Ten years?

Abura’s mineral resources were highly sought after by both domestic and foreign companies, and

plenty of corporations from powerful countries were eyeing this collaboration. That was why the person

in charge from Abura was always been fearless and arrogant. He was also famously difficult to

manage.

At first, the Rivera Group only wanted to get a deal with Abura to collaborate for the next five years.

However, the crown prince of Abura did not agree. He said he would only agree to sign for three years

at most, and the terms of collaboration would be renegotiated after three years.

Even if it was just a three-year collaboration, it was a deal that was hard to finalize. Corinne was gone

over for an hour, yet she got a deal for a ten-year collaboration. Lucas was slightly dazed, and he

looked a little surprised. “She could speak Aburian?” Edmund answered with great certainty, “Yes,

she’s very fluent, and she seems to be humorous. The person in charge from Abura was so amused

that he kept bursting into laughter! Sir, Miss Corinne wants me to ask you what time she can report to

work tomorrow.”

Lucas gave it a thought while squinting. “Tell her to come to the company tomorrow morning. Once the

ten-year contract for us to collaborate with Abura is officially signed, she can then officially come on

board.”

“Yes, sir!” replied Edmund.

At first, Edmund had the least faith in Corinne, but he seemed to have no opinions about her joining the

company anymore.

After he hung up the call, Lucas-who always looked unfazed-still had a sense of disbelief on his face.

Seeing that, Anya had a faint sense of foreboding. She asked, “Lucas, who did you say is coming

onboard? You’re not hiring Corinne as your secretary, right?

Regaining his senses, Lucas nodded calmly and said, “She seemed to be quite capable. If she’s

competent, then I can indeed hire her.”

Since Corinne closed the deal with Abura, then once the contract was signed, it would be the safest for

her to manage the follow-ups; only then would there be no concern on Abura’s end.

Anya did not expect that Corinne would be hired by Lucas. She secretly started to have her guard up,

but she smiled very understandingly instead. “Lucas, Corinne is indeed a very clever girl. With her as

your secretary, she certainly would be of great help to you! But, I know I shouldn’t get involved with the

company’s affairs, but I still want to give you a little reminder. Corinne’s great, but she has a bad

temper. In terms of her character, she’s not suitable to be a secretary, who needs to be highly

compliant. You should consider it carefully!”

Lucas rubbed Anya’s head dotingly. “Mm-hmm. I know what I’m doing. Thank you for worrying about

me!”

He knew what his precious sister was concerned about. Corinne’s appearance made Anya- who was

unable to capture Jeremy’s heart, to begin with-feel insecure.

Even if Lucas hired Corinne, it would be because of her competence. However, putting Corinne under

his nose would make it convenient for him to keep an eye on her for Anya and not let her go wandering

in front of Jeremy again!

Seeing that Lucas had no intention to change his mind, Anya had no choice but to continue faking a

smile. “Alright, then.”

Lucas sat up straight and took a sip of water. “Anya, how’s the child doing?”

Anya was stunned and feeling sheepish. “W-what child?”

Lucas glared at her while pretending to be serious. “The child you and Jeremy adopted abroad! What’s

the matter? How much longer do you plan on hiding it from me?”

Knowing that she could not hide it anymore, Anya said pitifully, “You already know about it?”

Lucas sneered. “You’ve been going out early and coming home late every day for the past month,

being occupied by something. How could I not be worried? I found out after asking Edmund to look into

your tracks for the past month.”

Anya was afraid Lucas would reprimand her, so she explained pitifully with tears in her eyes, Lucas,

you know my biggest wish since childhood was to marry the man I love, have lots of children with him,

and live happily together as a family.”
