Chapter 521
It was not working hours yet so the staff did not arrive. However, someone was already working at the president’s
secretary’s desk.
Corinne immediately got up and bowed respectfully toward Lucas when she saw him coming in. “Good morning,
Mister Lucas.”
Lucas paused in his tracks and looked her up and down. “You don’t look the worse for the wear so you must have
gotten out alright from last night’s predicament. Your grit is commendable,
Miss Carew.”
Corinne maintained a smile on her face. “Thank you for your praise, Mister Lucas.”
Not wanting to see her a moment longer, Lucas then went into his own office. Edmund, however, stayed behind and
said quietly, “Ahem, Miss Carew. I hope nothing bad happened to you last night.”
“Don’t worry. I’m fine. Nothing bad happened,” said Corinne lightly.
“Glad to hear that.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEdmund sighed with pity for Corinne.
Last night, Anya cried the whole time because she saw Jeremy holding Corinne in his arms. She could not accept
the fact that she might lose him soon.
Lucas spent the whole night trying to console her, so he did not sleep a wink which explained his sour mood today.
‘I don’t blame Mister Lucas for not liking Miss Carew since she seems to be the biggest obstacle in Mister Jeremy’s
and Miss Anya’s relationship.’
Anya was the apple of Lucas’s eye so he could never bear to see her being sad and yet that
Corinne.
For the entire morning, Lucas did not call Corinne into his office nor did he give her any word to do. However, he did
ask Edmund to go in a few times. Even his coffee was brought in by Edmund.
It was obvious Lucas did not want to see Corinne today and knowing this, she did not go into his office. Instead, she
spent the whole morning organizing the files on her phone and playing card games on her computer after that.
Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on her desk all of a sudden.
Corinne looked up from her computer and was immediately greeted by the dashing face of Jason smiling down at
her.
“You seem like you’re hard at work.”
Jason’s presence just brought back into mind all the repercussions that followed after he saved his number under
‘Hubby’ so she was understandably not that happy to see him.
However, she was still at work and had to abide by her professionalism. She got up, smiled cordially at Jason, and
said, “Mister Jason, are you here to see Mister Lucas? Please wait a moment. I’ll let him know you’re here.”
She then picked up the office phone and dialed Lucas’s office number.
Seeing this, Jason immediately pressed the switch hook to prevent the call from going through.
“I’m here to see you today.”
Gone was the professional smile on Corinne’s face and in its place was an unhappy frown.
“You’re here to see me? Well, I’m afraid you’re just wasting your time since I’m still working.”
Jason smiled and said mysteriously, “Well, you won’t be doing that in just a few minutes.”
He then turned around and went into Lucas’s office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne frowned, wanting to stop him but the door closed before she could do that.
‘How rude of him. I haven’t even informed Mister Lucas of his arrival. Mister Lucas will hold
this over my head later.”
As expected, she was called into the office by Lucas not long after Jason went in.
Corinne knew that she made a mistake again, so she brewed two cups of coffee and brought them into the office,
thinking Lucas would not be as angry if he had some coffee to drink.
She placed each cup of coffee in front of Lucas and Jason before walking over to the side and said dutifully, “Mister
Lucas, you’ve asked me to come into your office?”
Lucas looked at her, picked up the cup of coffee, and took a sip of it. After that, he said unhurriedly, “Corinne,
you’ve been officially promoted to be the manager of the sales department from now and your main task is to liaise
with Talbot Group in whatever business. we have with them. I hope you use this opportunity to learn from Mister
Jason on how to do
business.”
Corinne was stunned. ‘What? Is this happening? I haven’t even done anything in this company and he’s promoting
me to the sales manager?’
