Compared to the pretentious answers given by the candidates before, Corinne’s answer was like a

breath of fresh air.

‘Wait a minute. Why does her voice sound so familiar?’ thought Edmund. He looked up and his eyes

immediately widened in recognition. ‘Corinne Carew?!’

Corinne smiled amicably at him.

Edmund snapped out of his shock and frowned. He reminded himself to be wary of her since. her

history with both Lucas and Anya were less than desirable.

“Miss Carew, what are you doing here?”

“I came here for the interview, of course.”

The frown on Edmund’s forehead became deeper. “You want to be Mister Lucas’ executive secretary?”

Corinne nodded confidently. “Yup.”

Edmund did not have a good impression of her. He thought she came here to make trouble for the

Riveras so he said coldly, “I’m sorry but, given your past, I don’t think Mister Lucas would have to have

you as his executive secretary. You may leave now. Next!”

Corinne remained seated. “How do you know he wouldn’t want me to be his executive secretary?” she

asked with the same amicable smile still on her face.

Edmund was just about to answer her question when Corinne added, “Don’t tell me it’s because you

have a gut feeling.”

Edmund became speechless.

Corinne smiled. “Well, I must say this certainly isn’t very professional of you. How can an interviewer

reject someone based on their personal feelings instead of meticulously going through the candidates’

ability to carry out the work listed down in the job description?”

“Well, what would you do if you were in my shoes?” Edmund asked. He was not at all happy at having

to deal with her.

Corinne straightened herself up and said, “You should at least take a good look at my resume to see

whether I’m qualified for the job, and if I’m not, you’ll need to give me a valid reason for not being

selected.”

Edmund’s face became as black as thunder. Not being able to come up with a comeback, he could

only grit his teeth and flipped through her resume.

‘Let’s see! Strong academic record. Previously worked in a Fortune 500 company. There’s nothing in

her resume that’ll allow me to reject her!’

Edmund looked up at Corinne again. “What was your reason for applying for this job again?”

“I said, the money being offered is good!”

Edmund smirked. “So you’re only doing it for the money. Well, our company doesn’t need someone

who’s only in it for the money.”

Corinne raised her eyebrow and asked without hesitation, “Then might I ask why you’re working here?

Is it not because you want to earn money so that you can take care of your family? If you’re not doing it

for the money, then you might as well volunteer to work for free. That’ll show Mister Lucas just how

much you love this job.”

Edmund became red with anger. He was never been mocked like this before. “Where are your

manners? How dare you talk like this to an interviewer?”

Corinne smiled. “Haven’t you heard of the quote ‘Life is like a mirror’? Smile and it smiles back at you

so the fact that you’re asking me where are my manners implies that you don’t have any manners too.”

“Why you!” Edmund could not win against her so he impatiently said, “Your personality isn’t suitable for

this job. You may leave now. Next!”

Again, Corinne did not move from her seat. “There’s no one else after me. I’m the last candidate. You

have no choice but to choose me. Besides, it’ll take you more than a lifetime to find the perfect

executive secretary for Mister Lucas so why not just choose me?”

Edmund glared at her silently. He wanted to call security to escort her out but thought better of it since

she used to be Jeremy’s wife. It would not bode well for him if he crossed that family again.

After thinking it over, he got up and went outside to call Lucas,

Lucas was in his office reading some emails. He picked up the phone absent-mindedly.

“What? Corinne has come for an interview?” he asked with narrowed eyes after Edmund told

him about the situation.

“Yes. She wouldn’t leave no matter what. I’m guessing she’s going to stay put until she gets the job.

Mister Lucas, I have never met such a shameless candidate in all of my life.”

“Bring her to my office.”

“Yes, Mister Lucas.”
