Chapter 448

Edmund hung up the phone.

“Miss Carew, please follow me. Mister Lucas would like to see you.”

Corinne was not surprised. She got up and followed Edmund to Lucas’ office. His office was just like

his elegant but cold.

“Mister Lucas, I’ve brought Miss Carew here to see you,” said Edmund with a bow.

There were a few unique handicrafts on the desk and behind the desk was a large office chair with its

back facing them. However, Lucas did not turn around even after Edmund greeted him.

After bringing Corinne here and greeting Lucas, he then turned around and walked out of the room

without being prompted.

‘I guess his job is to only bring me here,’ thought Corinne. She waited patiently for Lucas to turn around

but when he did not, she politely said, “Mister Lucas, my name is Corine Carew and I wish to work as

your executive secretary.”

After a few seconds, Lucas finally slowly turned around. He was holding a cup of steaming hot coffee in

his hand. His elegance gave him both a dignified and indifferent air.

He smiled at Corinne but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Hello, Miss Carew. It’s been a while. What

tricks are you trying to pull this time? Tell me, why would you suddenly apply to be my executive

secretary?”

“Because I need money and the salary being offered for this position is quite generous so I thought why

not?”

Lucas smiled and took a sip of his coffee. He looked at her mockingly and said, “If I remember

correctly, you’re not the type to grovel for money. Previously, you were determined to give me back the

cheque I wrote for you and that cemented my impression of you having no interest in money. You’re

probably regretting your decision now huh?”

Corinne looked at Lucas calmly. She did not seem to be fazed by Lucas’ attempt at breaking her down.

“I never said I have no interest in money. On the contrary, I love money very much. It’s just that I don’t

like it when other people throw money at me so that they could feel better about themselves. Mister

Lucas, why don’t we let bygones be bygones? I didn’t come here to beg. Instead, I came here today to

apply for a job in the hope of using my skill to earn some money. And that’s not groveling.”

Lucas narrowed his eyes to size her up. He then smiled and said, “You wish to work here? Miss Carew,

might you be overestimating yourself just a little too much?”

“No, I’m not. Why don’t you hire me and see for yourself?” Corinne said resolutely.

Lucas pulled back his gaze from her and took a sip of coffee. “No, thanks. Our company doesn’t

need a wild card like you working for us. I highly suggest you go work somewhere else, Miss

Carew.”

Corinne frowned at him. The thought of sharing the same mother with the arrogant and mean man in

front of her made her shudder uncontrollably. She would not be sitting here talking to him if it were not

for the sake of getting more information about her mother. She swore to herself that she would not be

walking out of the company without getting a job.
