Chapter 637
Lucas found it highly suspicious that a young woman who came from an impoverished background and who just
recently graduated would have the money to stay in a five–star hotel.
A corner of Corinne’s lips started twitching. “Mister Lucas, please don’t tell me you think I have a crush on you.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you have a crush on me or not but let me warn you, you better not do anything you
shouldn’t, or else things could end up very badly for you,” said Lucas with a threatening smile.
Corinne smiled and shrugged. “I’m not plotting anything if that’s what you’re implying and if you don’t believe me,
well, that’s not my problem.”
At that moment, the elevator door opened again and around a dozen or so people surged in. Most of them had a
laptop in their hands and some of them were laughing and talking to each other. They seemed to be on their way to

Corinne was suddenly pushed to the innermost corner of the elevator and through the rush, someone accidentally
stepped on her foot. “Umm, excuse me but can you please move your foot? You’re stepping on me!”
The man who stepped on her foot was not part of the group of event–goers. He was already in a bad mood due to
how crowded it was inside the elevator so he turned around and looked at Corinne impatiently.
However, his eyes widened in surprise as soon as he laid eyes on her face. He then quickly moved his foot away
and said smilingly, “Sorry about that, gorgeous. I didn’t see your foot there. I hope I didn’t hurt you.”
Corinne shook her head. “I’m fine.”
The man moved closer to her and started flirting with her. “By the way, are you alone?”
Corinne took in the way he was looking at her pervertedly and immediately decided to ignore him. She pretended
to be busy with her phone but the man would not let up so easily. He moved even closer to her and asked, “Why
aren’t you saying anything, gorgeous? Which room are you in? Maybe I can come by for a visit if you’re feeling
bored later.”
Corinne was visibly disgusted by the man but she had nowhere to run or hide in the crowded elevator. Thus, in her
cold voice, she said, “I came here with my friend.”
The man looked disappointed. “Oh, can we exchange phone numbers then? That way I can ask you out for dinner.”
Corinne did not even spare him a glance as she said, “No, thanks.”
The man beamed another perverted and confident smile at her before moving even closer to her. “Hey, don’t be
like this. Fate has brought us together so we need to cherish it.”
Corinne’s face turned as black as thunder. Ignoring him, she pressed her body against the elevator wall to get away
from him. She came across this type of man before and knew that the more she talked to him the more he would
think he had a chance with her. It was all very repulsive.

However, the man became visibly upset at being ignored by Corinne. His pride could not take the hit so he decided
to come up with a ruse.
Suddenly, he shouted, “Hey, stop pushing me!” even though no one was doing that. Then, he lurched toward
Corinne and put his arms on both sides of the walls to effectively trapped her in between.
“Hey gorgeous, sorry but I was pushed by the other people. Don’t you worry though, I’ll protect you from them,” he
said with a fake smile. His righteous–sounding words were in contrast to his behavior as he pressed himself against
Corinne’s body to take advantage of her.
Corinne was incensed by what he was doing. She frowned with disgust and shook her wrists to loosen them up.
‘Wait for it, Corinne. The elevator might break if I hit him here. You’ll have your chance to beat up this pervert as
soon as we’re all out of the elevator,‘ she said to herself.
However, before the elevator door even opened, a cold and deep voice rang out.
“Get away from her.”
The man was a little taken aback by the sudden intrusion. ‘Who’s saying that? It sounded like a man’s voice.”
