professional setting,employees should focus on work, not relationships!" the woman questioned sharply.
"Love is a personal freedom, especially for young people. Why should we impose restrictions?"Luna responded casually to Leon's mother, Dana Willow.novelbin
"I disagree," Dana retorted, her voice quivering with emotion.
"In that case, you should discuss it with your son," Luna replied, feeling somewhat helpless.
"He's involved with a girl from your company. Moreover, she lost both parents and has to take careof her elderly grandparents! She doesn't deserve to date my son!" Dana's anger intensified, hereyes reddening.
Abigail discreetly touched her nose.
Leon came from Capitalis, so his mother's disapproval of Irene was a common occurrence intoday's society.
"Mrs. Yancey, if you believe they're not suited for each other, I suggest speaking to Leon directly. Itwouldn't be appropriate for the company to intervene in employees' personal lives," Luna gently
reasoned, attempting to calm Dana.
Meanwhile, Abigail swiftly poured her a glass of water.
"Please, have a seat and relax. Young people have their own minds nowadays. Even if thecompany prohibits relationships, they'll find ways to meet in private. Prohibition might even causeconflicts. Don't you agree?" Luna handed the glass to Dana, gesturing for Abigail to return to herseat with a glance.
The woman was still agitated, so Luna feared that she might hurt Abigail. How was she going toexplain to Sean if something were to happen?
"You're absolutely right. It makes perfect sense. If you have prohibition, I couldn't have known whatkind of girl he was dating!" Dana breathed heavily before she took a sip of water.
"Calm down. The more agitated you get when discussing this with him, the more he will reveal hisrebellious side," Luna comforted Dana, demonstrating her adeptness in handling such delicatesituations.
Under Luna's persuasion, Dana's anger gradually faded.
"You get me perfectly! When I confronted him, he decided to leave home, and now, I have no ideawhere he's staying. The reason I came to seek your help was because I had no choice," sheconfessed with tears welling.
Luna swiftly handed her a tissue, gently dabbing away the tears. "Your son has taken an interest ina designer named Irene, right? To be honest, Irene has faced many challenges but is remarkablyambitious. From fretting over a few thousand dollars in student loans to making consistent strides,she's truly impressive. Your son seems drawn to her ambitious drive. He appears to have a keeneye for talent."
When her son was praised, the woman's pride swelled, though she still complained, "What do youmean he has a keen eye? He's simply too kind-hearted."
"Well, that's because he takes after you, and you've raised him well. Irene is actually a talentedyoung lady. She is currently working with the crew under Madam Wright's leadership. Are youfamiliar with Madam Wright? She's the director of many historical dramas, Doris Wright," Luna didn'twant to say Irene's background is not well.
Tracing the origin, everyone's ancient ancestors were tough. Hadn't mankind all progressed step bystep?
"It just… the one without parents is unacceptable." Dana looked at Luna avoided harsh judgment,because she thought Luna was a reasonable person.
"It ultimately depends on the child," Luna gently reasoned.
Dana sighed, holding the glass of water. "You don't get it. It's easier for me to communicate withhim, but if his father intervenes, things might become complicated. I recognize Irene as a decentgirl, but if his father disapproves, the marriage will not proceed."
Abigail remained silent upon hearing that.
