Chapter 449

Corinne walked up to the desk, pulled out one of the chairs, and sat down on it.

“Mister Lucas, I highly suggest you reconsider your decision.”

Lucas frowned. He was not happy that she took a seat without his permission.

“Why should I?”

Corinne looked at his handsome face and said matter-of-factly, “While I was waiting for my interview, I

helped you assess every candidate that walked in the door. Except for me, all the girls who came did

not come for the job. Instead, they came in the hopes of getting close to you. I believe you wouldn’t

want someone who’s trying to climb into your bed to be your executive secretary, right?”

Lucas laughed coldly. “That’s quite a fair warning, Miss Carew, but the fact that I won’t hire them

doesn’t mean that I’ll hire you either. I can hire a man for the job to avoid getting myself into the tricky

situation you so kindly warned me about.”

Corinne expected he would say that. She smiled and continued, “There were a few guys came for the

interview but I overheard them talking about your body, your sexual orientation, and a few other things

that had nothing to do with the job. I’m pretty sure they came for the same reason as the girls. I’m sure

you’d much prefer a swooning girl secretary over a swooning guy secretary, right?”

Lucas was speechless. Corinne successfully riled him up. He was so angry that he could not even

drink the coffee in his hand.

“You’re right, Miss Carew. But how can I be sure that you’re not the same as them? That you’re not

trying to climb into my bed as well?”

Corinne looked him dead in the eye to make sure he knew that she was serious. There was even a

little bit of disgust in her eyes. “Mister Lucas, you can rest assured at the fact I have no whatsoever

interest in you. I’ll never fall for you even if you use every trick in the book to

seduce me.”

Lucas choked on his coffee. He cleared his throat and glared at her. “And why won’t you ever

fall for me?”

“Well, that’s simple. It’s because I hate you,” said Corinne without skipping a beat.

Lucas was stunned. This was the first time a woman ever told him she hated him.

“Likewise, likewise.” Lucas chuckled wryly. “If you hate me so much then why do you still want to work

for me? Don’t you think find this contradictory at all?”

Corinne did not think so. “Mister Lucas, the person I hate is you. Not your company or this job I’m

applying for. So it’s not contradictory at all. I’m perfectly able to keep my work and

personal life separate so you don’t have to worry that my dislike of you will affect my work. If you don’t

believe me, you can try me out for a few days. I can guarantee you that you’ll find my performance up

to your standard and I can also guarantee you that I’ll never climb into your bed.”

Lucas was speechless. Every meeting with her seemed to bring a new surprise to him. It was not that

he disliked her, it was just that he did not like her bullying Anya. He would not be surprised if one day,

he came to admire her courage and grit.

Not only was Corinne beautiful but she possessed a kind of maturity that was beyond her age, though

she looked younger than she was. Lucas was sure her come-what-may attitude alone would set her

apart from the rest of her peers in the future.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing how she will continue to blossom!’ thought Lucas.

At that moment, a knock came from outside and Edmund’s voice could be heard saying, ” Mister

Lucas. Miss Anya and Mister Jeremy have come to visit you.

Hearing this, Corinne’s face immediately changed. She completely lost the composure she had

moments ago. Her first instinct was to get up and leave the room.

‘What the h*ll? I get why Anya would come here but what’s Jeremy doing here as well?
