"Panic leads to chaos."
Elliana Lyle shrugged after giving this explanation. At that ti, she couldn’t stay calm, and everything she did was in a fluster.
Although it wasn’t the first ti being kidnapped, the situation was different, it was inevitable to feel that way.
She was quite envious of Luna, who seed to fear nothing, turning a power level of a hundred into a two-thousand-point critical hit.
"It’s alright, as long as we’re alive." Luna then glanced at the door and continued, "Didn’t Norman Bennett arrange for bodyguards for you? Can’t even keep an eye on you?"
With a mocking tone, Luna clicked her tongue.
She waved her hand and said, "No, I thought the desert was hot at the ti, so I didn’t bring them."
Now she truly regretted it. From now on, no matter where she went, she had to take them along!
"See! I told you to learn from , but you didn’t take it seriously. If you had, would Lily Clarke have knocked you down with a kick?" Luna shook her head in exasperation.
She wanted to learn, but she was slow. Even a hundred frog jumps could make her legs feel "obsolete."
Those agile moves were sothing she simply couldn’t master in a short period.
Luna recalled the ti Elliana Lyle couldn’t hold the horse stance for even ten minutes, so she said, "Forget it, just exercise more. Improve your physical fitness and everything will be easier."
Elliana agreed, despite Luna being about the sa height and build as her, especially Luna’s pair of straight legs like chopsticks.
Nothing different from characters in comics.
But while she weighed about eighty pounds, Luna weighed over a hundred.
That was probably the difference in physical fitness; higher fat content might weigh less, and higher muscle content might weigh more.
So, every ti Norman Bennett picked her up, it was easy. He could even lift her whenever she didn’t behave!
"Take good care of yourself," Luna, intending to pat her hand, saw the needle and retracted, continuing, "Leave the outside matters to . I’m at ease now that I’ve found you. I’ll go back and investigate the cause of Kelly Wright’s death. For now, don’t ask Bella, wait until I find so evidence."
She nodded, recognizing how much Luna had been through these days.
She then said, "After you finish, I’ll double your salary."
"Co on, as a cleaning manager, earning eight thousand a month is already the limit."
"Huh?" Luna’s sudden sarcastic tone puzzled her. Why was she suddenly angry?
There must be a reason for this, so she asked, "What’s going on? Has Norman Bennett deducted your salary again?"
Probably not...?
Luna facepald, realizing Elliana hadn’t been around lately and probably hadn’t heard about outside events.
So she explained, "July dia’s law firm had been put on the news by soone."
"Uh?" She really hadn’t heard about this.
Luna continued, "Didn’t our law firm hire two cleaning ladies? Their monthly wage is 3000, the firm has few people, not much to clean up, so it didn’t matter if they ca in or not as long as it wasn’t too ssy; cleaning every three days was fine."
"But! A lady nad Wang heard about my salary from sowhere, felt it was outrageous, told her daughter, and her daughter brought Eleanor from that helping show for interviews to claim I was embezzling their wages, insisting on finding ."
Elliana nodded, recognizing how absurd it sounded... so she asked, "Then what happened?"
"The critical thing is this Ms. Wang, ca to the firm only twice a month, never clocked in, was consistently absent without leave, and still went looking for trouble with us."
"The firm ended up suing Ms. Wang and Eleanor’s helping show, and now they’re supposedly still in court."
This sounded like a decent ending.
But who knew Luna was so enraged that sparks flew from her eyes, and said, "Online, everyone’s saying cleaning managers’ salaries are too high, they started attacking , and finally, Mason reduced my salary to 4000 publicly."
"I just don’t get it, my salary, why do they care?"
The world indeed never ceases to amaze. But it’s just a minor issue; she chuckled and comforted, "Small issue, why bother with them?"
"How is it a small issue? You don’t know how ridiculously it spread online. I’m a bit like you and Buddy in so ways, and they’re saying I’m at least the third party between you and Norman Bennett."
"Now, when I step out, I encounter more paparazzi than you do."
Elliana: "..."
A huge commotion caused by a cleaning lady.
She knew Luna wouldn’t want to appear publicly, so she couldn’t explain anything. The best move now was to create a bigger topic to overshadow this.
Honestly, she hadn’t been able to follow online matters lately, feeling like a primitive cave dweller.
Taking Luna’s phone, she looked, and the current topic at the bottom was the cleaning manager’s topic.
Clicking into one casually, all sorts of netizens guessing.
One comnt said, "Could this woman be Elliana Lyle? Otherwise, why can’t you find a clear picture of the cleaning manager online? Only photos with masks and hats, and who even knows this cleaning manager Luna’s full na? Nobody, right? And July dia, it has ’moon’ in it!"
This guess was outlandish, turning her disappearance into a conspiracy.
Even though this comnt hadn’t gained much attention yet, it could beco a point of attack for so haters.
It wouldn’t stir strong waves, but it wasn’t advantageous either.
Luna shrugged, feigning nonchalance, "It’s fine, those people can’t find now. As long as I don’t appear at July dia, it’s fine."
She nodded, returning the phone to Luna, saying, "I’ll handle this."
Lily Clarke is the next hot topic.
Daring to openly harm her, she wouldn’t hold back either.
"How will you handle it?" Luna casually asked.
"Simple, find soone similar to you to step in, won’t that solve it? As for Ms. Wang, as long as they don’t continue their nonsense, it’ll pass."
After all, a cleaning person with chronic absenteeism complaining about low wages while causing trouble isn’t sothing anyone would tolerate.
"Alright then," Luna nodded.
After all, she didn’t care about the cleaning manager’s position; it was just a contract Norman Bennett signed for easier managent of her.
The actual big salary ca from Elliana Lyle.
So she said disdainfully, "Waiting for that pittance from Norman Bennett, I might as well starve to death."
"But seriously, why are Andrew, Wang, and Li’s salaries increasing every month? Is Norman Bennett targeting or what?"
"Hmm..." Elliana thought for a mont, then laughed, "Maybe he thinks I’ll pay you, so he gives you less."
That’s indeed how it was, plus Owen Sutton kept emphasizing to Norman Bennett not to give Luna too much money.
Owen Sutton hoped this sister would ask him directly for money, which was probably why Owen Sutton made money in the first place.
But unfortunately, Luna didn’t need him, always wanting to be independent, which made Owen Sutton as a brother feel quite defeated.
