Chapter 504

Corinne’s lips twitched. “You have nothing better to do, don’t you, Jason? Do you have so much time

on your hands that you can remember these things?”

Jason said softly, “It’s not like I remembered it on purpose! I just couldn’t forget that day

because I consider it our first date.”

Corinne was speechless. ‘Date? What date?! I was married at the time! Even though I was just

cooperating with Jeremy, going on a date with you would be equivalent to cheating!”

She did not want to talk to Jason anymore. That rascal was teasing her at every Unfortunately for him,

he teased the wrong person.

Corinne would never fall for that!

turn!

Over at the other end, Lucas adjusted the order of the cards and looked up to see Corinne whispering

so closely to Jason. He frowned, and a touch of contempt manifested at the corners. of his eyes.

Anya’s best friend, Rosie, often mentioned how much of a flirt Corinne was, and that she would flirt

around whenever the opportunity arose. He had always been skeptical about that and believed that

Corinne was not that fickle a woman, but if Jason a veteran in the dating scene – would be so meek

toward Corinne, then it was clear that Corinne had certain tricks up

her sleeve.

Lucas could not help but feel disgusted at his newly hired young secretary.

At that moment, a crisp melody accompanied by short vibrating bursts was heard.

Lucas glanced at the caller ID on the phone, picked it up and asked, “What’s wrong? I’ll be there right

away!”

After ending the call, he raised his eyes to look at Corinne. “Miss Corinne.”

Corinne put down the water glass and got up. “Yes, sir?”

Lucas then instructed her, “Come here and take over for a bit. I need to take care of something right

now.”

Corinne did not want to, but she had no other choice except to reply, “Sure.”

She went up and took the cards from Lucas before sitting in the only empty seat at the table.

After Lucas left, Zeke’s Intrigue was piqued, and he raised his eyebrows playfully with a naughty smile

on his handsome face. He asked Corinne in a childish tone, “Pretty brave of you to take over from him.

Do you even know how to play bridge?”

Corinne said, “A little.”

Zeke smiled sinisterly, “Go ahead and give it a try! Don’t cry if you end up losing all of your boss’s funds

later.”

Corinne sighed. “Well, I’ll try my best.”

After Zeke played his card, he cocked his chin at her and said, “Your turn!”

Corinne looked at the cards that Zeke played and adjusted the order of her cards before playing

her card.

Zeke saw that she played her card correctly, so it seemed as though she did understand the rules.

Although Jason was also at the card table, he did not enter any bids and merely played his cards

according to turn.

Gerald and Zeke were on the same side, and though they did not speak, they went all out playing their

cards. After several rounds, Corinne played her last trump card and won by surprise.

The three men at the card table looked at her with all sorts of expressions, ranging from admiration to

suspicion.

Her way of playing cards was unlike that of a novice who only knew a little bit about the game. More

astonishingly, Corinne seemed to be bored the entire time and even yawned sleepily, almost as though

she was absent-minded throughout the game.

Despite all that, she still ended up securing victory. It was almost like a silent expression of contempt

for the three men.

Zeke frowned and looked at Corinne. “You can’t be serious, right? You said you only knew ‘at little’

about bridge!”

Corinne smiled slightly, “I’m telling the truth. I got lucky because Mister Lucas was dealt a good hand.”

Zeke laughed and said, “She’s quite a modest girl, isn’t she? Well, you need to rely on your luck for the

next game! How about we up the stakes since you’re so good at playing?”

Corinne did not fall for it. “If you want to bet big, you can wait to bet with Mister Lucas when he returns.

I’m just his subordinate. I have neither the money nor the right. I’m only responsible for ensuring his

money remains intact, so no, I’m not going to up the ante.”

Zeke was not about to let her off so easily. “It’s fine. We won’t use money in this bet! The next one will

be your bet. You can represent yourself to gamble with us.”
